“Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you’re doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.” –\u00a0Joel Osteen<\/p>\n
Yesterday, I saw two men fighting on the street. It seemed they had both been queuing to buy fuel outside\u00a0a petrol station and when the gate opened, they both tried to drive in a rush at the same time and their cars ended up with significant damage.<\/p>\n
Yes, there are so many things around you that can make you angry if not properly managed. A\u00a0lot of people have sad tales to tell about the direct effect of the fuel scarcity going on in most parts of Nigeria right now. Some people are frustrated at work, at peopl,e at situations, and such frustration can lead to anger if not properly managed. But if we make a conscious effort not to let little things upset us, it usually gets better for us and everyone around us.<\/p>\n
Happiness is a choice. \u00a0For every minute you are angry or irritated, you lose 60 seconds of happiness. \u00a0Be happy. \u00a0Be yourself. \u00a0If others don\u2019t like it, then let them be. \u00a0Life isn\u2019t about pleasing everybody.<\/p>\n
I hope you make a choice to stay positive minded and happy rather than angry today.<\/p>\n
