Motivation Tips
True happiness can be felt when we look inwards and and find those thinks that will continiously spark up our life! So lets start with the wise words of Nathaniel Branden: - "Persons of high self-esteem are not driven to make themselves superior to others; they do not seek to prove their value by measuring themselves against a comparative standard. Their joy is being who they are, not in being better than someone else." Are you happy because you can impress others or because you impress yourself?
Look at the mirror, if you do not have a reason to smile at the person staring at you. You are likely not to find happiness elsewhere! Happiness is not like existence, it won’t just happen. We have to choose it and keep choosing it every day for it to be. It’s set off from within us and then transfer to our jobs, families, career, business or achievement and to other people. But amazingly many of us will run around looking for happiness with such breathless haste, that we breeze past it without knowing. “If the eyes is patient and focused enough it will see the nose”-Yoruba proverb
Happiness does not depend on what is expected of you, it is more of impressing and loving yourself. You will find people who spend years in medical school to prove they are not losers or get married to prove they are responsible. Can you call that doing the right thing? Why on earth, wait for someone to tell you it’s time to be happy and live for yourself? If you are doing something or seeing someone at the moment, for any reason that is sincerely not for your own true happiness. You should stop right now! Please and please again take the next turning.
You can console yourself that your fat bank account makes you happy. Yes, it will for a while before you would need to start paying doctors and comedians for occasional happiness. Am sure you can’t be fooling yourself. Resound these words of Franklin D. Roosevelt when he said: “Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.” Attaining that feeling of fulfilment should be goal. Chase the right things, at the right time and for the right reasons. Even the day knows when it’s time to hide and let the darkness of the night aid its next appearance. Remain in vogue, only when you should!
As a happy fellow you don’t need to bother much about whether life is fair or not, you need to flow with it and enjoy the scenery when on a detour. As Bill Cosby said “you can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humour in anything - even poverty - you can survive it.” SO why are you lounging in a world that is not yours? Replay the good thought, the happy days, the success you have achieved! Learn to write the bad things that happen to you in sand, and good things in marble.
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It's simply means you have decided to look beyond the imperfections. You have shunned all reasons to be limited by any limitation or frustrated by any for form of frustration. You have surrounded yourself with pleasant thoughts, joyful goals and nice happenings. Living a life that you deserve!
So take that risk, make a change and break away. If you doubt me or think it is not possible, give it a try with an open mind . That ways would be pleased or to at least prove me wrong
