SMILING/HAPPINESS CHALLENGE DAY 14 (THURSDAY)



Good day friends, how is your day going? Did you get to help someone out yesterday? Well, I did and I’m really glad I did.

The way life is set up, nobody really is an island. No matter how hard we try to withdraw ourselves from people and live in solitude, we cannot deny that sometime, if not all the time, we just want someone to reach out to us and let us know we are not alone in our constant struggles. I understand people who find it hard to share their problems due to the fear of being misunderstood or judged but at the same time, the very old saying that a problem shared is half solved still remains valid. Some of us have gotten solutions to certain immediate problems just by sharing with a friend and even if not a solution, that feel of not being alone in a predicament might be a step to getting out of it.

So today, we are all going to take a step outside our cubicle. I said ‘cubicle’ because I know many of us have withdrawn into a kind of shell (just you alone without interference) and we just prefer not to share our problems. We’ll have to step out from our cubicle a bit today without any reserves. We are going to foster some trust with at least one of our friends and make them a confidant. No, don’t be scared of being judged. Do not bottle it in. You’d be amazed at how better you’ll feel. This is the challenge!

Get across to someone (Friend, sibling, parent, anyone)
Confide in them, totally. Bare it all!
Watch yourself get better.

Note: If you can’t think of someone, holla at me here ikpefuajoy@gmail.com. Or send me a Whatsapp message on 07019354840. I promise to give a listening ear.

POEM: I’M ME. I’M NOT BORN TO IMPRESS OTHERS

I’m only me. That is all I can be. No more, no less, so don’t second guess. I love, I wish, I laugh. Some days I’m funny, others I’m not   I’ve been frustrated so much that I’ve wished sometimes that I could die. Sometimes I’m in overdrive and I can’t stop and sometimes I’m as slow and steady as a snail. You may not like me but that’s okay because that’s me and how I will stay So don’t expect that I’ll one day change for you. I’m only me so what you think of me doesn’t matter The only person I’m oblige to please is God my creator I may be weird and be a talkative, but it shouldn’t bother you It is who I’m and how I’m created so no need to impress you I do what I love and love what I do. Your opinion isn’t needed You either accept me the way I’m or excuse me and go your way After all I wasn’t born to impress anyone but myself and God.   I’m only me so I don’t care about Criticisers or critics I’m happy to be me.

A MUST READ: 13 AMAZING LOVE LESSONS

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to tell the person how you feel. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right ones so that     when we finally meet the right person we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Love is when you take away the feelings; passion and romance of a relationship and find out you still care for that person. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you and only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be but you just have to let go. When the door of happiness closes another one opens but often time we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has been open for us. The best kind of friends is the kind you can just be with; never say a word and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had. It is true that we don’t know what ...
