MONEY CAN’T BUY YOU HAPPINESS

DAY THIRTEEN:
Today's Quote:
“It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.” -Charles Spurgeon


Welcome to day thirteen. Thank God I am following my dream. In the words of Myles Munroe - “The poorest man in the world is the man without a dream. The most frustrated man in the world is the man with a dream that never becomes reality.” Follow you dream and above all follow your heart.  That said, now read the article of the day. I hope it will inspire you to dream.

MONEY CAN’T BUY YOU HAPPINESS:
Happiness is the desire of every man and woman. On every continent, in every country and in every culture, when people are asked, "What do you want?" the most popular answer is "happiness."  Happiness is what you need in other to make other life’s goals like success, prosperity and relationships—feel meaningful and enjoyable. We toil hard every day to be able to achieve the basic needs that will give us happiness.
Despite that fact that our ultimate goal in life is to be happy, some people chase happiness while other people choose happiness. From my personal experience, I have come to discover that, you don’t chase happiness you choose it. Most people think that money can buy happiness, that’s where they got it wrong. The truth is, money can't buy you happiness, because happiness is not in it. Money can take you to the doorstep of happiness but cannot open it. True happiness is free and doesn't cost a dime. A lot of happiness is overlooked because it doesn't cost anything.
Your happiness start the very day you began to love yourself. All you have to do is be the most loving person you can be. Your present happiness depends on the ability to give up all hope for a better past.  You cannot begin to nurse yesterday wound, disappointment or betrayal and expect to be happy. The act of forgiving and letting go will release you from the past. Only then you can experience happiness.

INTRODUCTION TO MY BLOG

DAY ONE: Today's Quote:  “I want the world to be better because I was here.” Will Smith  INTRODUCTION TO MY BLOG  As the publisher and Editor-in-Chief of a magazine, I read a lot.  Amongst the things I do and find interesting is reading personal development books, listening to inspiring audio programmes and writing motivational materials. Over the years I have built up quite a wealth of knowledge on the subject of motivation and personal development. The urge to start this blog arise with my belief that there is need for me to contribute my knowledge to the society. We are living in a world and last time when there is almost no safe place on earth. Every day, we wake up with negative news from newspapers, radio and television.   Life in every city has become so stressful and very dangerous. News of violence, wickedness, injustice, threat of terrorist strike, natural disaster, and many others saturate everywhere. It’s like there is no safe place any...

LIFE IS LIKE A RIVER

DAY THREE: Today's Quote: . “Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.” Steve Jobs What a beautiful day, thank you Lord for this day. My topic for today is “life is like a river”. First let's look at the definition of life. Life means the existence of an individual human being or animal. Back to the question, how do I see life? I see life like a river flowing on and on, always changing. Your life begins small, just like drops of rain which turns into small streams and eventually great rivers which flow into ocean.  From birth, we were not given a map or guideline on how to go about life. Because we are ignorant of this journey, we are bound to face challenges and obstacles. Living on earth requires that we must expect the unexpected and be prepared for the unknown. There is nothing you can do about it; it is the nature of life. In life, each of us will face some type of crisis and in most cases; we have no personal control over it. Sadly eno...

WHY YOU MUST COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

DAY TEN: Today's Quote: "It's never too late. Don't focus on what was taken away. Find something to replace it, and acknowledge the blessing you have"-. Drew Barrymore I want to begin by thanking Almighty Lord for my life and for everything and for making me the same person I am today. It's a pity that millions of people go through life searching for the next big thing and trying to be the biggest or the best at everything and they fail to take time and be grateful for the small everyday blessings that God gives in life. Father Lord I just want to say “thank you” I hope today's article will inspire you to be grateful for the good things in your life and stop complaining  about the bad things. WHY YOU MUST COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS: when you look round and take a closer look of yourself, you will agree with me that there are many things to be grateful for. There are so many things to thank God for what he has done for you. If you wake up and you have ...
