Stay Happy Always!

So I spent the whole of yesterday trying to develop my new my article. But to my surprise the ideas doesn't seem to flow, bringing my motivation level to an all time low.

I spent hours trying to figure out what went wrong but I couldn't come to a definite conclusion which was so frustrating. In fact, I went to the length of calling a confidant to share this development to seek succour and try to rediscover my vibes, but it was not forthcoming. I didn't stop there, I took it further by reading one of my favourite novel, Failing Forward by John C. Maxwell to gain motivation, I must admit it lifted my spirit a little bit but yet it was not sufficient.

Did I resort to prayer? No

Did I feel desolate? A lil'bit

Did I give up? Partially because I slept off after spending a lot of hours trying to find the right words or find a solution.

But one thing is clear, I didn't carry my momentary hopelessness, cluelessness, unproductivity and momentary failure with me into my sleep and dreams.
How did I know this? I woke up feeling motivated and determined to have a better day.

This I must tell you is a level of maturity because for me personally it was not always like this 5 years ago. I remember clearly everytime I woke up, I start giving a lot of thoughts to the activities of yesterday and that makes me loose focus on the opportunities of that day.

This cycle left me feeling isolated, alone and with low self esteem. I could recall countless times I have missed out on making new important friends, connections and opportunities because I was not focusing on the moment.
Overtime, slowly and surely I realise it was affecting almost every facet of my life. It was then I realized something has to be done to curtail this trend in my life.

So what was my way out?
I made simple decisions to make that call or meet that friend, although insignificant to me but I knew it will improve my communication techniques and give me a sense of belonging at the least .
I made efforts to read good books for my personal development, one of the few books I consulted was 'How to influence people and make new friends'by Dale Carnegie. This book really helped me in a lot of positive way.
I even went as far as working out using a make shift object as weight lift, that was the height of how much I desire to change.
I must tell you honestly that after just three months, I started seeing great changes from the way I think, speak and see myself. I finally get to see a happier version of me. So having that motivation cramp as I did yesterday brought back this memories but fast forward 12 hours and I begin to imagine the extent of that decision I took years back to suffer for what counts. I realised it was a turning point in my life and I wouldn't have being the ME I have fell in love with today.

And that is why every day I wake up, I love to meet passionate and dedicated people because I know in my head that these people have a story to tell, a story similar to mine.

I didn't write this post for people who are strong but for people who want to be a part of this life.
I will tell you one thing, YOU have NO CHANCE of actualising your full potential if you don't find a way to not let your happiness depend on anybody. YOUR HAPPINESS IS YOUR FULL RESPONSIBILITY NO MATTER YOUR CUP OF TEA! Stay Happy and motivated
