An old man lived in the village. He was one of the most unfortunate people in the world. The whole village was tired of him; he was always gloomy, he constantly complained and was

never satisfied with anything. The villagers avoided him, fearing his negativity would rub off on them. But one day, the old man’s demeanor changed. He was seen smiling and chatting with the villagers, his eyes twinkling with newfound joy.

Curious, the villagers approached him, eager to understand what had caused such a remarkable transformation. To their surprise, the old man revealed that he had discovered the secret to happiness.

“I have decided to change my outlook on life,” he announced, his voice filled with conviction. “Instead of focusing on what I lack, I am going to appreciate the blessings that surround me every day.”

The villagers listened intently as the old man shared his newfound wisdom. He explained how he had spent years dwelling on the negative aspects of his life, allowing bitterness and resentment to consume him. But one day, he had a revelation: happiness wasn’t about having everything you wanted, but rather appreciating everything you already had.
