HAPPINESS AND PEACE

I know I told you several times over the past 40 days that I love you.  I really do.  I don’t even have to know you because I have a love for people and this is how I get through situations.  Life is so precious and we really shouldn’t waste our time being sad.  I want everybody to feel the joy and make the best out of his or her lives.  I feel really blessed right now because I have shared with you something that God has taught me:  how to be happy and at peace with life through words of wisdom.  This is really a beautiful world and each day is a new day.  There’s always hope in whatever you are going through and you can enjoy all things in life.  Life is full of good and bad times but it’s still wonderful.  We laugh, we cry and we even get stressed.  That’s okay.  We just have to learn how to handle what’s in the package.
 
I still cry about things sometimes but it’s “all good” because sometimes it’s tears of joy and I know that God is with me.  In dealing with trials, I always pray to God to bless me and give me the strength to get through the situation.  I’m patient and I know that He answers my prayers.  My journey is not complete but I know that He molds me for His purpose.  I just love Him so much.  In living your journey, you have to expect to feel pain.  We all experience pain in our lives so just hold on.  Don’t give up.  Make a choice to be happy and make that decision today not tomorrow.  You may not see tomorrow.  Spend some quality time with yourself and make a plan to do whatever it takes to enjoy your life.
 
Every time we make changes in our lives, we have to have a plan.  That’s how we succeed.  I have outlined a plan for you to be happy and you can modify the plan whatever way you like.  Start planning by Loving God and allowing Him to work in your life.  Get to know God and gain a relationship with Him.  I don’t want you to do anything that you don’t want to do.  I’m just telling you that in order to be happy, you have to allow God in your life and trust in Him.  He will give you the wisdom you need to allow you to handle life each day and prepare you for tough times.  You should start your day with God and approach each day as a beginning.  You will feel at peace and be able to smile.  I have shared with you some of my experiences but you have to deal with life yourself. 
 
We are in a spiritual warfare and if you don’t allow God to help you grow you will never win.  In order to cope, you need that relationship with God.  God will definitely guide you to happiness and walk with you every step of the way.  He said “I was the beginning and will be the end.”  Always believe that God is with you.  In allowing God to work in your life, you need to love yourself.  Don’t put yourself down.  You are smart, beautiful or handsome and have a reason to be here.  We all are good at something so be honest with yourself and be you all the time.  Believe in yourself and don’t dwell on an individual.  Remember, you have control and hold your own. 
 
Always focus on what you are doing and keep a positive attitude all the time.  Don’t lose confidence in yourself and don’t allow others to control you.  Be in control and love you for who you are.  If people don’t like you or judge you, that’s okay.  Remember you are you and you have to live your life.  Let them feel whatever they want to feel about you.  This is your life.  You can’t move any further if you don’t love yourself.  You look at yourself every day in the mirror and if you don’t like what you see, you will start your day off negative.  You know how they say breakfast is the best meal of the day.  A positive attitude and you loving yourself is the best move of the day.  If you have a problem loving yourself, pray and ask God to help you.  You can give it all to God and He will help you. 
 
I realize that we all are different and don’t feel bad if you feel a certain way about things or if you can’t handle life.  We all go through things and we learn from each other.  This is why I love you so much.  I learn so much from people and I’m still learning because I’m not perfect.  Life is learning and learning never stops.  Happiness is really within you but you have to bring it out yourself.  Gain confidence and walk with a purpose.  If you don’t like you, how are you going to happy?  You will have a sad face and nobody want to be around sad people.  People are searching for happiness and if they see you sad, they will look at you like you have a serious problem and feel bad for you.  This is why it’s important to love.  We have to help people change that sad face to a happy face. 
 
I would like to share with you another one of my experiences and this is a good example of why loving yourself would make you happy.  I remember going to a basketball game.  I saw this young lady who had a deformed face.  I’ve never seen anything like this in my entire life.  When I looked at her, it taught me something.  She taught me how to love myself.  God had placed her there for me to see.  With her deformity, she didn’t care what people thought of her.  She enjoyed the game, laughing, talking and having a good time.  I just watched her.  I wasn’t into the game at all.  I said “thank you God and she is beautiful.”  I saw the glow on her face through all the deformity and the confidence within her to love herself without giving a "you know what" in what people thought of her.  It was just a beautiful sight to see.  If she didn’t love herself, she would have been hidden from society and behind closed doors for the rest of her life.  Life would have passed her by and she would have lost all desire to live.  You see loving yourself has a huge impact on your happiness.  I love me, I’m not afraid to make mistakes and I don’t care how other people judge me.  I will still walk with confidence and I know I’m beautiful inside and out.  Don’t get me wrong, I‘m not conceited at all.  I just love what God has given me and I hope that you learn to do that as well.
 
I’m really a humbled person and love to do for others.  Don’t hide from yourself and be all that you want to be.  Amazing things will happen and you will feel so much joy.  Don’t live your life for others.  Live life for you and God.  We always have to love people but learn how to deal with people.  You deal with people by controlling yourself.  Everybody belongs to God and we are all family.  God is our father and we will see Him at the end of our journey.  Let’s help each other and know that we have to love people.  There are so many people who are hurting and don’t know how to handle life.  This is why God has been working with me to give you this message.  He wants to help all of His people to have a joyful mind.  He loves you so much and I get the chills when I think about the love that He has for us.  He gave all of us gifts and talents to share with one another.  This is God’s world and He wants us to depend on Him.   Sometimes, we don’t understand why bad things happen but God is still in control.  
 
I know some situations are painful but trust in God to give you strength to deal with those painful times.  This is why we have to only depend on him and stay positive.  Prepare yourself to deal with people’s actions by controlling your attitude.  Know that God put you in situations to help you.  Accept people for who they are but respond in a way to still allow yourself to be happy.  The bottom line is control your life and allow your light to shine.  You will have a remarkable glow and know how to deal with life.  Your journey will be more enjoyable and you will love life to the end.  Allow God to work in your life, LOVE HIM, LOVE YOU AND LOVE HIS PEOPLE.  Do this and you will have True Happiness and Peace.
