You Deserve To Be Happy

“The only truly safe thing you can do is to try over and over again. To go for it, to get rejected, to repeat, to strive, to wish.”― James Altucher

Are we judging and measuring each other’s worth and success based on the number of followers everyone has?

It’s a robotic/bot world, everyone is looking for more likes, comments, views and more money with every single click on their posts on various social media platforms. Trying to crack the code of various algorithms to find how to gain maximum followers and what not. But does it really matter in our life?

At least not to me.

I am very introverted and sensitive even for the things that you might think are useless. Once one random guy said nasty things on one of my twitter posts and I literally didn’t login to twitter for the next 1 month and that comment haunted me like a shadow and sometimes still does. Now you can understand my level of sensitiveness.

I became very depressed. Not so dramatic, but I had sinking feelings. I was kind of lost.

Appreciate your current place in the journey.

Showing gratitude is a way of thinking and often easy to forget many of the little things we have to be grateful for in our lives, but it’s important not to take anything for granted.

Let’s take a moment today and be Thankful for the things that we have in our life- be it your parents, partner, friends, job, or anything that brings joy in your daily life.

If you look back right now, all the adversity, all the challenges, it all played a part in you becoming the person that you needed to be to get where you want to go.

I am thankful for HOPE because it gives me positivity and happiness. When we have hope it is easier to succeed. Hope is believing in something great and trying to fulfill that dream. I am thankful that my family and I have hope. — Nazar Abushanap

So if you can take that hindsight and bring it into your life now, use that to be at peace no matter where you are right now, no matter what’s going on, no matter difficult or whatever is going on.

So be at peace with where you are and take steps every day to get where you want to go.

What is our purpose in life?

Everyday I ask myself this question.

And my disappointing answer is “To be happy.”

That’s all? I was expecting something more profound. I couldn’t comprehend how truly profound her simple statement was.

Writing this post is my way to say that there is always something good waiting for you even if you don’t know where your path is going to lead you.

Finding ways to release emotions.

I have been a hell lot of vulnerable in some of my posts especially around dating and my experience as a woman. I have never imagined in my wildest dream that writing is actually making me human again and I am able to connect with my deep self more authentically and without being self-critical.

I am a person who procrastinates whenever anything goes wrong and over analyzes everything.

As I have started reflecting back on this year I realized — I have developed empathy, resilience and connected with my emotional state way better than before. It also helped me to connect with other people around better.

After all, writing’s power to heal lies not in pen and paper, but in the mind of the writer.

Here’s the good news — we don’t have to be professional writers to use writing to help us comprehend the contours of our experience, heal, and ultimately flourish, restore, repair, renew. We merely have to pick up our pen and begin. Connect and share our life stories.

Even if writing is not your jam, finding something where you can unapologetically be yourself. Either it’s going to a gym or a walk or any creative outlet like painting, singing, dancing. Just try.

It’s about making something new. That’s what make us happy.

That is what making me happy right now as I type. I’m finally writing again.

Let’s be human again.

Be Bold

Be Courageous

Be Your Best
