I think my life is good not because I have lots but because I appreciate lots- how could life be bad if I constantly and consciously focus on the good things in it?
Of course there are bad things as well, which requires diligence to change / remove them.
Truth in untruth. I believe that the mentality plays a huge roll and I also made the experience that the needs play a big role too. When the needs are not fullfilled it is hard to be happy even with a good mentality. Imagine the picture of an african kid that fights for survival. I believe it is the combination of fullfilling the needs by doing and also by changing the mentality. I tried to be happy when I nearly lost my apartment and the spiritual people adviced me just to let go everything. To be honest that shit didn´t work out. But what helped me is to get stability. Masculine energy saved me. Ressources matters, haha.
