HAPPINESS IS A STATE OF MIND!

Happiness Is A State Of Mind!

Like bubbles momentarily popping up over relatively quiet waters and so are our thoughts... our moods swing inside positive or negative state of mind.

A feeling is easily let off and ignored just like we discard bothersome thoughts. It takes more than taste to chew!

I still remain baffled and don’t understand why in some mornings I wake up like a warrior ready to go to war.

I just kick the blankets and roar straight ahead like a fearless lion!

And just why is it that more often than not, I find myself so glum and unrelenting to the inviting day outside my windows.

Waking up is no guarantee that one is fully awake and in sync with the beautiful sunshine and embracing blue skies above.

If happiness was a virtue, I believe there’d be nothing out there in the world that can put me down.. no matter what the situation might be!

Hello. Happiness is nothing but just another temporary state of mind. You can only feel however happy for as long as you can! Ouch!

The length of your excitement is as long as the strength of the ecstatic opium released inside your brain.

Feeling happy when there’s no one around to share the same feeling or excitement with...is nothing but emptiness!

I gotta call Suzy or Sam, tell them about how happy I feel today!

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

The Apostle Paul didn’t just leave out happiness because he spent most of his life in chains for Christ!

Happiness I repeat, is not a virtue but a momentous drug which suspends our feelings from all the reality around and under our feet!

Happiness is nothing but just another temporary state of mind which suspends our fixation from our depressing environment.

Happiness is nothing but a rented feeling of peace.. For a while after struggling for days suddenly, I find myself in an elevated position where all of life is stacked under my feet.

The prodigal son had the same delirium overriding his common sense, he thought money and power was all he needed.

Looking around and always finding the so-called friends waiting even before he could open his doors in the morning.. gave him the false sense of security!

Happiness is just a state of mind, it’s a delirium produced by deceiving conditions. Once all the money dried up, all the leeches disappeared into darkness. What now?

Generally, we all feel happy and excited to the nines when conditions are favourable and agree with our moods!

This is how you feel by the look of things and everything you hear is music to your ears.

Happiness is a state of mind and very much conditionally subjected to circumstances. You get to decide when to be happy!

The length of your happiness will last directly proportionally to the amount of delirium injected to your veins.

Happiness is a state of mind! You can dance to the tune of your excitement the whole day and night... till all the people around beg you to cool down.

If this crooked world was filled with eight billion happy souls every single day, there’d be no wars to fight.

 While walking down the streets of sadness one day. I had no money and no food nor even friends to call for help!

Hey Syd! I heard God call me. Come over here and look inside this bag I have for you!

Everything you see here carries my Eternal Warranty... You’ll never cry like a lost child again in your life.

Wow! What beautiful fruits in here! I picked me some Love, Joy, Peace and longsuffering.

Wait a minute, I still have room for Gentleness, some Goodness.. I can’t live without it. Faith and Meekness. Gotcha!

I’ll use Temperance for my coat. All the Fruits of the Spirit for me.... Eureka!

MY BABY.... SHE'S ALL I GOT!

Feelings, in whatever mood matter sometimes.. . If I must open the window of my heart and let you see the real backdrop behind this narrative... this is it. After being let down by my first daughter and after we've agreed for her to meet her little sister for the very first time... I was very distraught. She withdrew at the last minute. I went to bed with a very heavy heart. I believe the Spirit whispered inside my sad heart these sweet words in the dead of the night. I tossed and turned as I began to listen to my heart, comforting and propping and lifting me higher than I thought I could ever climb. Everything else is history after this amazing encounter of wrestling with these incredible words and lines in my heart. Waking up the following morning was nothing but a formality as I began to smooth all the way to my last verse. Yes, yes... She's My Baby and She's All I Got ! Reflections, realignment, retracing and recollections of the life spectacled usually incognito to the...

BETWEEN THE EARS!

  Between The Ears! Hearing in a newborn baby, is one of the earliest activated senses... even before this baby could see. Words get spoken out and start to reverberate around the head and get trapped between the ears before they make sense to the brain. Babies, learn to interpret sign language and by reading lips ahead of understanding the language spoken in their homes. Is it not amazing and refreshing that we learned to smile after seeing our mothers demonstrate their warm smiles and mimicked them joyfully kicking with all fours? Between the ears... Our North and South Poles... sustaining our lives through balanced intelligence. It is hard for me to believe that the balance exerted by my feet originate from the water level maintained between my ears. Nobody understands Trigonometry more than God. Hello. Our bodies and beings are 100% mathematical and 100% Physics. Between the ears... In case no one ever told you this… not even your teachers. Every single pers...

THROUGH HER EYES!

Reflections...  O for the Power of the Written Word! It only takes a single word or two to build a castle in the air. I cannot thank God enough for blessing me with endless words I can configure into any form at any time of the day.  In this Poetic Love Rendition, I leave it up to you, my reader, to make up your mind. What in God's world I'm on about. Enjoy!  If you've been reading my works for all this time without subscribing, you should be ashamed of yourself! If you feel my writings build you up and encourage you in life, what are you still doing?  Subscribing to my Blog and sharing it with your friends; is the greatest favour I will ever ask of you. I spend a great deal of time and sweat when writing these words of life, just for you. I'm not complaining my friend.  God bless you.  Through Her Eyes! The way she smiles and the way she walks, all designed to fascinate and mesmerize my cool. The way she talks and her royal looks which say, I am all ...
