My happy place in a photo
The lead image I used was taken at Camp John Hay. This popped up in my fb memory. That was 10 years ago and we haven't been back since. That road leads to the US ambassador's residence that's why it's supposed to be private.
We just came from the DENR area that time which is across the road going the residence. The entry is gated of course for it is a private residence.
However, the guard that time was kind enough to let us in. We asked permission if we could walk this way going to the trail. There are several trails here but the major one is the yellow trail and that was our intention.
Instead of going around to the main entrance which was several kilometers away, we thought we could just walk through this road and find our way to the trail.
The guard willing agreed. It is easy to find your way to the trail anyway. Even if we followed the road, it would still take us to the yellow trail.
I really like this photo. If ever I will be given an opportunity to own a property, I would like my driveway to look like that, full of trees lining up the road.
Looking at this photo takes me to a happy place. I can still remember how pleasant the afternoon was. It was a cool one because this was the -ber months and brrr are the days just like now.
It was after the rainy season too that's why everything is lush and fresh.
How are you? Mentally? Physically? Emotionally? Financially?
We always say that happiness is a state of mind. It was a tough day for me yesterday. Family problems do arise. Personalities clash. Frustrations arise from misunderstanding and expectations. Respect and authority and power are misused and abused sometimes. Relationships break because we cannot meet eye to eye. Some are stubborn. Some are selfish.
Work environment can be stressful. We are bored after doing the same thing over and over again. We are demotivated because we think we are better than others. We don't find enjoyment anymore. We want our leaders to do something.
How do you find your motivation? How do you keep going?
At the end of the day, we don't need others to make us happy. It is within us to make that decision. The choice is ours.
Why are we so concerned about what others would say?
As long as you are not harming others or yourself, then do you. Be you. Whatever we do, there will always be those who will say something against us. Ignore them.
They are not you. You are you.
We all have differences and that's okay but that should not be the reason for us to hate others, ignore and cancel others.
Choose kindness. Choose happiness.
We should not live according to what people say, our life, our responsibilities, what can we do for others is to respect their choices, and their private life too.everyone has its battle everyday, so, we can help others by not causing them to be stress the way we speak, and react about everything in their life.
