Thinking out loud by El Poiz©

I sat at a table last wednesday morning with a cup of tea, idly turning the liquid and viewing the scene around me.
You know, an ability each and everyone of us possess is the ability to put on a smile irrespective of the situation.
I once saw a quote which stated 'we all pretend to be happy' and I realized just how true that is.


Okay you might not prefer the word 'pretence'. Well, 'try' seems a better word then...'We all try to be happy'
Situations happen in life that test our resolve to keep calm and happy. We lose a loved one, help someone and what we get in return is hurt, we make mistakes that live with us and hunt us, we make efforts to be better people but see ourselves back tracking...sometimes it gets to that point where the world seems like its coming down on us, choking our very breath till all that's left is to give up.


One thing and only one thing matters the most...how you react to /handle these situations.
I see mothers, fathers, spinsters, bachelors even children strive to gain control over their pains; rising above them and maintaining happiness.


Hurt has no power over you, sorrows have no power over you, YOU have the control of yourself, YOU have the right to be happy, YOU should tell yourself nothing's greater than God's love for me, no pain's going to take away my joy, no struggle's going to take away my peace...don't let your past, your mistakes dictate your life; pick up their lessons and let these provide beautiful interlocking pathways for your future Give excuses for those who hurt you...learn to let things go.
You deserve to be happy.


I picked my phone off the table and headed out the cafeteria to begin my day.
