please stay happy

No matter how much joy you have on the inside of you, sometimes through the inevitable unstable circumstances of life, you may not always feel happy. Your
happiness is very important to you and the things (not just people) around you. The wisest man on earth once said “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heart ache crushes the spirit.” Notwithstanding, your happiness is a choice. You cannot change the vicissitudes of life, but you can control how you react to things that happen to you. Alfred montepart says: “happiness depends not on things around me, but on my attitude; everything in my life will depend on my attitude.”`
Here are 4 actions you consciously pertinaciously choose to practice to reinforce your happiness:
1 LIVE. Exactly! That’s what I mean; LIVE! Pardon me if it sounds outright, blunt or rude. Some are merely lurking in life. They are 6 feet away from living. They are like dead fish flowing with the stream. One sage once said “few people are really living, many merely exist.” Not everything breathing is living, some merely exist. Trust me, there is no replay of this 1life Jesus died to give you in abundance, so you might as well decide to LIVE it well and live it RIGHT. “Wealth is the ability to experience life”- Henry David Thoreau.

2 Love: yes love love life, love your environment, love your friends, love your neighbour, love your partner, and love your enemies. Love. I know some might be a bit skeptical about this that we are not supposed to love the world. Anyway our neighbours and enemies are in the world, and Jesus instructed us to love them. We are not supposed to love the ‘system’ of the world, because it will affect our eternal destination and ultimately short circuit our joy and happiness. Love of money is the root of all evil as much as lack of money is the root of evil. What you need is to be in charge. Don’t let the love or lack of anything control you. Be in charge but please love.
3 Leave. Not all things will fall in place, you have to leave some things as they are and move on. Am not telling you to be a quitter, and if you have been erroneously inextricably addicted to “don’t quit” mentality, you may miss my point. James Dobson says “we crave those things we can’t attain; we disrespect those things we can’t escape.” Some relationships are not meant to work, leave and let go. Some jobs no matter how hard you work, won’t work, leave and let go. Some projects will never look propitious or pay in the end, learn to leave. We often times focus on closed doors and fail to see other opened ones…
