Reflextion of values

When coming home after my visit to Cebu, - I really miss the place.. The people there are so much more alive than here in Norway!

They don't have a lot of money or other material accessories, - but they have the biggest smiles on earth!! Why is that?? I can't stop thinking that they know something we don't... ;-)

What makes people are what they think about, - their worries or their dreams for the future.. If I look at the last year of my life, and what has been going on in my mind, - maybe I will find some answers?.. :-)

Much of the time I think about what to buy next, or what I want to achieve in some way or another.. Or maybe I think about something I already bought which is not working as it should or needs to be upgraded.. I will use some time to think about how I fit in among other people. Do I have what they have, am I wearing clothes that fit in, is my car good enough?...

My thinking is what makes me.. What if I take this time of concerning and figuring out how to grow even more, - and use it for something else? Like just enjoying the wonders of nature, or watching my children grow.. How would this effect my life? Maybe I would also smile some more? ;-)
