Happiness, defined; things that help you find happiness, keep it, and share it with others.
Do you ever wake up with an anxiety that paralyzes you with fear?
Do you ever wake up with an anxiety that paralyzes you with fear? A feeling that sends your heart racing, and your mind on repetitive thoughts of lack. Somehow, you thought that this morning would be different, you made sure to be grateful before closing your eyes the night before, and did your best to be hopeful. Just like the day before, and the day before that, you are on a merry-go-round of sadness, fear, anxiety, and anger. When will this stop? What more can I do to take action for my happiness?

Sacrifice For Something Nice
It's disappointing there are certain online platforms in which we are denied the right to freedom of speech, because Good Friday is indeed a significant day on the calendar, and really deserves open discussion and transparency around the message it contains. Although I cannot therefore go into details about the significance and reasoning behind Good Friday, I can at least discuss one important word, to which part of the message relates to, because it's about a crucial behavior that we require if we are truly determined to achieve success and happiness in life. Imagine being asked to put your life at risk, or even to sacrifice your life altogether, in order to save others. As a parent myself, I think I can answer for nearly all parents worldwide that they would absolutely sacrifice their own life in order to save their child, or children's lives. The majority of us would do the same for our partner, or maybe our parents, or friends, or other loved ones. Why would we sacrifice ourselves for our children, partner, friends, and loved ones? Simple, because we love them with all our heart, and they mean the world to us. We would be happy to ensure their safety before our own. What if we witnessed a random stranger on the street standing in harm's way, would we risk our own life, and potentially perish, for the sake of saving someone we don't even know? I can't answer for everyone with that question, but one thing is for certain, the percentage of people that would sacrifice themselves, or place their own life at risk, to save a stranger, would be considerably lower than the percentage of people who would sacrifice themselves for their own loved ones and friends. I dare say that most people would likely just stand by and look on in horror. I look at such individuals worldwide such as firefighters, our service men and women, policemen and policewomen, even doctors and nurses who are required to tend those hurt or ill, despite there being the risk of catching a virus such as COVID-19, and how they all place their own lives at risk every single day, in order to save others. To be prepared to sacrifice our own health and life, in order to save and help others, I personally believe that is the greatest form of courage a human can possess.

Words of hope.
I am proud of myself for realising that I am not special and that nobody was going to save me. I’d been unwell for a while trying to get help. Physically drained. Emotionally on the edge of a serious break. Heading to A&E several times a month, waiting 2 months for appointment, taking whatever medication given.

Written by Nicola Owusu It’s okay, if you don’t know your next move you just need to believe that you are gonna make it and win in life. Being still is the beauty of self discovery. In this we analyse ourselves with what we like and dislike. What is a problem to us is what we are called to correct. Whatever we love doing is something we do naturally and with ease(least effort or without second guessing).

5 Tips to be Self Confident
One of the major features which hold us back from achieving our goals and desires is the lack of self-confidence which further leads to the fear of failure. With confidence, you can break through the wall of fear and emerge out as an amazing personality. Confidence is not like the shape of your nose or the color of your eyes, which is gifted by god, but it is like the skin which you develop over time, a skill that you can develop with constant dedication and practice.

How Becoming Vegetarian Made Me Fight For Myself
At the beginning of 2015, I became vegan. Two friends introduced me to the veggie lifestyle and there was no going back for me. This also happened to be the time I started a new job, one where I had to attend dinner parties where people feasted on all kinds of non-veggie delicacies.

Spring Has Sprung
I know outside doesn't look like the picture where some of us live; it sure doesn't look like that here. No flowers yet. But I currently have all my windows open and am breathing in fresh, warm air. It's 66 degrees outside. The grass is becoming green again, and the air smells like Spring. I think you know exactly what smell I'm talking about.
