That is a truly inspiring video. I didn’t know it was possible for a person. Daniel Kish shows you no matter how difficult life can be, you can overcome all obstacles. Thanks for posting.

That’s true. Almost everyone around us has enough to choose to ‘thrive’ and to be happy/content. I can’t stand it when I am around people who like to complain all the time. I love being around people who seem to be enjoying everything.

Watching that movie just should remind everyone of what they have and the things that they can lose. Sometimes blogs like this are necessary so that we can be reminded of how fortunate we are. Very nice post.

Hi:

This was a very sensitive post.

So many books have been written about how to be happy or how to thrive even while facing obstacles.

I suppose I should be thrilled that these young men are blind and still have the faith to ride their bicycles, and I am happy for them.

I know in that situation, it would be a challenge to do as they are doing. But, really, what is the message of the video for me? That I should be happy just because my challenges are not as obvious or great as these two boys?

I’ll share with you a seminar that I signed up for. It cost $100, and the fellow advertised that he was going to show us how to be happy.

On the day of the seminar, all 150 of us assembled in a crowded room.

The man went up to the podium, and said,

“How many of you want to be happy?”

We all raised our hands

Then he said, “Then BE happy!”

That was it.

Then he said, anyone who wishes to have their money back, we will be issuing refunds at the door.

About half of the crowd did.

But, I didn’t.

I thought that the message was worth $100.

All I had to do to be happy was BE HAPPY.

We can talk around that message all day long, but if we aren’t willing to BE HAPPY we are hopeless.

Thank you again for your guidance.

So true. In life, it is just a mental metamorphosis. If your mind says this, your life will turn out to be like that. Just like when you say youre tired, your body and mood reactions follows. Youre gonna be tired the rest of your life. but when you go out, and fight that tireness your body feels, youll be more energetic than before. So In able to survive life, keep your mind on the right path.
