Reading my news feed early this morning and all I kept seeing was 'the dress'. I was like, seriously, what dress is everyone talking about. I checked it up on Instagram and then I saw a picture of  'the dress'. To me, the dress was clearly blue and black and I'm like, what's all the fuss about, all I see is blue and black!
Honestly, I wondered why the people who could see 'white and gold' did. I went for my morning class and by the time I returned, I saw the dress as white and gold. I'm like, what! How did that happen??
Reflecting on what had just happened with me, it became pretty obvious that sometimes we are too quick to jump into conclusions. Like the saying goes, 'things aren't always what they seem'.



After reading a couple of articles on why people perceived the same dress with different colours, I believe that our different perspectives are as a result of our different eyes and our different lighting conditions.
Anyways, I really do not want to do an analysis on why the perspectives are different. i just want to point out that all too often, we begin judging others because they do not see thing s the same way we see them. Like with the dress, its almost like it's always one camp of people against the other. It's almost like if you don't perceive things the way I do then, you are wrong or you are just pretending or maybe you have something wrong with you.

Perspective is a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something. We are different and I believe that our differences make us unique. It is important that we appreciate our uniqueness and our individuality in perspective.
It is of course possible that we know that others may seeing things wrongly and that their vision is blurred because of the things happening around them but then we must learn to correct them in love!

Let love lead!

•        You have to pursue your dreams.

•        Hold on to hope.

•       Keep your eyes on the goal.

Have you ever looked into the face of a new born? You can literary see the peace and comfort in their eyes. For them, there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about. All they need is readily provided for them. As we grow older, that total peace seem to slowly diminish. Responsibilities begin to appear on all sides, the need to be better shows up and if we don't keep ourselves in check, we would realize that we begin to live everyday in worry.

What exactly is worry?

Hello everyone!
Happy Sunday!
Woah, I get so excited just knowing that it is Sunday.
Today, I just want to continue from where I stopped on being happy.
So, in my previous write up, I said that if we were going to live happy lives, we would have to stop expecting others to make us happy and we would have to take responsibility for our own happiness. If you didn't read that one; go read it now and then come and continue :)
In taking responsibility for our happiness, it is important the kind of company that we have around us because no matter how positive and happy you try to be, if you hang out with people that are never happy, always gloomy, never seeing the good in life, you'll end up like them. Don't tell me you're stronger and that you'll resist their influence on you because it's a fact that evil communication corrupts good manners. You eventually begin to act like those you hang around so, keep a company of people with happy spirit and cheerful souls.


And one other thing I think we all agree that music is the 'food' of the soul, yea? That's why it's important the kind of music we listen to. You can't tell me that you want to be happy and get over a heartbreak and the song you're listening to is Adele's 'Someone like you', seriously! Get me clear, I don't have any sort of ish with Adele or her songs, in fact I love her style of singing. The big picture here is be careful what you are listening to. Whether consciously or not, the lyrics begin to form a thought pattern, they begin to create ideas, they, in the long run begin to paint the picture of your life. So, get some good music on your playlist!
The final thing I'll say on being happy is that you get a hobby. Find something that you delight in. Something that can be an exit point for any kind of sadness, anger, depression and negativity. Find a positive channel for you life and keep the streams of happiness flowing.
Shoot! I know that I said finally already but I just  remembered this and I think that it's important when it comes to being happy. You know that song, 'Don't worry, Be happy'. I feel like dancing just thinking about it. Those words are heavy truth. Lots of people live very sad lives because they worry a lot. Truth is that you could so much going on in your life that you honestly do not know how you could go a day without being worried. My dear, if you're going to be happy, you'll have to give up the worries.

I'll write more about worrying in my next blog but till then keep a cheerful spirit up.
Take responsibility for your HAPPINESS!!
..you are SPECIAL!
