When we choose to focus on what we have we are instantly happier people. Gratitude is said to be the emotion that is most connected with happiness. Even the wealthiest person in the world can think of things they don’t have. It’s not about accumulating more things; it’s about focusing on the joy and beauty in your life by focusing on what is great in your life.
Don’t decide happiness based on your material possessions, but on the love in your life today.
Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough. -OPRAH WINFREY.
May you never be too grown up to search the skies. And when you grow up you will realise it’s not about the food or Christmas tree, it was never, it’s about the people surrounding that tree to celebrate your company. May your Christmas sparkle with moments of love, laughter and goodwill, and may the year ahead be full of contentment and joy.
Each one of us has the capacity to experience deep joy, but it sometimes takes work. If you’ve been feeling down, take a look at the kinds of thoughts you’ve been having. Maybe even write them down just so you can really see the way you currently view life. If you find that your thoughts are more negative than positive, you have to make a conscious effort to start changing them.
Make a list of all your negative thoughts and then write out the opposite thought for each one. Stand in front of the mirror and read the positive thoughts out loud to yourself.
Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are; it solely relies on what you think.
Make your life about joy. Celebrate your big and little wins. Grow every day.
Enjoy the first sip of your morning coffee, and the second and third and fourth. Find something to smile about on your commute. Give hugs often, compliment others whenever you can. Get inspired. Nourish yourself. Go outside and spend time in nature. Take chances. Make the art. Watch the sunrise or sunset. Climb the mountain with your bestfriend.
Because life is just too short and fragile to not live a life of chasing joy. Life is fun, let it be. (Not my words).
(This video got something to do with the post above. If you have 10 minutes, watch it with headphones plugged in.)
EXPLORE MORE. GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK. STAY FOCUSED ON THE GOOD. DON’T STOP BELIEVING. FEEL IT. STAY HUMBLE. FIND JOY IN THE LITTLE THINGS. FEEL THE BREEZE. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
-Frachella.

Some people think; ADVENTURE is dangerous, DISCIPLINE is brutal, TRUTH is lethal, LOVE is hard, & LIFE isn’t moving.
These are all low-key narcissistic inconsistent personality traits which brings severe unhappiness to life. And all you gotta do is; stay away from those who think like this.
ADVENTURE brings joy. DISCIPLINE teaches you to be consistent. TRUTH is core of basic human values. LOVE is beautiful. & LIFE is fun.
You have to carry this attitude forward in life. Remain consistent with the way you are. That helps you to be in sync with life. Hangout with those who reflect & second your thoughts. A happy person is not a person who’s always in a good situation, but rather a person who always has a good attitude in every situation. VIBE WITH YOUR TRIBE.
Every single day has a sunrise and a sunset. It must consist of a particular amount of hours in light and some in darkness. Similarly, your life must go through it’s own sunrises and sunsets, its own periods of light and darkness. As we see in nature, in some seasons, the darkness will far outweigh the light, and in others the light will predominate the darkness. Have faith in your life and it’s seasons, and know that just like the periods of light will not permanently prevail, neither will the periods of darkness.
The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it. It’s our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows. -Brene Brown.
Life can be fulfilling at both 16 and also 60. 25 and 35. Joy is timeless. Learning how to make the most of where you are does not have an age cut-off or a deadline. You will always be able to sit and wonder about things that could have gone differently. But you can also trust: you have not missed out on what was meant for you.
I know it’s hard to trust when so much is unknown, so instead of trying to make sense of it all at once, take it all color by color, tree by tree, scent by scent, take it one by one. You don’t have to take it all in at once. Take in the newness of it all one moment at a time without worrying about the moments to come. Let that be enough. Breathe deep and let this moment be enough. Let this be a place where you find peace.
Remember the ground beneath your feet, you belong here. No one has taken your place. You are not too far from grace. Your story might be unfolding differently than expected but that doesn’t mean it won’t be beautiful. Where you are meant to be, you will be in time, no matter your age or stage of life. Life is fun. Let it be. Let it flourish at it’s own pace.
You have to chase the things that ignite you. You have to do the things that bring you joy. You have to surround yourself with the people who bring you back home to yourself, with the people who respect you and embrace you in ways that make you feel like you are worthy and accepted and celebrated and loved. You have do the work to heal yourself, even when it hurts especially when it hurts, so that you do not continue to approach your life within the boundary of what is heavy within you. You have to put yourself out there, and you cannot worry about what other people think, you cannot rob yourself of experience or happiness or inspiration because you are scared of how you will be perceived. You have to be unapologetic in the way that you exist here. You have to believe that your ideas, and your hope, and your being, deserve to take up space. You have to believe that you have purpose.
Because our existence is finite. And as hard as that is to understand, as hard as that can be to connect with, from time to time remind yourself that in the most human way we are all living on borrowed time. We live as if we are promised the experiences and the potential we are chasing, we live as if we have control over what happens to us. But we don’t, and that is liberating, because it is pressing there is urgency within the lesson. It is meant to wake you up. Life is meant to be lived. (Not my words).
Don’t COMPARE your actual self to a hypothetical self. Don’t drown in a sea of ‘what if’s. Don’t clutter your mind by imagining other versions of you, in parallel universes, where you made different decisions, don’t PROCRASTINATE, because they don’t have much relevance left in your current situation.
The internet age encourages choice and comparison, but don’t do this to yourself. ‘Comparison is the thief of joy’, said Theodore Roosevelt. You are you. The past is the past. The only way to make a better life is from inside the present. To focus on regret does nothing but turn that very present into another thing you will wish you did differently. Accept your own reality. Be human enough to make mistakes. Be human enough not to dread the future. Be human enough to be, well, enough. Accepting where you are in life makes it so much easier to be happy for other people without feeling terrible about yourself.
You carry so much love in your heart. It’s time to give some LOVE to yourself. No one is you, and that’s your SUPERPOWER. EMBRACE YOURSELF.
