How to be happy and contented?

Working in the same company for more than 20 years as an administrative staff, having four children from three pregnancies and still looking good and happy, these are the quick facts of a marvellous woman who shared with me very candidly about her ways of life.

She is a happy-go-lucky person and has often told her colleagues to take things easy when they are faced with problems. She believes that we should live our lives happily, hold no grudges or resentment towards others and live and let live. Her positive attitude and her ability in taking things easy in life are the attributes that make her a happy and contented person. She is able to juggle her work and family well. This is the envy and desire of many working mothers.

So, if you have been bogged down by many things in your life and feel troubled over them, why not learn to take things easy, stop worrying and start living a happy life. Be contented with what you have, stop looking at and being bothered by what others have. You only see the outside of others, but you don't see what is inside them. They might have more problems that you don't know because of what they have that you don't. Many things look good on the outside but not on the inside. Think about it.
