10 Ways To Be Happy


1) Accept the things you can’t change. If you can and want to change them, do it.

2) Let go of the people who are holding you down. If you considered them, you already know who these people are.

3) Blast your favorite upbeat song and sing at the top of your lungs, dancing as you go.

4) Go for a run. A nice, long run. Run until you feel good; at the very least, you will be tired enough that the feelings will seem less major.

5) Call someone you love. Just hearing their voice can make your day better.

6) Smile at a stranger. It will make both of you smile.

7) Send an anonymous compliment.

8) Write down everything you don’t like about yourself. Rip it up. Burn it.

9) Watch your favorite movie.

10) Trust Yourself.

Think Different - A Beautiful Story


A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Were u the one who changed my sign this morning? What did u write?”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what u said but in a different way.”
What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day & I cannot see it.”
Do u think the first sign & the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
Moral of the Story : Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think different and positive. 

4 Ways To Stop Absorbing Other People’s Negative Energy


When you’ve let a chronically negative person into your life, it can be hard to evict their toxic energy once they’ve moved on. These are four useful ways to keep from absorbing that negative energy.

1. Take responsibility for yourself.

The way you feel and the things you do is completely up to you. Maybe we’re tested by some of the people who enter our lives, but all things considered, you’re the one in charge of how you feel. You simply must make a conscious decision not to be impacted by the energy of negative people. That’s step number one.

2. Take some time to breathe.

When I’m surrounded by negative vibes, I just pick up and leave and head to the woods. I spend time in nature because it makes me feel purified in a sense. Like all negativity is washed off of me. Once there, I breathe deeply. I smell the air. I let it revitalize me. When I inhale, I breathe in neutral energy. Once mine, I make it good. When I exhale, I breathe out the negative energy. It’s rather therapeutic.

12 Habits of Unhappy People (and How to Avoid Having Them)


Happiness is something that we all strive to attain. As human beings we can accept the fact that: (a) life is short, and (b) unhappiness makes our lives difficult. As is common knowledge, our habits have a big impact on the quality of life that we live; specifically, these habits directly impact our happiness (or lack thereof). To make a clear distinction, there is a strong difference between clinical depression and chronic unhappiness. Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain, while unhappiness is a disposition that is often acquired through how we choose to live our lives. Similar to depression, however, unhappiness can be diagnosed and treated.

Here are 12 habits that can cause unhappiness, all of which can be avoided.


1. Chronic Complaining

Happy and successful people do not complain much. On the other side, it seems that chronic complainers always have something negative to say… even when those around them are happy! The bottom line: we all have different circumstances that we are given in this lifetime, but in the end these circumstances are ours – fair or unfair, wanted or unwanted. Instead, seek solutions to problems instead of complaining, which leads to nowhere.

20 Things A Father Should Tell His Daughter

How true Daddy's words were when he said: all children must look after their own upbringing. Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.



1) Pay attention to the way a man loves his mother. That is the way he will love you.

2) You can do anything a man can do, including organic chemistry, unclogging toilets and assembling IKEA furniture.

3) Older women wear makeup so THEY can look like YOU. Less is more. A lot less is a lot more.

4) People will judge you by the way you look. It isn’t fair, but it’s the way the world works. Keep that in mind as you pick your outfit in the morning.

5) Never let anyone do your thinking for you. There are far too many people with far too much invested in you believing what they believe.

15 Things You Don’t Owe Anyone (Even Though You Think You Do)


I know how much social pressure there is to conduct yourself a certain way. Some people they know what’s best for you and the whole world. But remember…
1. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your living situation.



It doesn’t matter what kind of living situation you’re in, whether you have housemates, live alone, live unmarried with a partner, or live with your ex still. You don’t need to explain to anyone why you live the way that you do.

2. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your life priorities.

Want to open a business? Become a pastor at your church? Sell all your belongings and backpack through India? Go for it! And remember, you don’t have to explain your priorities to anyone. They are yours, and you don’t have to try to impress people with them.

25 Quotes From Buddha That Will Change Your Life

Between the 6th and 4th century BCE, a man named Siddhārtha Gautama began to turn heads in Eastern India with his profound spiritual wisdom.  He was given the name “Buddha”, which literally means “The enlightened one”, and to this day we still receive tremendous insight from his teachings.

Interestingly, Buddha never actually wrote any of his teachings down.  Similar to Jesus and Socrates, his method of teaching was verbal and communicative.  Oral traditions kept the wisdom of the Buddha alive until 400 years after his death when the first transcript of his teachings first emerged.

His awakening occurred when he realized that you didn’t have to starve yourself and mortify your body, as was commonly practiced in India at that time to enhance spiritual clarity and wisdom.  When a young girl offered him some milk and rice pudding as an action of compassion, he realized that there was more to The Way than what he had been taught.

He then meditated for 49 nine days after vowing he would not move until he found the truth.  The insights that came from this still remain some of the most relevant and profound spiritual teachings of all time.  


Here are 25 quotes from Buddha that will change your life:

If There Is Someone You Can’t Get Out Of Your Mind


If there's someone you cannot get out of your mind, whisper a prayer for them,that's how God moves.

When someone’s name crosses your mind. Stop for a moment and say a little prayer. You never know that they may need the help from an angel at that moment. ~ Marie Spencer 

There are experiences in life we look back on and experience grief. We do make mistakes and the consequences can be very painful. The pain is part of the healing. Slowly we reach inside and build the strength and courage to move forward with trust that armed with our new wisdom and growth we will face the future in such a manner that we will attract new and better experiences and people into our lives. The past cannot be changed but it never has to be re-lived. ~ Troy

People are on your mind for one reason or another. Some to whisper a prayer for them, some to send positive thoughts their way, and some because they’re thinking about you, too. ~ Cynthia Webb

The biggest coward of a man



Sometimes it's better to keep silent than to tell others what you feel because it will only hurt you when you know they can hear you but they can't understand.

Never Play With The Feelings Of Others, Because You May Win The Game But The Risk Is That You Will Surely Lose The Person For Life Time.
William Shakespeare

If you can't see and estimate my feelings towards you, and you can't love me as much as I do. One day you will find out that some other man is very grateful to you, as he was able to find me. And he will be the only one who will deserve my love.
Unknown

There are loads of dodgy women out there who pretends they love you but in real they not. Sincere man who seek love encounter women who play with them for their own motives. In my books that man is brave who get hurt, emotionally wounded by women but still fall in love with women after bad experiences. ~ Horus Khan

Be Gentle With Yourself


If you’re struggling, you deserve to make self-care a priority. Whether that means lying in bed all day, eating comfort food, crying, sleeping, rescheduling plans, finding an escape through a good book, watching your favorite tv show, or doing nothing at all — give yourself permission to put your healing first. Quiet the voice telling you to do more and be more, and today, whatever you do, let it be enough. Feel your feelings, breathe, and be gentle with yourself. Acknowledge that you’re doing the best you can to cope and survive. And trust that during this time of struggle, it’s enough. — Daniell Koepke
