I always have one wish to achieve in my everyday life, and that is to always be happy. As in, sadness has no space in my heart, only happiness. Happiness is a choice, and I will always choose that over anything else. You know that, sometimes, people are having a hard time achieving that elusive "happiness." Where are you Happiness?
This may sound so easy to achieve, but to others? It is not. Because everyday, the meaning of happiness also change to some. You know that feeling of contentment with what you have right now? Or those small things that you achieve in life but make you smile. Those little things that really bring happiness to other people, just like me.
This is actually my entry for Ladies of Hive Community Contest #105. I missed the last contest but not for this week. We have two topic provided by @ifarmgirl. Thank You so much for the awesome topic this week. I will go with this topic:
Do you have a personal guiding principle (or a mantra) by which you live? If you do, what is it and how is it impacting your life so far?
My 3 Mantra Everyday:
"Get lazy all you want but make sure that morning is a productive one."
"Money is the Answer!"
"Always choose Happiness"
No matter what my problem is, no matter how big it is, and no matter how hard life is, I will always choose happiness because happiness can give anyone peace of mind. Problems are there, yes, but I can set them aside and think only of positive thoughts. And actually, I just give myself a time limit to self-pity and think negatively, but later on, I will just forget it all. As in, completely.
Because of that, I have a positive view on life. I am a jolly person and you might even mistake me as a person who doesn't give a damn about everything, but I do too. It's just that I chose my peace of mind over anything else. Who else here wants peace of mind? I bet everybody wants that. I smile, I laugh hard, and I scream with happiness. I do all of that because laughter is the best medicine.
"Get lazy all you want but make sure that morning is a productive one."
Another mantra of mine every day. I am lazy and I can't control that sometimes, but when it comes to my work, I can stop that laziness and will start to grind again. It should be a productive morning. That's the top priority. I will do all the things that need to be done every morning, even half of them, and once they're done, that is where I will take my time to bum around. It will be a productive morning, then laziness comes next.
It is effective for me, actually. I will read 5 to 14 articles for an hour on different platforms. If ever I think of an idea or a topic, I will also write and try to get things done while doing other things. I can also do multitasking, though at a limited time, but I can do that too. But sometimes, I just set a time limit for this particular site, and then I will move on to another. I'm used to it now because I've been doing it for, like, a month.
"Money is the Answer!"
This is related to the second mantra. This is like a pill or a controller that makes me move to be productive. It's also a source of inspiration.Money is the answer to our problems, and I should grind if I want to save. I have this goal, which is to save, and I've been doing that since I started my blogging journey. If I just dilly dally on that journey, I will never have even a small amount in my wallet right now. For me to save and reach my goals, I should move, and while I still can, I should be diligent and hardworking.
Money is the answer. Maybe not all of the problems, but most of our problems can be resolved with money. Especially at this time when everything is expensive. With the inflation and the continuous rise in the price of every good and necessity, I am thinking about money and the possibility that it will never be a problem if I have savings and I know how to handle it. I think that is enough to fuel my desire to save up, and it can only happen if I work hard and wisely. "Money is the answer, Ruffa, so, move your ass and go grind like there's no tomorrow!" Go!
I am inviting you @eybyoung, @xanreo, @volleyren20, @yen1503 and @jenthoughts to join on this challenge. Come on guys, we have a good topic this week (◍•ᴗ•◍).
