There is ALWAYS A REASON...

Hello everyone, it is a happy day today, so, Happy New Year, Happy New Month, Happy New Week, Happy Last Day of February, Happy New Day, Happy Birthday, Happy First Breakup, Happy 100th Day Anniversary, Happy Married Life, Happy One Year Remembrance, Happy Divorce, Happy Naming Ceremony, Happy House Warming, Happy, Happy and Happy Happiness to you.
No matter what we are going through at the moment, there is always a reason to be happy. The problem is that most people need others or material things before they are happy. People sometimes forget that what they are and what they own is a description of all what another person needs in life to be truly happy. There is and will always be a bright side to every situation, it is just that people focus too long on the negative part that they fail to appreciate the positive part. “Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be” by Abraham Lincoln further buttresses the point. It also shows that the mindset of a person is a major factor to ones happiness.
To be happy is easy, all it requires is the right mindset and the willingness to be happy no matter what difficulty or challenges life places in our path. If we remember that these challenges are there to teach us a lesson needed for the next phase of our lives, then we will learn to be happy because the next phase signifies growth in a person's life. If for some reason, we believe that there is no reason to be happy, let us learn to create reasons to be happy. The reasons could be unreasonable or ridiculous to others, but as long as it makes you truly happy, ignore all the negativity.
Your reason for being happy could be as reasonable as the fact that you are alive, you are healthy, you have clothes to wear, you have food to eat, among others. Other reasons, which could be termed as ridiculous to others could include the fact that the sky is blue, the weather is nice, the sun is shining so bright as if it is blushing, the cat on the street is so cute and adorable, your dog just winked at you, you have beautiful eyes or your fingernails are really pretty. If you believe there is no reason, it is your job to look for, create and find a reason to be happy.
Tom Bodett said, “They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.” These three things are necessary and if adhered to, you will always be happy. Following the words of Tom Bodett, always remember:
1. Someone to love: YOU
2. Something to do: MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY ALWAYS
3. Something to hope for: YOUR TRUE HAPPINESS.

Qudos to the D...

A big shout out, and thank you to the Ds out there, who have what it takes, know how to use it; and have good character to back what they have. Different types of Ds exist, apart from the size, colour, height, age and so on; I group the Ds into three (4) groups, which are: M, R, PD, and the N group. To the M group (aka Messi group), they are naturally gifted, and we thank them very much for that. They are Ds who use what they have very well and are natural at using it to give utmost pleasure or satisfaction. To the R group (aka Ronaldo group), who train very hard and become great at it, thank you very much. Your dedication and consistency are appreciated. To the PD group (Plain Ducks group), who are not naturally good or own as much skillset as the R group, thank you very much for using what you have to help us.  I have met different Ds in my life, some have been good, some bad, thinking about the bad ones is making me angry. To the good ones out there, thank you for be...

Till We Meet Again...

I lost a dear friend today, and it hurts too much. When you lose someone, no matter how good or bad your relationship was with the person, there is this feeling of loss, whether you want to accept it or not. The feeling is more intense when you have to witness life gradually drain out slowly from that person. It hurts like a bitch when an energetic person filled with life, love and laughter is drained of all that goodness slowly and painfully.  It is annoying because you keep remembering how vibrant the person was, as against their present state. It is frustrating when you know there is nothing you can do about it. You feel useless when all your resources don't help the person, and you have to rely on fate and life to decide whether the person lives or dies. Life, the determinant of the person's fate, has a funny, unexpected, unwanted way of surprising us; especially when the surprise is not funny. Life is indeed unkind and unfair at times. Hoping for your loved one...

I AM SO MUCH MORE...

Do you know what it feels like going through life and not knowing that you are so much more than you know? Well, I just realized it. A few minutes ago, a song triggered all my emotions, because it made me realize that I have been hiding in a shell all my life. It brought to my attention that I am running out of time, that I am perfect, and that I am very insecure. It is crazy that I have been crying for hours because I just realized I have been short-changing myself in everything, be it my school work, grades, relationships, or even within my family. The craziest part is that I did it to myself.  It is even more unbelievable because, despite the thousand cheerleaders that surround me, I was lacking the greatest cheerleader a person could ever need, and that's myself. I have never really been my cheerleader, and it just dawned on me. The level of damage I have done is a lot, and I have to clean my mess before it is too late. This is too much to believe, but I am thankful...
