2008 was a year filled with rollercoaster of emotions and happenings which makes it incredibly difficult to forget for the rest of my life. As much as the not-so-good has happened, so have the very-good-things. Well, for all that have happened, I believed it was for the better.
Things may not turn out the way we want it sometimes and when that happens, we sigh, fret and keep complaining how come things are always going against us. What we (including me) fail to see is the good that came out of it. The way we react to situations, how relationships grow stronger or how better life has been. Our individual wants may be beneficial or be of satisfaction to ourselves but there are times when what we do will affect others around us in a negative manner. What's good to one may be bad to another. Sacrifices may have to be made in order to not affect others.
Which brings me to the nexy question: Is personal satisfaction achieved from making and seeing others happy OR when we ourselves feel happy with what we have done or accomplished, sometimes at the expense of others??
