Always be Happy

We always hear this phrase that "Life is a bitch"

But I believe its people that make a bitch out of life

Through clamor, backbiting, jealousy, greed and negative vices

Yet one way or the other we expect someone to be our source of happiness

Know this

At any given time, people have their own issues, challenges, trials and temptations

And everyone reacts to the above differently based on orientation, training and beliefs

While one is carefree about his issues, another gets depressed by them

How then do you expect one who is depressed by his own issues

To give be your source of happiness?

This is so unrealistic!

It doesn’t matter if the person is the love of your life

Your family, acquaintance, colleague, friend or foe

Everyone have their down times

Therefore, if you depend on others to make you happy

You will spend most of your life being unhappy

Cos human beings are wired to be inconsistent

The key to being happy always is to look within

Irrespective of what's happening around you

If you can find peace within your soul

Then you can gladly sing "It is well with my soul"

Everything in life is all about perspective

What you focus on, brood over and

allow to dominate your thought affects your emotion

where one sees job loss as the end of the world

another sees it as an opportunity to explore new grounds

a dear friend lost her bank job, today she is involved in a venture

which will definitely grow to make her an employer of labor

in fact, I have never seen her being so passionate and determined

like she is about this venture and I am so proud of her

Life throws you challenges and trials

Some by design, others due to erroneous choices

But within whatever challenge you are faced with

Lies the seed for your greatness and uplifting

Its all dependent on your view, mindset and belief

No doctor will tell you that you are of sound health when you visit the hospital

No pastor, imam or herbalist will tell you that no one is after you

But if you have the right perspective and attitude to life

Your altitude becomes limitless

Whatever the situation your are faced with

Did your friends betray you, 

see it as an opportunity to know their true self

Thereby, saving you from future hurt

Did your spouse fail you, it brings to your realization the infallibility of man

Did your family abandon you, sometimes even 

the viscosity of blood is less than that of water

Does all men fail you, 

its an opportunity for you to trust God completely

Your issues might seem so overwhelming but

Believe me, 

there is someone who wish they were in your shoes

Even if life has beaten you to the ground

Get up, dust yourself and forge ahead and

No matter the situation you are faced with

Your life will be better it you choose to

Always be Happy……
