Staying Happy Even When It Seems Impossible
"Once you know with
absolute certainty that nothing can trouble you but your own imagination, you
come to disregard your desires and fears, live by your own truth alone."
N.M.
This is the
day that the Lord has made; you shall be glad and rejoice in it. Every day of
the year and every hour in it, is definitely fashioned by God so that you can
have a 360® happiness and never lose a moment of happiness. Happiness itself is
readily available to any man that chooses to welcome it and allow it stay,
irrespective of the circumstances you may find yourself. As I continue to
journey through life, i have come to realize that staying happy at all time is
something worthwhile that man should for no reason allowed to be interrupted
for even a second by those unforeseen events or happenings that just stroll in,
captivate and manipulate your mind and render you unfit, incapable and unable
to stay in charge of your precious God-given mind. You may say how that is possible;
it is very possible even though it seems tough and challenging for man. I have
been in and out of some terrible and devastating situation and I believe so are
you, but if you can cast back your mind to the whole scenario, you will found
out that your refusal to stay happy at that moment did more harm than good to the
situation. Most of the time you will realize your reaction of been unhappy only
worsens the matter and hardly do anything to alleviate your problem because at
this state, it becomes pretty tough for you to think right and straight. One
lesson I have learnt from my encounters in life is that everything comes and
go, no ugly situation come to stay and destroy us when you maintain your state
of happiness, and staying happy helps you stay focused; have a clear vision;
take the right steps and get the right results.
I want you change and start to have a new way of seeing your situation, having your perspective changed about how you see your life is one compulsory and very important tool you need to ensuring you stay happy in all situation either it is still and blissful or stormy and fruitless. Do not let anything whatsoever deprive you of your Happiness. Yes, remember there is going to be storm, trouble, confrontation, marital trauma, chaos, short comes and so on but don’t forget after all these things comes total peace, victory, joy, success, great accomplishment, marital bliss, a new haven etc. Even though sorrows fade the night, there shall be joy in the morning.

Happiness is
your birthright; nothing should steal it from you. Keep it, treasure it and don’t
lose it, it is the armor you have got to defend yourself against all odds and
stay on top of your situation.
Promise yourself to be so
strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of
everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only
for the best, and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and
press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the
improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the
faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best
that is in you!

At sometimes
you will get to know that it’s the little things in life that makes you to
appreciate your life and be contented with happiness. Have you fallen so sick to the extent
that you're unable to get up from your bed, where your only wish is being able
to walk would bring great joy to you?
Have you
been so tied up with your work, working round the clock, that getting to watch
a movie would be such a great luxury? Have you been so broke that if you were
ever to have work again, you'll be so thankful? Have you lost someone you love
to Death, where you'll give the world just to have just another day with the
person you love?
Have you
been so down in life that being able to say a prayer is the greatest thing you
can ever experience?
If you check
through your life you will see that there is a lot you should stay strong for
and be happy.
I want you
to digest the quotes below:
All happiness is a
chance encounter and at every moment presents itself to you like a beggar by
the roadside —André Gide
The best advice on the
art of being happy is about as easy to follow as advice to be well when one is
sick —Madame Swetchine
Dry happiness is like dry bread. We eat, but we do
not dine —Victor Hugo
Happiness as wholesome
as honey on the comb —John Braine
Happiness choked my
throat like an anthem. It flowed through me like a river from the beginning of
the column to its end —Aharon Megged
Happiness is like a
sunbeam, which the least shadow intercepts —Chinese proverb
Happiness is like
manna; it is to be gathered in grains, and enjoyed every day. It will not keep;
it cannot be accumulated —Tryon Edwards
Happiness is like time
and space; we make and measure it ourselves —George Du Maurier
Happiness, like air, is
not something you can put in a bottle —Anonymous
According to
Aristotle “Happiness depends on ourselves” more than anybody else, Aristotle
enshrines happiness as a central purpose of human life and a goal in itself. Aristotle
claims that nearly everyone would agree that happiness is the end which meets
all these requirements. It is easy enough to see that we desire money,
pleasure, and honor only because we believe that these goods will make us
happy. It seems that all other goods are a means towards obtaining happiness,
while happiness is always an end in itself.
The
Greek word that usually gets translated as “happiness” is eudaimonia, and like
most translations from ancient languages, this can be misleading. The main
trouble is that happiness (especially in modern America) is often conceived of
as a subjective state of mind, as when one says one is happy when one is
enjoying a cool beer on a hot day, or is out “having fun” with one’s friends.
For Aristotle, however, happiness is a final end or goal that encompasses the
totality of one’s life. It is not something that can be gained or lost in a few
hours, like pleasurable sensations. It is more like the ultimate value of your
life as lived up to this moment, measuring how well you have lived up to your
full potential as a human being. For this reason, one cannot really make any
pronouncements about whether one has lived a happy life until it is over, just
as we would not say of a football game that it was a “great game” at halftime
(indeed we know of many such games that turn out to be blowouts or duds). For
the same reason we cannot say that children are happy, any more than we can say
that an acorn is a tree, for the potential for a flourishing human life has not
yet been realized. As Aristotle says, “for as it is not one swallow or one fine
day that makes a spring, so it is not one day or a short time that makes a man
blessed and happy.”
I will say
that you should “stay Happy” every day of your life because this determines how
well you fare in life and see to it that nothing keeps you from living a happy
life and ending your life happily. Your life might have been tragic, what
matters most is that it ends comedic.
Change your perspective
now; stay happy even when it seems impossible!
