Choose Happiness

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.

The Power Of Self-Respect: Love Yourself First

Respect who you are. Because self-respect is self-love. If you do not respect yourself, it means you do not love yourself.

Respect who you are. Because if you do not respect yourself, no one is going to respect you.

Whether you have or you do not have, your life matters. It matters to God, your Father.

Do not mess it up. Self-respect is knowing who you are, what you want, what you do not want, and where you are going in your life.

Self-respect is about accepting your life. It is not about comparing your life to other people. It is having the courage to trust yourself, to love your life, no matter where you are.

Self-respect is having the courage to say NO to people who do not treat you as a human being.

Self-respect means self-belief. It means self-care. Self-respect is knowing that you are enough to make a difference in your life.

Self-respect is knowing that you are not competing against other people. It is knowing that you are running your own race, that you are competing against yourself.

It is means valuing yourself enough to know what you want to focus your energy on.

So if you want other people to respect you, you must first respect them. You must see people as people, not as numbers.

The question is, ‘How are you treating people?’
