Believe in Unicorns

Happiness is believing in unicorns. I am a unicorn. You will be happy with me. It is a statement. (Bursts into laughter). Walang basagan.

Happy people are happy cause they make themselves happy, they chose to be happy. Happiness is a choice.

I am happy. I would like to share why I chose to be happy, how maintain a positive outlook. 

Being human, means being imperfect. I try not to hold any grudges; understanding that fact that it is better to forgive and forget. If you can't do both, at least choose one. Whenever I feel violated, down or offended I immediately recite the serenity prayer at the back of my mind.

"Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference" repeat three times and say HOOOOO! I pray instead of obsessing over how unfair life is. Focus on what you can control and change it for the better.

Kindness. It is scientifically proven that being kind makes you happier. Every time you perform a selfless act, your brain produces serotonin, a hormone that eases tension and lifts your spirits. Not only that, but treating people with love, dignity, and respect also allows you to build stronger relationships. Don't forget to say " I LOVE YOU " to those people you really care about or assist an elderly lady crossing the street. :)

Relax. "problema na yan, pproblemahin mo pa" - a colleague told me in a stressful situation. Problems should be never in a person's vocabulary. Try to relax and don't take everything as a whip, take the problem and strive. Life is too short to get over and done with such trivial matters.

Be Grateful. This is one thing I learned from my ultimate crush Karla Escoto (RIP) - there's this saying “The happiest people don’t have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.” it is better to count your blessings instead of yearning of what you don't have. Look at the bright side and be contented na lang. :) :) :) :)

Dream big. By being this way you will have a much focused and positive state. It is essential to write your plans to be on track.

Manners. Do not forget your manners. Speak well of others, yes he/she might have said something wrong about you, just leave it to god rather than getting even with that person. As fun as gossiping is, it usually gives us the feeling of resentfulness and guilt.

Excuses. Try not to make excuses. Again nobody is perfect. Never blame others for your own failures. If a mistake or an error occurred under your supervision. Acknowledge that failure and take full responsibility. Never runaway! Face your fears! 

Friends. Choose friends wisely. Surround yourself with optimistic people. The more positive energy you have around the better you will feel. Do not forget to praise your friends and listen to them. Talk less, listen more.

Honesty. Never lie. It improves our mental health and builds others' trust in you.

I hope I was able to share and spread love to everyone. Stay positive.  Live. Season's Greetings everyone!

Merry Christmas and Good Job! Nobody puts down a good one!
