Intermezzo, hubby and I are great fans of NCIS. Go Jethro Gibbs! (Hehe... If hubby read this, he'll profusely deny it. Whatever's....)
What it got to do with secret of happiness?
The Mighty Gibbs has a set of rules on which he lives by. Following these rules, he is happier, and most likely will stay in the path that he chose to stick on.
As born Catholics, of course we do believe in following The Bible truthfully. Read a good quote the other day. "In school, the bible is discouraged. In prison, it is encouraged. If it is encouraged in school the first place, the student wouldn't be in prison anyway." The Bible really provided a comprehensive guidance on how to live life contentedly.
But, my over-active brain still needs an outlet. Hence, my very own set of secret of happiness. :)
So, number two is... To forgive and forget.
Thou shall not live your life dwelling in grievances. What is past is past. As there is no use to worry about tomorrow, ditto with regretting the past.
A very important aspect that people often forget is to forgive and forget our own mistakes. Do damage control, and carry on.
I saw, see, and very sure am going to see that naturally, we're most unforgiving to the people closest to us. Somehow it is very natural for people to expect our beloved a to share our brain, heart, and soul. No, they are not... We're each a unique human being. Every one of us. So let go... Give them some room of mistakes and mishaps.
Educated in convent schools, I was drilled on the meaning of repentance. It is not only to regret one's mistake, but also to be willing to improve, to be better.
So ganbatteru! Jia you!
