Someone said the happiest
people don’t necessary have everything but, they make the best of everything
they have. More the point, if you want to be happy you have to start by
learning how to accept, love and respect yourself. You might not have all that you want out of
life or be where you want to be but, feeling sad and depress will not solve
your problems. Your life is a journey; Make it an enjoyable ride by loving
yourself and those that are important to you. You are supposed to enjoy life,
not live like a prisoner in your own life.
Do not wait for others to
love you first, express love and respect towards them and they will
reciprocate. A man was been abused by his neighbour for reasons he could not
understand. Each time they met, he will be insulted and harassed. Instead of
hitting back he decided to express love by been nice to the nasty neighbour,
every time he walked pass the nasty man, he will respond to his abuse by
greeting him warmly and wishing him and his family all the best for the day. In
the beginning the neighbour got angrier thinking he was been laughed at. When
the nasty man understood that his friendly neighbour was genuine, he felt shame
and went to apologise for his behaviour. They have been the best of friends for
the past 20 years.
Your happiness does not
depend on anyone but yourself, only you can make yourself happy by learning to
love and respect yourself. You will not be able to love anyone if you don’t
love and respect yourself. When you value yourself, you open the way for others
to value you. Others will treat you and see you the way you see yourself. It
does not matter where you are right now; if you want to be happy, begin by
looking at yourself as a special person. The best way that I know to elicit
happiness is to be grateful. Be grateful to be alive, be grateful to have a job
because there are thousands of people without employment, be grateful of have
food on your table because millions of people around the world cannot afford to
eat every day, be grateful to have people who love you. By focusing on the good
things in your life, you begin to see how privilege you are.
If you want to be around
loving and generous people, begin to be a loving and generous to others and you
will attract them into your life. If you want people to go out their way to
help you, then go out of your way to help others. If you want people to make
you happy, then do what you can to make others happy.
It is good to aspire for the
best, but never lose sight of the fact that in order to get more; you have to
be grateful for what you already have. If you are depressed, sad and miserable
because you don’t have what you want, you are not been grateful for what you
already have and therefore you will struggle to get any more. The best way to
attract what you want in your life is to be grateful, express love and the
universe will reward you by showering you with blessings for all that you want.
Never forget that what you
send out whether good or bad will come back to you. Send out all the love you
are capable of expressing and the universe will respond in kind, love others
around you and they will love you in return. I am not saying that you should go
around kissing everybody to express your love that will be dangerous. What I
mean by expressing your love is to send the thought of love to people around
you and truly wish them happiness. Your life will be a blessing to those who have
the privilege of knowing you and happiness for you will be a journey not the destination;
you will be free to lead a happy life by enjoying the journey that is your
life.
