Negative labelling
What label have you attached to yourself lately? Label are what you call yourself in your head, they are tags you attached to yourself to describe the person you are. We put ourselves in boxes trying to define who we are. We do it to others and also to ourselves too, whether in a positive or negative one. We whisper to ourselves concepts and dictates the direction of thoughts and action. The things you think about will drive your behaviour and labels attached to you by the society. We are what we think we are, we all live up to label we attached to ourselves, if you think you are a winner, even if you are not, you will act and think like a winner until you eventually become one because of the label you give yourself. Allow yourself to be joyful it's as simple as that. You can always allow yourself to be joyful regardless of what is happening around you. Strive, calculate and execute your plan. Hold fast to your intentions no matter what the outcome, let joy be part of it because in life it's is either a lesson or a blessing. They aren't negativities. The world often doesn't work the way you thought it would. Depends not on things going a certain way but upon you chosen to be a certain way. Respect your deepest obligation and celebrate your highest privileges. People who think of themselves kindly have a positive outlook. What you label yourself with on a daily bases who help you remind yourself of what you truly are. Self criticism resist your potential by keeping you confine to negative labels, It is self prophetic. If you believe you are "useless", your action and thought will be like that of a useless person and you will often feel frustrated and unhappy, so on this note I will say u should always be joyful because been happy and joyful isn't a function of what you have or don't have, it is just a DECISION, so just decide to be joyful regardless of the outcome.

I don't believe in labels at all, especially not of people; labels are limiting. 13th century Persian poet Rumi said: "If you label me and define me you will starve yourself of yourself, nail me down in a box with cold words and that box will be your coffin because I don't know who I am. I am your own voice echoing off the walls of God."
