Dear Steemit friends and followers,
I would like to share another interesting quote with you today.
Source: keepinspiring.me, author: Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism and one of the greatest thinkers of all time
"Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have."
What do you think of this inspirational quote? We often hear how important it is to dream big and focus on achieving our goals but how about appreciation of things we already have? Do you agree that only those who can value what they have can be happy in life?
Let me know in the comments, I am looking forward to reading your opinions and stories :)
Have a wonderful day and Steem on!
Please feel free to check out some of my other recent posts.

Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have. It's really great and inspirational @czechglobalhoats.
Often, We have so much in our life to be happy about and thankful for, but we don't always see it. We can be tempted to focus on what we don't have and when that happens, we live unsatisfied, unhappy lives. We will find happiness when we take time to appreciate what we have already been given and most of us have been given a lot.
May your day be blessed in every way!

Absolutely you are right my friend @czechglobalhost...Happiness is something which you enjoy truly when you are well satisfied with the things you have and never wish or expect too much and try to be positive im every situation with a big smile on face...A true happy people always appreciate what they have and never wish for too much.

yes, Tomas I totally agree with you on this quote,
We should always thank God What he has given to us, If we keep doing it, he will give us more,
Never look towards the people who are rich, it will only demotivate you, always look down, to the poor, Then you'll Thank God what he has given to you.

I’m at a point in my life where peace of mind has become one of my highest priorities. I want to be at peace, and I want to get better and better at allowing things to follow their natural course, without desperately trying to force them into completion, because that would only create a lot of unnecessary stress, pain and suffering into my life, and I don’t want that.
There are things in life that require more time than others. Time to blossom, to develop, to grow, to mature… And if we don’t learn the art of patience, by allowing life to follow its natural course, chances are that we will continue to force and resist the natural flow of things, inflicting a lot of unnecessary pain onto ourselves and onto those around us.
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.
Thank you @czechglobalhosts

I totally agree with the quote. People complain they dont earn enough, dont have fancy home etc. Yet speak to the man who is homeless and unemployed. He is happy if you pass a kind word, give him a loaf of bread and in all probability will share his windfall with others in his situation.

Inspirational quotes are made to motivate people to achieve their dream or desire.A push to never give up.
It all depends on what the person do have and what the persons dream is. I do appreciate what i do have but yet I wish to travel far away to Europe to find my true happiness. That is my desire
I don't agree with the last question. You can still be happy without having something or have something and wanting more or something else.
True happiness comes to those who lives fulfilled dreams

The quote by Gautam Buddha aka Siddhartha Gautam is very inspirational and motivational. If we fail to seek happiness from what is already there with us and try to find happiness in things that are beyond our limit, it is very unlikely that we would be ever successful in finding it. We should be grateful to people who are with us and try to find happiness by only being with them. But if we constantly live with the expectation of finding something better, we risk losing the ones we already have and would end up being alone.

Good and true sentence! Modern world, mass media, movies...all of it tells us about dreaming of something unreachable, this way of thinking, this model of life makes people to be the slaves of their own dreams, most of them are connected to money, to make the dreams come true, You HAVE to aquire money, more and more of them, this is making of people perfect workers, perfect toys of modern system, dummies of financial, capitalistic machine...
I can see this really clear here in Norway, where people have everything, from Tesla cars to big houses (yes,not one..) but still they chase the surrealistic dreams, of having the newest modedel of iphone, car, house in Thailand, they believe that all of these thing will make them happier or even maybe better than others...
It is happening all over the world. We should learn how to be happy with what we have, how to give others even if we dont have much, hov to share positive energy every day. Buddism is all about this, all about giving, not having or desiring... Thanks for this thought on todays evening. Good day to You!

I had my Bachelor of Electrical Engineering some years ago and since then I have been applying to MIT as an international student for a Masters degree program, unfortunately I have always been rejected, this made me very unhappy with myself, I thought maybe I wasn’t good enough, I blamed the 3rd world country I was born in, i blamed my parents for not having enough to give me a better and more quality education, I blamed virtually everything around me. Until I had an encounter that changed my mentality. I volunteered for an outreach program in a rural community, where I was opportuned to converse at length with some youths in the community, to my greatest surprise in this 21st century majority of them have never seen the four walls of a classroom, not that they don’t want to go to school, the opportunity never presented itself , then I realized how much of an ingrate I was, I have always compared myself with my friends who possess Phd degrees owing to the fact that they left my country when we were in high school, and here are some folks who can’t even read or write A-Z. Then I learnt my lesson to be grateful for the little I have achieved and be hopeful for greater things ahead.
Finally, some of the people we compare ourselves with are just living a make believe or fake lives, one wouldn’t know until you get close to them.
We should learn how to be grateful if not for anything at all but for the gift of life, that alone is enough reason to be appreciative.
@czechglobalhosts, Thanks for giving me an avenue to share this.

This is so true. The happiest people I have ever met in my life were in Africa and had almost no possessions. But they appreciated every day they were alive and appreciated everything that they did have. This was something that everyone could learn from.

HI! I think that people who can't appreciate that simple things which they have will strive to have more and more, but in my country we saying betterbluebird in your hand than a crane in the sky.
And one more sometimes you can meet on your life way somebody that who will will be ready to go to anything in order to reach the goal and he certainly will not think and appreciate what he has, but will want more and more

I have a myth of life; God shall give you more, if you are grateful at any situation of life. So, this is the core logic to meet the happiness in the life. It is quite necessary to be thankful what we have and do not try to boost your money if you have been blessed with it.

It is a fact, history has taught us that those who have had everything are very difficult, but not impossible, to give value to everything that was given to them. A person who has believed in humility (not necessarily in poverty) will really appreciate what little he has achieved and achieved. I remember a biblical quote that says:
Something like that. It is not exactly the point but there is similarity as a reference.

We realy need to appreciate what we have this is what wilk tack us to the next level.
People only think of what they are missing not knowing that what 5hey have is great. Untile what they have is tacken away that is when they know that what they hard was good.
For example if someone you love died and you necer kissed them when they wr around. You love what you have some that you can get more. Thanks @czechglobalhosts

Well, I agree with this. We go through our lives on such as routine basis that sometimes we forget to appreciate what we have. Or is it that we have become "numbed" by it all. We should never take for granted for what we have because if we were to ever lose it, we'd be kicking our own butts for it later on. I'd say we should at least stop once a day to be thankful. This could come in many forms; praying to the Lord, meditating, doing Tai Chi, or just coming closer to the "inner" being. But, yes. I definitely agree.

It is also more difficult in recent times with all the social networks, where people constantly compare what they have, to what they see in social networks, where there is abundance of other people's happiness, and best moments. Because people normally don't share the bad moments. This creates a false impression that everything should be so good.
It is more important than ever to really appreciate what we all have. Thank you for the reminder :)

This quote for me is a work-in-progress, a hard one, because most of the time the mind tends to be somewhere in the future or clinging to the past, and I believe that's what creates unhappiness. So, I have to make an effort, every day, to sit still or close my eyes for a quick or sometimes long moment to remind myself that life is happening right here, right now, and that all is great! When I lived in S. Korea, all I would think about was my life in the US, then when I moved to Singapore, all I would talk about was how great it was in S.Korea. Now that I am in Italy, I catch myself again dreaming about Singapore and getting irritated at how things are here...based on this pattern, it looks like when I leave Italy, I will be dreaming about my life here, so I'd better start to love every single moment that is left...ha! it's hard to be aware at all times how lucky and priviledged we are to be alive, healthy and able to move and travel. So a little daily reminder is necessary to stay humble, appreciate, love and treasure everything we have and everybody we love!

For a failing person does not get happiness that he can only sadness in trying anything. We as human beings can think well and do not forget the same god. For people failing to try is vigorous and focus what will be at work do remember the wheel is spinning maybe today we do not get right kebaghagian maybe tomorrow or the day after we get that happiness. Trying is what we work do not ever give up if we still get to failure not happiness even though we already get our happiness to keep something work with focus. God's infinite justice.
