Who Wants a GEM?

What motivates you?

Happiness motivates me.

You might think me strange but these are the three things that MAKE me happy:

1. Gratitude

2. Empathy

3. Mindfulness

1. Gratitude: Living in the moment and being thankful for what is in front of me.

2. Empathy: Caring, kindness, and awareness for others’ happiness.

3. Mindfulness: Releasing all thoughts that don’t serve you and seeking the thoughts that do.

I live a simple life on a government disability income, I don’t have much, nor do I need much. I pay all my bills and I have goals and things I want, but I don’t base my happiness on what I might or might not accomplish. I just base my life on being happy NOW.

Whatever I can live without, I donate all I can to orphanages helping vulnerable people.

I don’t seek thanks when I give. But it honestly fills me with humble gratitude that some of the very poorest children on earth don’t have to worry as much about where their next meal is coming from, and hope about making the world a better place for them.

Each and every child is made in God’s Image!

Every child without parents deserves to know that they are worthy of kindness, and actually receive it!!

GEM

It’s that simple.

Practice of all three: Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness. This has been the successful key to my happiness, always. Releasing what doesn’t make me happy, working to help increase happiness of those I care for. Remaining present, in the moment, seeking the good things in my day, being grateful for them, and adding to the happiness of others.

Thanks for reading.
