Choose Happiness

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Your happiness is your choice. You can choose to be happy. Whether you have what you want or not, choose happiness. Whether you have more or you have less, choose happiness.

Be happy. You are not happy because everything is perfect in your life. You are happy because you are alive. You are happy because you are a chosen one. You are happy because you still have a day or two to go after dreams. You are happy because you are not sick.

From now on, no matter what you are going through, do not blame it on others. Instead, choose happiness. It is not to say that you are not going through something. You are. You know that happiness is not about what is going on in your life. You know that happiness is about taking care of yourself, how you are treating yourself, and what you are doing for others.

Again, being happy doesn’t mean you are living a stress-free life. It also doesn’t mean you are living a problem-free life. You are happy despite what is going on in your life.

Before you leave, when things are tough, choose happiness. Why? Because it is your choice.

They Are Your Real Friends

People are calling you. Your friends are calling you. The question is, ‘Are you listening to them?’

If you want to hear, you must pay attention. Listen for something. Listen to your people, people who love you, who are for you, no matter what is going on in your life.

Your people, people who are willing to do whatever it takes to help you succeed. They are your true friends.

If you want to make a difference in the world, you need true friends. You do not need people who are not for you. You do not need any dream killers. You need more dreamers.

Do not ignore your real friends. You must listen to them. They know you. They know what you can do. When they are talking, just listen.

Because they are your true friends. Because they want you to succeed in your own life.

You need them. Because when they see things that are not good, that are not going to help you succeed, things that are unproductive, they will not stand for them. They will do something about them. They will bring them to light. Because they know that they are not going to get better if nothing is done about them.

Remember, nothing gets better by itself. If you want to know more about something, get closer to it. The closer, the better.
