It's convenient and easy to seek higher power to help us; but unless we start changing ourselves...
"GOD help those who help themselves"
I saw these couple of years back that Confucious mentioned this more than 2000 years ago, but more recently, chance upon something similiar by a German philosopher, Johann Wolfgang Goethe.
‘Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.’
So much for seeking fortune tellers and getting 'good luck' charms. With 7 billion homosapiens on this planet currently, even our 'GOD' is over-worked? or rather, we have to take a queue number, dun we?
if we find our lives going up and down like a yo-yo, and just resign it to FATE/LIFE; maybe we might want to contemplate the following
Why are we unhappy/dissatisfied?
What are the cause of this?
How can we get out of this?
So far, the teachings of the 4 noble truths seems to work for me.
