There are a lot of things i make sure i don't deprive myself of in this my young age especially happiness because it is the way i choose to treat myself now that will determine how i turn out to be in the future, and that can come in one of two ways..
Depending on how you treat yourself now, you will either see yourself in 10 years time and be happy of how well you didn't deprive yourself of the goodness of life or you see yourself in 10 years time and weep sorrowfully and bitterly in regret of how inattentive you were to the things that makes you smile at all times..
That is to say, YOUR ACTIONS NOW DETERMINES YOUR FUTURE POSITION, one thing i make sure i never forget to do is making sure i smile everyday, i make sure to keep myself happy at all times irrespective of life's challenges and hurdles because i don't know what tomorrow brings to the table and i won't cause my health harm by thinking about something that is yet to happen when i know i can make myself happy in the present day...
As my countrymen would say problem no dey finish😂😂😂, that is to say there is no end to problem because it just keeps on coming, just try to enjoy each and every day , even one of my nigerian musician sang it as a song (tecno)..
There are different and lots of benefits HAPPINESS brings to the human body, soul and spirit and this benefits including staying emotionally and mentally healthy, looking young and fit as a result of not having unhealthy worries and many more...
WHAT IS HAPPINESS TO ME??
As we all know happiness means different things to different people, some people having money to live okay and fine is the definition of happiness to them but for me happiness is much more than what the human brain can guess.
Freedom goes a long way in the definition of happiness for me, the ability to do the things you love and want without restriction, the ability to chase after any little dream and passion of mine without discouragement and restriction, having the support of my loved ones whenever i am about to handle any task assigned to me or i am about to make any decision regarding my life, having resources at my disposal, living life without worries and burden, having true and genuine friends to share worries and bad times with, making and having lots of riches to live each day without regret and all this with a good support system are the definition of happiness for me....
This is my full and advanced definition of happiness and being happy in this way will ensure a fulfilling and encouraging life and then i can cause both my situation, the situation of others and my surroundings to be a partaker in the happiness...
These are all the things i need to ascertain myself of having the word HAPPINESS in my dictionary....
HOW DO I GO ABOUT FINDING THAT HAPPINESS???
There is this beautiful quote one of my role model use at all times while trying to make us understand the ups and downs of life, it says physical battles requires physical preparation and spiritual battles require spiritual preparation..
This means that whatever we plan to achieve in the future and knowing fully well that there will be challenges and hardships setting in, you need to be physically prepared and that means being determined and goal driven and everything is bound to set in with God...
The spiritual battle can be in form of spiritual attacks from your enemies and to fend them off, you need to be spiritually fit to counter every of their attacks and that is done with prayer as the sword..
Can someone tell me from the words i just used above what the end result of fighting this battle is???
It is to ensure a lifetime happiness and prosperity...
I having been preparing myself for a life long happiness by making plans for them now and that includes not depriving myself now also, i have been laying my foundation as of now and also at the same time making savings for the future to make my life a win/win situation...
I don't make myself unhappy now all in the name of having a better tomorrow, using hunger for example, if i am having #1000 now and i am very hungry and i have an appointment next week, i will never think twice in this situation, i will satisfy myself now and then make provisions for later by eating a belly filled satisfying meal and then i will go out to get a menial work that is enough to raise my transport fare..
I will do that because i might choose to go hungry to transport myself to the location and on getting there i collapse and after a check up, they realized a lot has accumulated in my body, do you think i will be accepted with that??
but if i eat well, i can decide to trekk there or get a random petty work to raise transport fare and getting there i will filled enough to answer the questions and possibly land the job....
I am currently moving at a very slow pace yet very fast on achieving my desired happiness but i tend to respect present challenges and situations to be solved first and not add more by thinking about the future challenges, i live each and everyday of my life as if its my last because if sickness sets in, then there is no happiness ever....
That is to say, no matter what you do in life, never forget about making yourself happy at all times because happiness goes a long way in ensuring longitivity of life...
