The Secret Ingredient

Happiness lies in you not in your partner, friend or peer. Self-identification will also be dependent on you and not anyone around u…all they can do is help you discover things about you that you did not consider important or rather you overlooked. Self-esteem is also important for every one of us but again, only YOU can make others rate you as important and worthy.

 

Why all this?

Because there is so much inside of us that is never realized or brought out, out of fear of whatever kind. You probably don’t want to lose someone, so you don’t want to reach your full potential or show your real you. Alternatively, you simply are afraid of thinking big and getting off your comfort zone.

Happiness is not just a feeling of pleasure, but emotional satisfaction and contentment as well. Of course too much of everything is poisonous they say, but none ever complained they were sick for being too much happy. Neither has it been recorded of any ill for being too much happy. Either way, just a few in our world today have found joy and happiness in its most basic bits. The majority do not even talk about the vocabulary itself because it’s out of their league. Their day-to-day running is so full of strain that a little peace and pleasure is leisure to them.

 

Is that how things ought to be? Why are people not happy as God intended? In my view, its greed, un trustworthiness, obsession to our possessions and power, jealousy and insecurity.

Have you been at a point where every phone call your partner picks pricks you to go through it and find out who called or what the conversation was all about?

Have you found yourself wondering why he keeps coming late each night giving one excuse after the other?

Have you asked yourself how comes she is always at her girlfriend’s place? What could they be discussing?

Have you even stopped to think why he never seems to be interested in you with all the advances you’ve made on him?

All this is a catalyst of chaos, unhappiness for it causes us to be unsatisfied, and dis contented. So, what’s the secret ingredient? you may be asking…

Live your life- strive for full potential even if it means getting out of your comfort zone

Trust your heart/mind – to what you wish to pursue. Do not wait for anyone’s approval for it may not be forthcoming

Believe in your partner- do not follow them up every now and then as though they were kids with no brain of their own and self-will

Communicate -do not assume its common sense

 

Stop over worrying – live a day at a time, everyday has its enough worries for you to add on more.

Be contented with what you have, it will save you from coveting that of your neighbor.

Finally, smile – even in fiery situations, happiness will follow you wherever you will be.

Amidst all world pandemics, Covid 19 inclusive, we can still pursue happiness as unto a child, because that is God’s ultimate wish for us all. Let’s not panic, for we shall overcome. So, DON’T WORRY over anything BE HAPPY
