Hello, read cashiers! Happy Monday❗
Are you excited about this coming Christmas season? 27 more days to go and we will bid goodbye for a year in 2022, let's welcome a new year with a positive outlook and make a better version of the life. but for now, let's enjoy the remaining days of this year because it will never become any furthermore.

Even though life is hard, all I want is to be happy. Whatever problem I know I can handle it because I am strong and Independent. All my life I was being prisoned on my weaknesses. Every time I had problems, I become different and lost my confidence to smile. I made my life so serious, maybe it was the reason why I feel like something was missing in myself.
Free your heart from hatred
Throughout all these years, I had a lot of misconceptions about life that I kept in my heart. It bothers me all the time, about those people that I thought they are good to me but all of the time they are just pretending to be nice for the benefits they can get on me. I don't have much money, but every time they need me I always help them with whatever it takes. Especially when it comes to family, I am always willing to help. But not all will appreciate you, if you have no more to give you are nothing. At first, it was just a simple disappointment until it turns out into hatred, but I realized I'm not happy anymore and I want myself to be set free from all the grudges and just live with satisfaction.
Free your mind from worries
How can I avoid getting worried? I easily get worried, every time I had problems I cannot sleep well and it affects my mood. Many what-ifs will form and I got panic sometimes which leads me to become bitter. Overthinking is not a joke, It brings up a lot of stress and pain.
From now on, I will give more value to myself and let everything heal as time will passed.
Live Simply
My life since then was very simple, I become ambitious because I don't want to experience in my family what I was going through since then. It's normal to have a goal to make our life develop far from what was like before. Living a simple life gives you peace and a harmonious relationship with each other.
Give more
Even though life is hard, it doesn't mean you are not capable of giving because "WE" all can give if we just want to. The more you share, the more you will be blessed. My heart is happy every time I can share what I can give to those who needed the most. Not only material things can make people happy, but the most precious thing that we can give also to people is " love and respect" for one another.
Expect nothing in return
Every time we give, maybe there's a little part in our hearts hoping that someday we can rip what we sow but not something like whatever you give you expect more than enough. Me, as a person I am not used to expecting something in return from those people I helped because when the time comes you are in trouble, there are also blessings in disguise that will come your way so unexpectedly. God will find a way and send someone who truly has a genuine heart will help you even if you are not related or haven't met in person.
My final thoughts,
Many people say that "Happiness is a choice". For me, it is easy to say those words but hard to execute because we have different situations in life. But we always have a chance to choose what is best and what makes us happy. Though there are people who dragged us into sadness we should cope with ourselves to be free from all those miserable things that happen in our daily lives. And enjoy the triumph at the end of the day.
That would be all for now, I hope you will enjoy reading my write-ups for today🙂

Freeing the mind from worries is important, what I often do is to make a list of things I want to do each day, little by little I review it and at the end of the day I see if I was able to accomplish 60% - 70% of what I wanted, and if that is the case it makes me feel good. I set short term and long term goals, and I do them little by little without getting discouraged, because if this happens and I get full of worries I will lose a lot of time in that situation and I will not be able to move forward with what I want to do.
It is good to always want to improve economically and to improve personally without having to complicate ourselves, to do it little by little at our own pace.
We have to give more, you are right, we can help others and give them love and respect, but before that we must improve ourselves and give ourselves love and respect, know that we are also important.
