I came across this lovely picture on Twitter while roaming around the application to find some fashion design ideas because i noticed some fashion designers do showcase their ideas more on Twitter nowadays because of th massive numbers of users on the app and while checking, i cane across this Picture and it was very emotional to me and i had to write something about it.
This picture made me have different mixed emotions in me in such a way that I experience both happiness and sadness at the same time because i truly understood the picture. I was happy because she had to go through this and for me it was amazing because i knew such feelings because i had gone through it as a kid, and based on the expression on her face, I knew it was fantastic and probably the most happiest moment for her at that moment.
My initial and first reaction was, "Is this all it takes for her to be happy?" which is why I was sad at the beginning... And that's when I realized that being happy is not all about what you possess but attaching gratefulness to every aspect and ramifications of your life in the sense that you begin each day grateful for the things that are good in your life and appreciate every moment because some doesn't have the grace of what you're enjoying now.
We all have a lot to learn as we mature and experience how life has been undergoing changes, we need to understand that entitlement is a disease and I'm fully guilty of this and I thought it was normal because i was totally drowned in it. and the most sad thing is that i didn't realize this until I start meeting different people and making more friends and I realized that "people that even have less than me are more happier than me" i was really ashamed of myself because i never showed gratitude for things which i had that people are praying to have it.
There's the popular advice that's common in our society nowadays when they say "people shouldn't give birth to child if they can't afford good life for them".... But if we are actually living by this statement, there won't be Cristiano Ronaldo because he came from a very poor background, there won't be Lionel Messi and some other great players like Mane,neymar and some footballers that came from a poor background.... And obviously we won't witness celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, j. k. Rowling's, Steve Harvey and also some great influencers even some musicians here in Nigeria like Wizkid, olamide, asake, burna boy that came from poor background.
Sometimes I look at my life and I wonder why shouldn't I be happy because I do realize that some of the problems I have would literally be heaven for others that are less fortunate, definitely our problem in life matters but having a wider perspective is well important too and that's understanding that some are going through worse challenges than yours and they have no way of overcoming them. Rather than complaining and blaming others appreciate the moment and work your way through the challenges....I promise myself whatever I do in this life, when I'm getting my own earned money I would always set aside donations for people that really needs it and though I don't really earn now, I still help with the small amount with me because i understood the power of helping those in needs and the blessings that comes afterwards.
The Truth be said, most things we also aspire for are taken for granted by someone or some people out there and the only way to experience happiness is by being satisfied because when you're contented you're definitely happy but never forget to still keep the hustle going while you're being contented because there is no limit yo what you can achieve. Try and help those in needs if you can, reach out to people and help without waiting for them to ask you. Lige is too short to keep all your money and resources to yourself when you can impact millions of people's life.
The money you have you can't spend it when you're dead, try and make use of it while you're alive.
