I took some pictures some days ago and I decided to tag it: ‘’Stay happy it is free’’ then while thinking about what to write today, the reflection of how unhappy people have made themselves came to my mind. These are truly trying times and the pandemic has seriously affected a lot of things but that should not cause our unhappiness.
I had written about how the pandemic has affected my business some days ago and I personally believe that the pandemic has affected more business owners to employees but I do not just know how to carry a long face (irrespective of what I am going through) and because I am always smiling, people often believe that I have everything going perfectly well for me.
Some weeks ago, one of my customer who got laid off as a result of the pandemic was called back to work, I was happy for him because that is good news and that means he will be back on pay roll after four months of not receiving salary and I was surprised because he was still lamenting over the four months he had to stay without receiving any pay check. I reminded him about those who have been sacked from their places of work completely without the hope of ever being called back and even those who had died as a result of the virus, in two weeks’ time he was going to receive his salary so I saw no reason for his unhappy state.
He said to me, but you have your business that is the reason why it is easy for you to say. I decided to tell him how much I lost as a result of the compulsory lockdown and how much debt I still have to pay, he was surprised and asked me how I managed to still stay with a smile on my face.
My Secret.
I use to be someone who will wear her situation on her face but I meet my best friend (who can be annoyingly carefree), no matter what he is going through he will never utter a negative statement and will never wear his countenance on his face. According to him, people will be happy when thy find out you are not doing well in your business and life in general but none of them is willing to help you out of the situation. Happiness on its own gives you good health and it attracts good things to you.
The truth is, we all desire great and big things and because we do not have those big things yet, we fail to appreciate the little things we have. I hope you make a decision to stay happy today and together we will become better, thanks for reading I am .
