How to be Happy: Daily Dose of Motivation

     Happiness is a self-made emotion that we gift ourselves to stay positive and to keep our happy emotions alive. Most of the time, we just fail to understand that we are the ones who are responsible for our happiness. When we start searching for happiness outside, especially from others, we just start to fail as an individual.
     Love yourself and cherish your time because we cannot go back in time. To go back is impossible in existence. Cherish each and every moment without thinking about the past and worrying about the future. Today is a gift from God, so utilize it to its maximum. When you have clarity in choosing positivity in your thoughts and emotions, life could start to feel happier, irrespective of all the tough and rough phase which came across your way.
     Worrying is like burning our hard-earned money, which becomes useless for us as well as for others. Think wisely and set your boundaries accordingly. Life is to live, so live it happily.

With Love and Positivity,

Laziness

  “Laziness is the mother of all evils.”

— Sophocles

       Laziness is something that takes away all the beautiful time we have on this earth. Being lazy makes us weak, and eventually laziness becomes our habit, which finally turns into our character. Stop being lazy and be active by keeping yourself engaged. When you overcome your laziness, you start to feel that you have so much time to do all your routine work.

       Laziness is the habit of ordinary humans, but when you want to become an extraordinary human, just throw away that lazy attitude. If you plan your work and work your plan, then you can feel that your lazy attitude is just vanishing away from you.

         Stay active and stay positive.

Gratitude - The Greatest Virtue

 

“Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart”

-Seneca

     Gratitude is the greatest and the superior virtue which makes the core of our being happy even for the small act of kindness received. Gratitude is all about feeling happy even for the little blessings that we come across in our lives. The grateful heart is the biggest asset of a human.

     Thank God and the universe for each and everything that you proudly call yours. Be grateful for the people you have in your life because they are the source of all happiness as well as sadness that you receive. Stay grateful for all the tough times you have faced because those tough days and the sad emotions you have gone through have made you stronger today. Without tasting the bitterness you cannot enjoy the sweetness of life.

      Be grateful and stay positive.

Core Values

     The basic values that we follow should always uplift our mindset and the way we approach our lives. The core values are essential to staying grounded, and it is an individual's responsibility to set good values to lead their life. The qualities we practice and the values we follow will help us lead a better life.

       Stay Positive

     

 

Learnings and Experiences

 

     Human life is filled with experiences, emotions, lots of learnings, and much more importantly the transformation we go through during each phase of our life. Each and everything that happens in our life will have some goodness attached to it. As Plato said “Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”. The way we look at and preserve things makes a huge difference and impacts our lives. Look at life through the prism of love and gratitude.

     Accept and learn from all the challenges you face in your life. What we learn during each phase of our life is more important because that helps to alter our character, behavior, and attitude. So, it is always better to approach any situation with a positive mindset. Stay calm and be patient because a calm mind works better than a collapsed one.

      All the positive qualities we practice during tough times will make us understand better about ourselves.

Importance and Power of Education

     Life has always been an unfathomable and mystifying journey. Everything we enjoy, experience, learn and love is just a part of our life. Today, I had the opportunity to watch a debate (In Tamil we call pattimandram) on a topic,

What adds Greatness to life

EDUCATION Vs MONEY

      Finally, the debate ended with the note that “Education gives greatness in life”. The convener mentioned a great term

“We never even know the millionaires and billionaires lived during the ancient period but we know and celebrate the life and works of ancient poets namely Thiruvalluvar, Kambar, and so on.”

       This gave me goosebumps. Thus, education has always been an integral part of human existence. A human life without education, knowledge, wisdom, and rational thinking is something not good for themselves and society as well.

      Education helps to identify our inner talents and potential. Education makes us morally and ethically fit for life. Education is the fuel to the soul. So, Stay educated and learn good values and deeds through educating yourself on a daily basis.

 

Silence - A Superpower

      Anger and sadness are the punishments that we give ourselves for the mistakes of the people around us. Staying strong mentally by practicing calmness and silence will lead to peace. Never overreact to a situation which gets repeated often and never lose your calmness towards the same scenario because that shows that we are extremely weak inside.

     Life is all about expecting the unexpected because that is how our lives are designed. Never get worried about the same problem rather learn to accept life in the right way. Acceptance is the key to peace and that leads to happiness. Stay peaceful by choosing calmness. What we choose and the choice we make decides our emotions. Make the right choice to stay positive in life.     

      Strive to practice silence even during the most difficult times in life because silence is more powerful than a million words spoken. Silence is a superpower.

Self-Love

        We are the heroes and heroines of our story called life. We human beings are more self-centered. We keep ourselves before anyone around us and it is the common character of most people in the world. Here,  there is nothing wrong with holding that attitude but make sure that doesn't affect the people around us, especially our near and dear ones in life. 

       

        Respect, love, care, and cherish yourself because that leads to happiness but never intentionally hurt others in the process of taking care of yourself. Love yourself as much as possible because self-care makes us evolve stronger and emerge positive in life. 

     

         Be the best version of yourself and upgrade yourself with good thoughts and values. Most importantly, STAY POSITIVE

What Goes Around Comes Around

        Human life is filled with both ups and downs. It is hard to predict when ups and downs will come in our life. The only way to handle everything in life is to stay calm and composed during our highs and lows. Here, it is not at all easy to follow the things we preach but there is no other way to go.

     

       Practicing calmness is hard but when you learn to master that peace and calmness within yourself then you can face anything in life with a broad smile on your face. Remember one simple rule, "What goes around just comes around". Directly or indirectly we are the main cause of all our happiness and our tough days.

         

           Never lose your smile because that's the greatest asset one can proudly own.

Birth ➡️ Death

        Life is a beautiful journey that starts at the station called "Birth" and reaches the final station called "Death". Both these stations are common in everyone's journey but the way we look at our journey decides whether it is a worthy one or not.

       In, each phase of our life we will be filled with multiple emotions. We will be filled with happiness, sadness, joy, empathy, gratitude, peace, and so on. We will experience such emotions during different stages of our life. Here, life is a one-way road in which we cannot return. We can rewind our journey in our memories but we cannot relive them. 

         Make sure to stay happy to the fullest during the happy times and worry less during the tough times because life is a short journey and there is no use in looking back and feeling bad. 

          Enjoy your day, smile, and spread positivity.

Life has to Move On

         Human life is all about understanding and accepting the things which we face. At times, it will be hard to accept, and at certain times it will be even harder to understand but there is no other way to go on with life. The simple philosophy of life is "Whatever happens life has to move on". Happiness and sadness are the two sides of the coin called life. One who rejoices in their happiness should undergo some tough days and that is what life is all about.

       Accept life because that leads to peace and the peace we attain within ourselves will bring harmony. Overthinking and negative thoughts are enemies that destroy our peace. Be thankful for being alive because life is a gift. We realize and analyze things later after they become out of control in our life.

       Be Positive and Spread Positivity

All About Life - Back with Positivity

      In Life, we often forget our true identity, especially during our tough times and personal lows. One of my favorite professors in college will usually decode a statement that "Women's writing is always filled with pain, tears, and unhappiness because a woman keeps her pen on the paper during the tough times or when she faces lots of struggles". 

       My Professor's words are true to a certain extent but my view here is "mourning through writing is something which just steals of beautiful time on this earth and our words, ideas, and energy becomes waste in conveying something negative which is common in the world".

      I consider that approaching life's negative situation positively is the superior quality of new-age women. Even the toughest days teach us something positive. They help us to rekindle ourselves and make us reach the core of our being. Finally, our pure inner self will sparkle with the good old days of our lives and help us find the qualities we loved the most about ourselves and the quality which made us better individuals.

       For me, it's all about reading, writing, spreading positivity, and being a happy soul. That's why I am here to be positive and to spread positivity. Kindle your inner self to find your calling and happiness. 

        Just Wait for 24 hours for another post filled with Positivity until then Stay Positive.

What Others Think of You is None of Your Business

       We all know and think that the opinion of others is something we should ignore when it tends to affect our peace in life. Here, we just know some realities but we feel hard to practice them due to our oscillation in thoughts. But, it is advisable to ignore the words which disturb us mentally.

       We are gifted with one life and it tends to be lived happily. Have your own positive rules to lead your life. Always, remember that we are never here to impress and please others. We are gifted with a life to live it with love and gratitude. 

Your First Priority Must Be Yourself

 

      As we grow in life our responsibilities start to grow along with us gradually. It is common for both men and women to become busy with their work, family and so many other commitments. Here, all these responsibilities take away our time. Our days, weeks, and months are fully packed with our responsibilities and commitments. Now, in this busy schedule, we just forget or we just find it hard to spend time with ourselves and for ourselves. We slowly stop doing the things we love, we fail to take care of our health, and we find it hard to pick the time to think about ourselves. We just start to miss that time we have for ourselves.

      Here, schedule your work and have time for yourself. At least one to two hours per day. Just reflect on yourself, smile, love, laugh, and cherish yourself. Our responsibilities are important but we are much more important than all our responsibilities in life. During your “me time” never allow anything to distract you from the things you love doing. Turn off your mobile phones or just turn them into a silent mode to avoid major distractions.

      Love your life and live your life to its fullest. Never forget to take care of your physical and mental health because we a more precious to ourselves than anyone in this world.

 

 

 

Bliss of Solitude

 

      Real happiness in life lies in “Spending time with ourselves”. When we spend our quality time in a good and positive way we just start to enjoy our own company. Spent your time doing the productive things you love. It might either be reading, writing, listening to music, organizing your place, cooking or it might be anything that makes you feel good and positive.

      The time you spent with yourself enhances and improves you in numerous ways. Think of good thoughts and ideas which can improve you as a person. Never allow your solitude to turn into loneliness. Stay engaged in a good way.

       Stay positive and live life to its fullest.
