Happiness
Whenever my relationships did not work-out I would often get angry with myself and become very bitter towards men. Eventually, I realized that I could not change a man, fix a man, or make a man to be what I wanted him to be, only God. I not only exerted a lot of energy trying to restore my relationships, but ultimately, I ended-up finding myself in an unhappy state of mind. Unhappiness is also accompanied with a lot of other horrible feeling or emotions like: sadness, misery, depression, feeling rejected or unappreciated, loneliness, and even sorrow, as defined by oxford languages. In order to be happy, it has to come from within because no-one else can truly make you happier than you can. It doesn’t come from others validating who you are and complimenting you on your hair, make-up, clothes, or even suggesting how sexy you are. It is having a good feeling about yourself even if someone else does not give you what you hope will make you feel good. It is an inner knowing that you are joyful and excited, and pleased about yourself. Overall, happiness does not always provide that sense of wholeness that we like to have in our lives. Sure, a man words mean a lot especially if we are a couple. However, I have to respect myself and that brings on a strong sense of happiness. I have to understand who I am from Gods’ point of view. In doing so, I will inevitably value myself enough whereby I would not have to suffer the emotional adversity that comes with being unhappy. What makes one person happy versus the other is simply a matter of accepting yourself, appreciated self, loving self, and never stop trusting in your heart that you can be happy – even without the man or woman in your life. Finally, I would venture to even say that happiness, like with love, is nothing something that you can buy or sell. It is a God-given internal characteristic of how God-Almighty. For example, when I feel joyful, excited, and very optimistic about life; I also can feel that great sense of Happiness in your lives. In the end, one can never be or experience true happiness within until he or she embarks upon the journey of learning and knowing about Self-Love, and True or Real Happiness.
