Sending wishes of abundance and healthy week to you all as we commence another week full of expectations. And expectations should also include our well - being to be able to achieve goals we set out from time time.
And on this first prompt for this week’s featured contest is all about friends: Do you believe that we need friends to be happy? And what will a life without good friends be like? And I don’t entirely believe that we need friends to be happy because for me being happy is one emotion we must develop within ourselves as humans who must value themselves and seek to live a genuine positive life at all times.
Happiness is one emotion every human should desire to have, and I believe happiness is what we must build through our surroundings. Happiness can come from the kind of family we have, that job we wake up to everyday, goals and objectives we set and achieve, and even our businesses. The happiness all these can bring is that which we see through valuing ourselves with self esteem.
Although as humans we need friends and desire friendships, especially genuine friendships which most times are hard to come by due to how the world 🌍 has become in recent times. Friendships influences us in many ways. Yes! Genuine friends and friendship is that one thing we long for because friendship is so loving. With good friends we don’t feel alone, we are supported when things are good and at the same time, when things are bad, keeping us under struggle, especially those friends who can understand us, but the issue is how times has changed many things. People are not what they use to be and at the same time, not who they say they are. Those we might see and take as friends, may not have our interest in mind.
So with this prompt question , if we really need friends to be happy? Its a capital “NO” because I see and feel that our happiness is in our hands. I can not rely on a friend or a friendship to be happy 😊. Despite friendship brings joy 🤩, togetherness, those you can count on for support, etc, we should not focus on friends to derive our happiness. We should see ourselves as the architect of our own happiness through self love, motivation, feeling comfort and always being at peace with ourselves. These are the things that can bring us happiness 😍.
It’s important to know on how not to depend on others for happiness so we do not loose self control over ourselves. Its also important to know on how to believe in ourselves, which makes and provide us with self value and self esteem, in all helping us to be positive at all times as positivity is a key 🔑 to staying elevated in spirit.But this however does not stop us from having friends around us. Those we can share thoughts with as Two Is Always Better Than One”.
