Whomever you might be, whatever role you might play, don't you ever forget that nothing, no amount of treasure or fortune is worth your happiness .we all have desires in life and expectations but then the greatest mistake we might ever make is using these desires, needs or wants as a yardstick to determine our happiness. One thing's for sureWe can never have all the desired fortunes in the world, but we can actually have certain achievable dreams come true.
In the process of having these priorities play thier roles in your life, there's something your not expected to do, and that is pending your happiness in relation to whether your making progress or not. THATS QUITE WRONG!
it is natural for us to go unhappy whenever something goes wrong, but then we also need to understand that things are not actually meant to go straight up cool all the time, and when they actually don't go right in one way or the other, we tend to forget about all that went right and instead of being grateful to God for that which went in place, we blame ourselves and go sad, causing us to automatically loose our happiness.
We keep on forgetting how much God has actually graced us, somehow it seems we were wired to only go happy when good things happen to us. But I'll say it's a matter of orientation and education. You were sick, you demanded to be well, you became well, your sister/aunty/wife was barren.. You pray for the fruit of the womb, months later your family was blessed with bouncing twin baby boys, your brother in-law has been unemployed for several years and has been searching for a job that will help his family survive the harsh economy, few months later he received a call from his old-time primary school class mate who saw his number after finding him on facebook, he gets an instant appointment in the company where his primary school classmate works,.. And somehow things are working fine, miracles are happening obviously **
But then, something happens the following week; your personal computer worth more than a while lot to your business has been stolen, and suddenly it seems like the world on your side is about to end and at that moment all you could say is "God why? "
Hello? Did you just question the creator? You then go to say things like "God if you don't kill or produce the thief I will know you don't exist "
Seriously how nice does this sound?
Recap- you became healthy, your barren sister became fruitful, your brother in-law secured a good employment and then all because your gadget which is though quite important to you gets missing, and you start sounding with so much negation to God.
If you were God how would you feel? With such an extent of lack of gratitude, this is quite very undeserving. What can be done? What could have been the major reason for the theft, God? Hmm, smiles.
James 1:12, God does not tempt us and cannot be tempted by evil rather. At all times we must understand that the world we live in does not serve us sugar all the way, I personally don't pray to keep me away from trials and temptations but rather I pray that he gives me the strength to tackle them whenever the situation presents itself.
The earlier we wake up in the morning to realize that the day might bring bridges and obstacles that we need to overcome, then the better for all of us. We hope to see a brighter future but this will never come by as a platter of gold. There must be sweat and sacrifice, that's what makes it valuable and worthy.
WHY YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY *
i'm going to spell out to you two reasons why your happiness should never be tampered with, no matter what the reason it could seem to be.
Firstly, don't you for no reason ever forget that the life we live in is short.
No one has the right or power to turn back the hands of time, the more a second passes, the closer we get to our graves and I don't mean to sound harsh, I'm only trying to make the fact here.
Everyday that passes makes us to age, everyday is an opportunity to be joyful, happy, optimistic and kindled. We have the power to control the state of emotions we find ourselves in and not that job, car, estate or story building is worth our happiness, cause trust me we never going to take them with us when we live.
Secondly, our lives don't belong to anybody, not your work, not your school, not your job, not even your pastor. our live belong to no other person but ourselves. Do you see some how, we've got the power to choose to be happy. To add to this, it might shock you to know that unhapinness causes faster ageing or facilitates the ageing process. Unhapinness is also a major contributor to heart disease .
Infact, in the past few decades, there are more deaths caused by heart failures or diseases which can be traceable from being emotionally sad and troubled.
Nothing is worth your happiness, give yourself an orientation, understand life very clearly. Sometimes the percieved dissappointment s are actually designed to elevate the vissionalist in you.
