Blessed

My ex classmates are a group of successful people....in terms of career and educational backgrounds. I've got in touch with them only recently where we got to link to one another thru online facility. I have seen them a couple of times for lunches and dinners.

Initially, I felt that I wasn't really belonged in this social circle and my feelings of not belonging were strong. Many of these friends come from generations of money. Most of them are successful in their respective fields. I can't help but feel ashamed about my level of education. Even though, my friends never compare our backgrounds but I was still feeling left out.
They all have great educations and have had fond memories of university be it locally or abroad. Most of them are over-achievers and really have their acts together. Most of them have bachelor's degrees, masters and are in a good income bracket.

Yes, I admit that I did have insecurities and some low self esteem.

But I no longer have that kind of feelings now. I won't refrain from socializing with them as I do have a lot of fun with them and they are very nice and I do believe they like me. Although, we are different in terms of educational backgrounds but we could get along pretty well. We have similar wave length and chemistry.

Well....I am proud of my job. Noble job. As a matter of fact, I'm nurturing the future generations. And I'll be getting my degree soon and perhaps a master in the near future...(haha). Therefore, I shouldn't have looked down on my ability as well as capability.


Quote.."Material possessions don't bring happiness".
Oh, well.... there is quite a lot of evidence indicating that, sure enough, money doesn't buy happiness -- or at least the rich are happier than you and I but not very much so.

I quote this..
Some researchers said, "when one is carefully control for other things, more money actually does not make people a bit happier". Being married is far more important than being rich; having a job is much more important than how much the job pays.

Now..I feel blessed that I have a loving son, caring family, decent job which provide me with comfortable living and most importantly a healthy body.

What else could I ask more..?
