Counting Blessings - A Personal Project

"Counting Blessings" is a new personal project on pursuing a happy lifestyle. A lot of our discontent stems from our desires to pursue things that we perceive will bring us happiness, when actually we are already very lucky to have so much in life.

I can't remember from which movie/drama that I heard this story from, but find it very meaningful.

A man told his daughter that the best school in life is the hospital, because it is only when we fall sick that we realized how important health is, and material pursuit are secondary or even tertiary.

How very true. Let's hope we will alway bear this in mind, and not appreciate this fact only when we are unwell.


And finally, a quote from Mark Twain:
"Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth."
