Due to the fact life itself is full of ups and downs, which apparently make things doesn't get as rosy or move the way we had planed it out for ourselves. when such happens our mood changes and then we call it mood swings, But then as I advanced in life and learned all the lessons it has taught me I realized that a person decides his own her own happiness whether in bad or good times. No matter the situation at hand there is always that special way we can carve out a space to be happy though it seems impossible or probably a bit difficult but then it is achievable. 😄
Few years back, I was faced with some challenges which did brought me down a lot but when I think about it now i just thank God for seeing me all through cause left for my natural self I won't have recovered from the whole stuff. First it all started after I wrote my senior secondary school examination (WAEC). After paying quite a sum of money, result came out after attaining two As, three Bs, three Cs and then unfortunately a D7 from my most important subject of all. while I guess without mentioning the subject we already know which am taking about 🤷 It could be mathematics or English language? But let me know in the comment section which subject you think it is?
So back to what I was saying earlier, after the result came out, I felt God didn't love me if not why will he allow me fail when he can easily correct the mistake? I was devastated and cried my eyes out, anger and hate became my compassion. But one good thing is that, that day never ended before I had to say sorry to God and regained back my lost happiness and it came as a result when I heard the death of a girl who made all her papers and died in a ghastly motor accident. By this time I was crying for the second time but asking God to forgive my naive self appreciating him for his immense love and kindness.
After that I started working and three months after I got the job I was knocked down by a motorcycle which landed me in the hospital with stitches on my body. Even though I wanted to be sad, I had every reason to thank God once again for life so many people had same accident but ended up six feet below. 👇
Without going into a very detailed note, a lot happened afterward and even the current state of the country is enough reason for one to be down with all the happenings but we still find a reason to be happy. Happiness itself is the one thing that makes a person last long that's why it's even encourage by medical practitioners we smile as often as possible for a healthy living. So therefore, for whatever situation we are going through rather than wearing a sad face which will gradually lead to depression and a constant heart break, it is adviceable we master the act of happiness as it is the number one thing to make us fit so as to know how to tackle the situation.
