Be Happy

Watching a video about Oprah this morning made me realize that tough times does not mean that we are being punished. It simply means that we are being prepared for the great tasks ahead and that when things are tough, the most important thing we can do for ourselves is to keep pushing forward. As such, when you face challenges, be happy, at least they show that you are on a path to something great and wonderful.

Challenges bring out the best in us. Everyday. So when you face a challenge, be happy. Well, that is one of the most difficult things to do since we as humans, we always want conditions that are comfortable and favorable and we would not like anything to spoil our mood. However, sometimes what takes us out of our comfort zone is building us for something bigger than our comfort zone. It does not matter how we see the situation, the most important thing is how we react to it.

React with happiness. Push forward with happiness. Keep going with happiness. It could have been worse. You tell yourself that. And while it is not worse than it currently is, all you need and have to do is to keep going. Forward. Now more than ever. Realize that the goal is right ahead and the challenges are the confirmations that you are on the way. If everything was easy, everyone would get it. So while we keep striving, we remain happy and grateful.

Grateful to God that we are indeed alive and have the opportunity to overcome our challenges. No challenge is ever too big to defeat. You first have to believe that you can do it and then go do it. Keep going. Keep pushing. That is all that you need. And while pushing, you need to have your mood straight. Be happy and seek God. In the end, it would all make sense and the dots would eventually connect. The challenges would connect to the success and you would realize that the success would never have been possible without the failure.

Thanks and God Bless.
