I am doing thing for their better life (27 June, 2024)

in STEEM FOR BETTERLIFE5 months ago (edited)

Okay, it is what comfort and a better life mean to me, it is how I live my life after a long time away and work hard to pursue a happy life, but eventually, I realize what I need to do for happiness

I want to create happy smiles on their faces. Happiness on the faces of the people I love, and you, yes you who are reading this are also included.

My daily life is simple, because I want to be as simple as possible, even if I could afford to be a little luxurious I would also choose to keep it simple.

Aira told me that she is now able to ride a bike faster than the wind blows. LoL (we jocking about cycling)

I once heard that there are two typical people in this world; The first are those who were born at the top of the world, full of luxury and super facilities, top notch. However, they chose to keep a low profile and live simply, because they were tired and bored with the luxury they had since birth, but this type of people is really rare, perhaps only 1 in a million exist in the world. A second type is a person who was born simple and continues to struggle as much as possible, but the results are still modest are unable to make improvements in their life, and finally have to live their life in a mediocre and enjoy it.

This second group will do anything to reach the top of the world but still have to be satisfied with living a simple life, or with little achievement from a lifetime of hard work. Working hard even ignoring the happiness that they should be able to enjoy during the process of their achievements.

Me?, it seems like I don't belong to these two groups, I feel surprised with myself because there is something wrong with me. What's wrong? OK, my assumption is this; I no longer have the ambition to live a luxurious life. This means that I don't do anything to achieve a life of luxury and convenience. However, I prefer to look for simple peace and happiness. One of them is what I did today;

"Serve lunch for the children while letting them enjoy some relaxing time in the afternoon before they get busy again with afternoon lessons. Except for Fatiya and Khudaija, all of his older brothers and sisters had to attend afternoon learning classes. This is not forced learning, but because this is the golden age for the basis of their future education. For me, education is not only to be able to obtain material things but also to be able to live a better and nobler life later."

"The children talk to me and tell me everything they encounter as much as they like and play happily while I take care of their needs because time for them is important to me. After lunch, while playing games, they continued cycling and Fatiya always followed me wherever I went".

I remembered my father's message before he passed away that they only left me a ring; "I don't have anything to leave to you, but I leave knowledge as capital for you to live a better life in the future because the most difficult thing to find in this world is knowledge, so I leave knowledge for you, with this capital, live happily "

"I bathed Fatiya and played in the house while reading stories to her while learning to recognize letters and numbers. Fatiya has the ability to translate acting well in addition to the ability to count which can also be understood well."

Towards the afternoon, I was about to go to the office (coffee shop) but Fatiya refused to take a nap because my wife needed more rest, I decided to take her to relax outside while I met with several colleagues to discuss work matters. I work to fulfill the dream of my family.

When we arrived at the coffee shop, I opened my laptop and intended to download some of the cartoons that Fatiya liked. Fatiya doesn't mind if I sit at a separate table from her, my goal is to prevent Fatiya from some of my friends smoking and also give her time to enjoy cartoons without being disturbed while enjoying snacks at the coffee shop.

The comfort I feel when I am with my family is luxurious happiness. I can rarely spend time like this with Fatiya, so there's no problem for me to postpone what I have to do for a moment and let her use the laptop and watch her favorite cartoon.

My biggest desire is to create lots of moments together with my family so that one day they will have something to remember me by. Because I know my time is limited and it is impossible to accompany them forever.

When I have enough ability, I would also build a simple house for them to shelter in, so that later they could designate an address that is something they own. Because all this time we lived together at our mother's house. I have saved money for this, and I hope to be able to realize their wish as soon as possible. Because the need for comfort is also necessary for them. It doesn't need to be fancy, but at least they have a place to stay. This is indeed a material need, but for me, this is the main thing for them. Right now, this is my main focus in collecting capital so I can build a simple house for them.

The point is to provide happiness for them in various simple forms. It's not luxurious but useful for them, it also opens up a life that is convenient, simple, and comfortable.

For example, giving Fatiya a happy smile with several ducklings who can accompany her to play with, learn to care, and be responsible. Because I am sure that an upbringing pattern like that will have a positive impact on one's life in the future. For me, seeing them happy and having a BETTER LIFE is incomparable happiness. This has been my biggest wish for a long time and I am slowly making it come true while continuing to enjoy what is available and creating beautiful moments with my family. How about you @irawandedy, @firyfaiz, @yuliadi, would you like to tell us a bit of your thought here??

Thank you for reading

Comfort to me is not more than feeling good. Good in my body, wherever I am. It's more a feeling than a list of items I should buy.

Of course I don't like to sleep in the freeze cold. And yes, I like a hot chocolate, a waterbed and good company. I like a heater and a hot tub and a faucet in the kitchen. A washing machine gives comfort and a dryer might be but I can do without although a mosquito net would be great unless there's someone willing to play for bait.

There's nothing wrong with you and there are way more "groups" of people than you mentioned.
Some born with a golden spoon in their mouths rather escape, others reign with iron fist or simply live without thinking twice.
There are plenty living in poverty being satisfied. They don't feel the need to reach for the sky because they like life and take it as it is.

It's an art to be satisfied, thinking on a higher level, knowing when to stop, awareness of what makes on feel comfortable. Those who seek will never find the answer and will always be on the run. I also believe they spend their entire life in fear.

In between rich and poor is a wide area of different people.

If you lay your head, rest your body and your soul floats away and you have sweet dreams it's not important what your bed or blanket look like.
If we watch a film we remember the story not the screen we used to watch. Even those I watched in black and white are remembered in colour.

Comfort is brought by the small things in life that make one feel good.
Your father gave you the most precious gift one can receive. I hope you will always use it wisely and remember his words if you wear his ring.

It's not the material a gift is made of that makes it valuable but the intention and soul it is given with.

I hope you will achieve your dream to leave comfort behind for your family.

Thank you very much for your encouraging words, You know me better, and I told you most of the things in our own way of telling things. I would like to invite my friend @aneukpineung78 to participate in the contest, I know he is somewhere hiding and watching

Yes, I know you and also know you can do more with less. If you show you are happy your gamily will feel it too and follow in your footsteps.
By the way: it's allowed to say no. Teach your children how to handle with disappointments and denial as well in a positive way. They will need this is the future.

This is one of the most "true to self" writings I have ever read. I mean, not only on Steemit. Thanks for sharing.

About the contest, I just got the time to study it, and it looks like the time to enter it has passed. So I think I will try on another one.

A good contest that brings out "the color" of the writers from the side that for all these times might have been unspoken well. Thanks, @wakeupkitty.pal ..
