Create your
own happiness! You cannot rely on people to make you happy when only yourself
knows the kind of happiness you want. We waste too much of our precious time
trying to fit in with wrong crowds just to be happy.
If it’s not
that, we go all out to make other people happy, hoping buying their happiness
will make us feel better but nope, it doesn’t while in fact it shows what
length desperation can make us go just to be happy.
Other people
even impress their boyfriends and girlfriends in search of happiness thinking
that will free them from the chains of sadness and be accepted by those they are trying to impress but that in turn does more harm than its intended purpose.
Why can’t we
see that only we can create our own happiness? If we don’t no one else will.
Create your own happiness wherever you are and don’t wait for people to do that
for you because that comes at a price if you allow them.
Who said you
can’t be happy on your own and need people to be? Life is too short, you need
to be happy.
Appreciate the little you have: Appreciate the little you have and
be content with your life. Don’t try too hard to impress people but let what
you have satisfy you. Asking for help sometimes can invite enemies in your life.
The little you have can bring happiness if you are content with what you have.
Mind your own business: What other people does or say doesn’t
concern you at all. Forget about them and focus on your own life and how you
can reach your dreams. Being in other people’s life and affairs can derail your
own life resulting in you being caught in unnecessary drama. Learn to keep your
mouth shut and also learn to say no. Saying no can save you. Minding your own
business can bring happiness as you won’t be caught in other people’s drama.
Money:
No matter the little you have, use it to be happy, go on a tour, cruise
or throw a party. Take a tour and see the beauty of our country. You don’t need
billions to be happy, it’s not how much you have that counts, but what you do
with what you have.
Save a
little every month and after saving enough, do what you have always wanted with
your money. You work hard for your money, let it bring you happiness! Reward
the body that works hard for it.
The Bible: The Word of God will give you peace
and strength. Read it whenever you are feeling down. It will rejuvenate your
spirit.
Music: Music can heal and soothe a broken
heart. Playing your favourite song can ease or remove stress. It can change
your emotions and comfort you when you are down. So go ahead and play music and
see how it can change your life, when you are sad play a song that will heal
you. In your car sing along to the words
of the song as by so doing you can relieve tension and stress.
Family: Spend time with your family. Cook a
good meal, invite them over and reminisce about the good old days while growing
up. They can make you laugh and help you bond with your family.
Negativity: Bad company corrupts good character.
Stay away from negative people, they will hold you back. Surround yourself with
“like-minded people”, people who have same ambition and dreams as you. A Lion
walks with Lions and not with cows.
Create your
own happiness.
