Misery is almost always the result of thinking too much

Our Guest post today is from Dr. Randy Bungga:

I’m sure who said the above, but it’s a lesson many of us have learned in dealing with the Filipinos. Some would say is a miserable country, fully of poverty, corruption, and misery But ask any Filipina what their secret to happiness is – and the answer, 11 times out of 13 will be – I don’t think so much!

And what dear reader – are you thinking about right now? Why yourself probably! Stop it .. Lose the ego !! it’s not about you! And stop listening to pop music. As Rob Gordon so well put it in High Fidelity: What came first, the music or the misery? So turn off that silly ipod, turn off the TV, and think about the Top 5 things you can do this week to help someone else.

The mind is the master over every kind of fortune… being the cause of its own happiness and misery. Seneca
