One of the best tools to resist the misadventures of life is joy, when we are happy our energies are inexhaustible, we are able to tolerate and face the misfortunes in a unique and peculiar way, because when happy we can see things from a Different perspective, visualizing everything from the good side and we keep positive waiting for the bad side to end soon.
There are many things that can bring us joy like receiving a surprise gift, receiving good news, feeling realized by reaching one of our goals or simply feeling valued by the most important people of our lives, but we know that we will not always receive good news and not Every day we will have surprises gifts.
So ... What can we do to keep us cheerful and be able to face life with good spirits?
I think there are three first steps that are fundamental to bring joy to our lives, the main one is humility, which is actually the basis of everything, when we are humble we are able to appreciate life as it is really, a unique gift that we do not have to be wasting, we stripped of banals, allowing us to enjoy life even in the midst of precarious situations, we understand the value of each person regardless of their race, religion, social status or sexual orientation, we know that none of that defines us and Nobody is more than anyone else. Humility gives way to joy because when we stop giving importance to things that do not deserve it then there is only room left to be happy and cheerful.
Self-love is what I call the second step, because nobody could be a happy person if you do not love yourself, if you do not pay attention to your own needs or if you let the adversities define the person who is; To love ourselves gives us the freedom to be the ones who want to be, without repressing us to enjoy the pleasures of life or those little things we like to do, as maybe listen to our favorite song at full volume and sing it very well We know that we do it wrong, go out to walk outdoors or stay at home watching a movie, or also believe and work against all odds in our own dreams, since if we love ourselves and we serve our needs at the end of this long Travel we call "life" we will feel cheerful, satisfied and proud despite the fact that we have been wrong and had thousands of failures.
And last but not the least, there is interpersonal love, because nobody in this world may even exist if it does not have the love of another; Surrounding us from the right people, who are always willing to give us all their support and suffer with us any difficulty is already a reason to live with joy.
In my opinion, after implementing these three steps there will be nothing that disturbs us our joy, and we will know how to live in harmony for the rest of our lives.

The Tatars they are called, but that name is too great for them, they are but thieves that pillage, rape and burn, and today I will die with hope in my heart, of a brighter future filled with freedom and happiness to my children and my people, renovated from the flames like a Firebird. I shall die for giving them a fighting chance.
