Perseverance, contentment and gratitute

Can anybody tell me the meaning of the words perseverance, contentment and gratitude without necessarily seeking the help of a dictionary? When will the people learn to persevere? When will they learn to be contented? and When will they be grateful?

People are unfair sometimes, and yes even some members of your own family are unfair. Been there. Done that. Felt that. oohhhh its so funny familiar, yet true.

You make sure everyone is happy, to the point that you forget yourself sometimes. But why is it that people notice your one shortcoming and forget the bunch of goodness you have done? And why is it that they would make it sound that you are “bad” after not doing one thing obviously and usually expected from you? Why? Have i not provided enough? Have i not provided well enough? Does anybody really think i am a problem-free kinda woman??wheeewww!

Noone is spared from having problems, that i believe. Even the richest man on earth has problems of his own. I have problems too but i have my ways to solve it. We should persevere, we should work, we should prepare for the uncertainties the future brings so that when we are in need we can provide ourselves- exhaust our resources- without relying on anybody.

Living in contentment is living within your means. It is not necessarily comfortable though. It only means that we should live with the things we need. Should there be extra, like a couple of so called “likes” and “wants” consider it a bonus but never consider them ” extra needs” or you will end up with a long list of extra needs..know what i mean?

Be grateful - in what you have, in where you are and in what you are into. Not only that, also be grateful with what you don’t have, in where you are not and in what you are not into…why? because in life there is always two sides - the well-defined side and the vague side. Whichever side you are, there is always a reason, an explaination. God always makes sure you are in the well-defined side and that alone is one great thing that we should be grateful of. When we are in the vague side, its only a prequisite for us to learn, realize and apppreciate when we are already in the better side.

To make it short: work hard ( or even harer ), live simply, give thanks.

I am grateful i grew up with strong will, with substance. Being a feisty capricorn, i strive, i survive. I play competitively ( with mind and body in combo). .. so cheer up pips.. Viva Femme Fatale….

Viva to life!
