This fashion blog is a little different from my usual. I felt propelled to write about happiness because so many men and women put happiness in so many different things rather than simply what makes them unique in who they are. Here are 10 reasons why you should be happy with you.
1. Happiness is a priority level! Happiness is a state of mind we place value on as positive emotions. So how you feel about yourself is directly tied to how, or what you think about you. It is normal for negative thoughts to come, but by immediately recognizing those thoughts and re-creating new positive ones will affect your mood.
2. You matter! Place "emphasis" on who you are vs. what you do! What that means is pay special importance, value, or give prominence to. You are a number one priority. What you do one day may be gone the next, who you put before yourself may be gone the next. It is important to hold yourself in high regards with humility. Know that we are all connected to life (source) and that God is our connection to meaning in life not material things or substance on earth.
3. Life has meaning! Keep things in proper perspective. Create a space of gratitude and awareness.
4. You were made to give! The golden rule has always been a true path and is a principle that remains. "Do unto other's as you want done unto you." Giving can mean so many different things for so many different people, however, the jest is to concern yourself with others and connect.
5. Other's depend on you! "No man is an island to himself." Pressure comes from every angle, and secluding yourself from others only makes things worse. Share what you have overcome; what you're going through helps others to put things into proper perspective and gain insight.
6. There is nobody like you! You have what other's need. Sharing is caring and the more you see yourself as, "there is enough of me" to give to others, others will begin to see their value in the world.
7. Your life is important! Value, Value, Value. What do you see as important? Is it money, houses, and cars (the tangible things that will go), or is it people, making a difference in the world and changing lives (the intangible things)? Seeing things as permanent status vs. "like" status can make a world of difference in knowing who you are.
8. Time is of the essence! The world as you know it has changed and is changing for the worse. Just turn on the news and look around, its present. What little time, or "a lot" of time do you have? What difference does arguing or being upset about things that you may or may not have any control over matter? FORGIVENESS is the KEY for YOU to UNLOCK the door for FREEDOM and success, not for others to do. You are in CONTROL of your DESTINY and often times we give our power away waiting on someone else to do. Gain control over your life by taking responsibility for how you feel, act, and do!
9. Your life affects others! Whether you actively participate or inactively engage , you are always affecting someone else's life. You are living for someone else or for your generation even if the generation of your seed is not visible or present now. Just as your generation before you has done- will always have a trickling effect into your generation and so on. It is vital to live in the now, be aware, and be intentional about living.
10. You are loved! Know that you are loved. You were created and brought here for a purpose. It doesn't matter how you got here and what you have been through, you are loved by God! Fill your life with positivity and good because God is good, and Jesus died because He loves you. Spread love and love will return.
