How To Live A Happy Life: Five Things To Do -By TD Jakes


1.     LEARN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN HAPPINESS.
# No one else has the obligation to make you happy...not even your 
spouse, children, house, money or cars.
2.     CHALLENGE YOUR OWN STORY OR SITUATION.
# You may need to change your perception of your situation to truly
appreciate that things are really not as bad as they seem. Stop tormenting yourself.
3.      ENJOY THE JOURNEY OF LIFE.
# The journey is as important as the Destination...we often times delay our 
happiness till we have accomplished this or that. For example, we say "I won’t be happy till I am married with children or till I make my millions."
4.     MAKE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS COUNT.
# No one exist alone…learn to enjoy the company of others.
5.     BALANCE WORK WITH PLAY.
# Always find something to play about while you are at work. There is 
more to life than work. Work and play. Learn to create fun out of difficult 
or challenging situation.

My Quest to Be ‘Cool’: Dealing With Low Self Esteem

Image
I was born in Sekondi to a nurse and a farmer. At about 5 years, we moved to Komenda, a small town in the Central Region of Ghana. Even though I was one of the best students in primary school, I always felt ‘little’ when we travelled to cities like Cape Coast, Accra and Takoradi. I felt everyone there was more beautiful, more intelligent, spoke better English and was generally better than me. I had a similar experience in secondary school, always looking down on myself and feeling I was not good enough. Oh how I wished I were an ‘Accra girl’ because I thought they were so cool! Yet, when my family finally moved to Accra, I still didn’t feel cool. On top of this I didn’t even have a boyfriend! If only I could get a boyfriend, then I will be cool like the other girls… I thought. In University, I met some really wonderful friends, some of whom were from ‘rich’ families and I thought being friends with them will make me feel cool. I didn’t. I had the opportunity to start tr...

Agony of a Child Bride!!!

My Name Is Fatima Mustapha. I Am 21 Years Old. I Am From Makarfi In Kaduna State. I Would Like To Share My Divorce Diaries With You . I was married off at age 11. In my village, most of us were married by age 12 to preserve our purity. I am still not sure what that means. I never thought it would happen to me because my parents allowed me to attend school instead of hawking and I loved school alot. In my school nobody made me do extra work because I was a girl. I loved school because I loved coming first and being ahead of the boys in my class. I was in JS2 when my mother started talking about getting me married. I honestly thought she was joking until my uncle brought his friend to our house as my suitor. My suitor, Malam Faruk was a shoe seller and cobbler in Zaria. He was 42 years old and my parents felt he would make a good husband. I did not understand what they were all talking about. I really did not understand what I would do with a husband. So that’s how Malam F...
