Happiness

Money is not everything

When I resigned from my work as an accountant and accepted the position of a secretary in an investment company, the first question asked is how much am I given by the company that I accepted a position "lower" than my previous one.

To tell you frankly, not much. Its is only SAR 100 higher than as an accountant. But I decided to accept the position because I feel it is my fate or qadar because it came on a time that I asked Allah (SWT) to give me a new job.

I was not happy on my previous job not because that I didnt like the work. But I didnt like the way they are treating the Filipinos. But I realized that in Saudi Arabia or in any other country, there will always be discrimination. Even if you have the same faith or religion, discrimination and unfair treatments will always be there.

But my principle is this, if I am not happy, I will let go. I will go and search the one who will make me at peace with my self. Because life is so short, life should be lived to its fullest, to our satisfaction, to our contentment. But no amount of money or material things will ever make me happy.

To be with my family, my friends, my pets, and my dreams will make me say:I am really happy.
