Keeping in tune with the theme of nature, I remember trekking in Peru, South America in the year 2005, I was fundraising for a well-known Irish Charity.
Being in Peru opened my eyes, to the stunning landscapes. At one stage whilst trekking at about 4,500 metres, it looked as though I could throw a stone and hit a glacier just right in front of my eyes. It was a magnificent sight.
More amazing were the Peruvian people, with big broad smiles, pleasant demeanour, welcoming. To see farmers at 4,000 metres running with ease after Llama: I was just in awe. I thought their hearts must be enormous to be able to run at such an altitude where the oxygen level is so thin.
I remember the party I was with about 28 people, we visited a school there in the wilderness. Happy smiley faces.
Overall, what I noticed was that the people had the outward sign of being happy, their happiness didn't come from material possessions. They just didn't know wealth as the western world knows.
I believe their outward happiness was a true reflection of their inner happiness. Being content about their lot. I state all of what I'm writing with respect and honour for the people of Peru.
What we don't have we don't miss. That probably sounds blase. That's not my intention.
We make the best of what we have available to us in the context, in the place we find ourselves.
What makes you happy? Is it possessions? Money? Loving relationships? Success or whatever success means to you? Belief in God?
What do you need to do?
Be Powerful.
