My Own Beautiful Life

What is a beautiful life? Everyone may have different meaning about a beautiful life. Let us take an example, a young girl from a middle class society graduates from a senior high school and she applies to a vacant for a flight attendant position in an airplane company. Soon, she works there. She becomes a flight attendant in a local flight. Then nearly six years in her work time, she meets a man from high-class society then they marry. Before a year of their marriage, they get a beautiful baby girl. She says that she had a beautiful life.
Maybe from her point of view, she has found happiness in her life. She feels there is nothing else she wants for her life. She graduate from school, she works just right after she graduate. As a flight attendant, which she can travel anywhere in the country. Then she marries to some one from high-class society, who off course can fulfill everything she needs, and she gets a beautiful baby. It looks like God has given her what every woman wants. Yes, she has gotten everything that a woman wants in her life. But it is truly a beautiful life? Everything that may bring happiness in our life, can we call it a way to a beautiful life?
It seems that one being living in high-class society is having a beautiful life. She can wear fine clothes, eat fine food. And she can hear many pride, and she will be happy. But what if all of those thing gone. Will she feel that her life is beautiful? Wearing fine clothes, eating fine food, hearing a pride, those are just a matter of a thought that is conveyed from our taste, our organ to our brain and to be a pattern . Our eyes will convey the message whether the clothes are fine or not, our tongue will convey whether the taste of the food is delicious or not. What will she say if she cannot get all the good taste in her life? Will she pretend saying that she has a beautiful life.

Let us compare to another story. Someone lives in a small town, far from big cities. She has to work to fulfill her life, earning money from teaching. She does not have a husband she lives with her family. Some people feel pity on her. They thought that she does not have much money and there is only a little money in her saving. She owns money and soon she has to spend it for her living. She believes that God never gives His creature a duty the extent of its ability. She finds that God always helps her. Every time she needs money, there is always a job for her to do. In addition, she can get the money.
Is she happy? The one with little saving, who needs to do some jobs to fulfill her life. Something in her mind said “I am happy with my life, and God shows me how to pride Him, how to ask Him a favor because those are the most important things.”
She believes that taste is just a temporary thing, it is not eternal, and it will fade. Like the body of a human, it will be fade. The eternal soul will leave it and it will be fade. Therefore, those are not the most important things. Wearing proper clothes, eating nutritious food, she supports her body. The soul needs the body to life. She understands what the purpose of this life is. She feels free in her mind, although people judge her anything relates to her prosperity, to her jobs, to her life. She does not care about it, what she care is if she can free her mind, so she will be happy. And she said she has a beautiful life.

Everyone may mention that he or she has a beautiful life. However, ourselves alone who can decide whether our life is beautiful or not. Whether what we want in this journey has been fulfilled or not, we can ask ourselves about it. beautiful life does not always refers to how many materials that we have. Beautiful life refers to what we feel about our life. once we feel we have a beautiful life, we will have a healthy life. We will feel free doing anything, or jobs. We will do our jobs willingly, without having feeling that a job is a burden. And we will enjoy doing our job.
The point is how to get a feeling that we have a beautiful life. Opening our mind, enriching our knowledge and always thank to God are things we can do so we can have such feeling. Reading books about psychology is also helpful for enriching our knowledge, besides we have also appreciate anything. By appreciating anything, we will see kindness and we will feel happy and enjoy this life.
