Published on Leave a comment on Treasures In Contentment – A Different Perspective

By Janet Vargas Owner of this Website

"Let's live in Contentment - Happiness is more tangible that way, not so far from our grasp" (JV)  I will share some good insights with you. Would you care to join me?
Contentment is a good thing, it is not dependent on circumstances for our peace of mind. Can you see the beauty of that? Maybe you will after reading this post.
A family member said these words to me today: "I am going to enjoy what I have in life.....I am going to be content with the things that I have and not bother with the things I don't have. I will make the most of everything I have that is good.....it makes me contented and happy. If we want to be happy, we need to stop and think about what we have. Obviously, you have them because you liked them at some stage.I'm going to enjoy them now!"

I can give a hearty "YES" to that because her words (above) are SO TRUE! Happiness is not in endless possessions, the latest car and furniture or that something big you are waiting to happen - whatever that may be - Happiness is within your grasp once you see and find the Value of Contentment.…

Published on Leave a comment on How we See Ourselves is So Important – It Can Give You A Better Outlook On Life

I will share with you a Life Principle.
The way we look at ourselves is important and has a lot to do with how we experience life. Yes, the way we look inward has to do with our outlook on life.
We all have self-talk, an inner chatter. A dialogue as it were.

Take A Breather - Be Kind To Yourself Each Day

Make sure your dialogue is kind and give it some guidelines on a daily basis until it becomes your friend - bringing to mind positive thoughts, cheerful thoughts and loving thoughts. Yes, feed yourselves this type of thinking until it becomes natural.

Because our inner chatter is somewhat negative for most and unruly for some, with content that is disturbing and sometimes troublesome if not kept in check. Yes, you can monitor this self talk and tell it what to say, so to speak. You can decide the things you would like to hear. 

Our God given Power of Choice is a wonderful thing. We can choose what we want in life_ company, past-time and interests, food and cuisine, TV programs and websites etc and we can determine what type of thoughts we like to think, so we can see ourselves and life around us differently. …

We're proud of our country here Down Under with sunny riverbanks etc Let's be more patriotic like some other countries are hey? Founding days, mostly as convicts are way past now and there is so much to be proud of. We need to Celebrate our Country AUSTRALIA. There were wonderful declarations made over our shores when we discovered this Great Land.

There will be some posts on things we can change in our country towards some real progress with certain things that have been overlooked or not dealt with.

Through changes over time, we're not subordinates now (subdued, dominated and defeated) we are a people with dignity and we need to Speak Up more often when things are not good for us, like Chemical laden food and agriculture etc. not to mention our Water Supply!

For several decades now, we have let Politicians play amuck at Voting Times, breaking Election promises all too often and as long as I remember, it has been Labour or Liberal....Liberal or Labour with our Preferential System for Votes. Now, since we have a way out of that, through changes made just prior to our last national vote at the Federal Elections in May 2019 we need to fully realise what power is in our hands with future Votes.…

We all need to strengthen Family Bonds and relationships in a day and age that has it's challenges - essentially we are as strong as our Families and Friendships are and spiritually too. Speaking for myself, relating closely with our Creator and Jesus our Saviour, wins over religious duties and "church attendance"........

Family Bonding Together Is Really Good - Do This Often

I may share a little about that in other posts but do not wish to impose agendas on you. I have found many visitors to my Poem Website HERE like to view pages like those which are totally separate (they have many views and people have commented to me afterwards offline, saying they enjoy them). One person without any religious background said they "see things so much clearer"......

I have been asked if I will write more and I did not set out to do that.

HOME SCENE - SOME INSIGHTS

In this world we live in, so much is out to separate family members, since about 30+ years ago and to depersonalise relationships, with so much 'Tech This and Tech That' everything Tech.......Social…
