Really don't need much

Come to think of it, I really don't need much to be happy.

I really don't need a Rolex as I have a reliable waterproof watch I had since 1996.

I really don't need a big SUV as my present car(s) get(s) me where I want to be for a fraction of the fuel.

I really don't need a big computer with big specs. Olivia is beefy enough as it is. I really don't need one with beefy specs in the first place. All I need is a computer I can type and surf the net in.

I really don't need a big office as I get a lot of work done from my small bedroom. Plus, I don't have to deal with at least an hour's commute.

I really don't need flashy clothes because I believe it's what is inside the lawyer that matters most and not his outside appearance.

I really don't need big clients because I really don't have big needs and hence I really don't have to earn big money.

Big money will not buy me big happiness. Big peace of mind will.

I have to be grateful for what I have and just attract what matters most. And that is not a big office, big clients or big money.

A big life attracts big grief, that's what I want to say. And I don't think I have the heart for this rat (and snake) race.

So let me attract my small piece of happiness by getting back to basics and what is only essential.

And I'll start as soon as I get recover from what ails me.

So for now, I'll rest.

Disaster relief, sustainable development & community service

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
