Happy People Produce

The happy people are those who are producing something; the bored people are those who are consuming much and producing nothing.
- - William Ralph Inge

How true! We need to make something happen! Be productive! It is not because of boredom that people are not productive, but rather they are bored because they do not produce. Keep striving! You will eventually succeed.

I disagree. LOL Unhappy people to produce - - - criticism, negative trash talk, hate, discord, etc. But they are miserable souls. I choose to be happy and refuse to sit on the sidelines.

Brian and Jana, good points from both of you. It's not enough to produce, you must produce the right thing.

See, that's why I like Jana. She's happy and creative but doesn't feel the need to agree with everything. I never thought too much about "sassy" until I "met" Jana. But I like sassy. It's constructive criticism that keeps folks on their toes. I, too, choose happiness. Life is too short to be down in the mouth.

And as far as creativity goes, people are supposed to be creative. Paint a pot, sing a song, dance. Create, from the joy overflowing.

Great point Bro. Allard, and I repeat myself, great point.

I agree. We must be productive. That's the only way to be content - and the only thing that will bring true happiness.

Brian Allard said...

Jana--those are not things of production but rather destruction!

Mark-thanks for stopping by.

Helen--That is one of many reasons why I like Jana LOL!

Mervi-Thanks!

Sis. Hopper- True happiness is brought about by doing the right things right!

Jana Allard said...

LOL Hey, we could have a good debate on this one. Produce destruction. That's a great oxymoron! LOL

Brian Allard said...

NO JANA--don't go there! You know I would win!!!

DeadMule said...

Produce destruction! WOW. Can I be in charge of destroying iceberg lettuce? The leaf kind is so much better. :-)

You know, I just love it when you, pastor, and Sis Allard, and Helen all get together and have a discussion. I just sit back and listen to all of your views. Great Points! But all this talk about Produce is making me hungry. I think I'm gonna go grab a salad. :D
