The past two weeks I have to say has just been so awful, I swear I have cried about five times in past two weeks. Unfortunately I can’t discuss that which is causing me so much distress, but I am so grateful for family, friends and My God for just helping me through these trying times.
My recent experiences have inspired to write this post. So what is this thing we call the “pursuit of happiness”, because I am not seeing it at all, maybe it’s because I should not be pursuing happiness and simply look to having a joyful heart? Happiness is a state of being which remains elusive to many. Happiness shouldn’t be dependent on once financial status, beauty, relationship, career, friendship and so many other things. Happiness should be one finding and accepting themselves. Lately, I’ve had a rough time accepting my reality and certain things that have happened to me, accepting my reality doesn’t make me less of a great human. It only helps me live a stress free life and live more of a joyful life. The problem with us humans is that we have this preconception of how we think our life should be or what we should be doing in life. We look at others thinking “if only I had what they had, my life will be so much better”. I have come to realise that if we don’t accept and be happy with the little we have, having anymore than we already do will never make us happy. Never compare yourself to others, no matter how sad or down you feel, you honestly never know what the next person is going through. I advice you call a friend or family, or better still go on knees and say simple prayer. The road to happiness begins with you, accepting who you are (even with all your baggages) and finding ways to improve yourself. Never live your life to please no one, except your God and yourself, at the end of day you alone will be accountable for yourself. There is nothing more miserable than living another person’s expectation (I don’t care who that person is- Father, Mother, Siblings, and Friends e.t.c.) “The future was uncertain, absolutely, and there were many hurdles, twists, and turns to come, but as long as I kept moving forward, one foot in front of the other, the voices of fear and shame, the messages from those who wanted me to believe that I wasn’t good enough, would be stilled”- Chris Gardner Things will come from every direction to push you down, even from people you least expect it from i.e. family, friends. Please never let their actions or words break you or make you give up, keep your head up and keep going. God loves you and I love you. If you ever feel down, I am always for a chat, simply shoot an email. We can say a prayer about it and laugh it off. Thank you all for the love and support, Love you guys ChiChi Jumper- ZARA | Trousers- H&M | Sandals- ZARA

I wanted to write a similar post with that exact title, but spelt like the movie (dyslexic somewhat, I'm aware). You are right; happiness begins with us and the decision we make. Thanks for sharing, and I hope things work out on your end x
