GRWM | Living in Abuja #6 | Living alone | A day in my life

I've made a YouTube vlog about how I navigate my life in Abuja. I think Abuja is one of the coolest, quietest cities to live in, but I have a problem with it; it's boring and less fun than Lagos. I really miss Lagos State, with its vibrant energy and bustling atmosphere even though Lagos is overpopulated and has a lot of upside down its still a happening place because everyone wants to live in Lagos, but I want you to know that Lagos is not the way Nollywood portrayed it to be, it's just a movie because you will hustle your ass out, Abuja has its diverse cultural scene and its lively nightlife. quiet life, and as an introverted person, I guess that is working for me, but I still miss that Lagos vibe and hanging out with a few friends. I enjoy exploring Abuja's art galleries, museums, and theaters, which contribute to its vibrant cultural scene.

Joy Is Within Us

What is happiness, and why can we perpetually run once it?

What will it mean to be happy?

What is the distinction between happiness and pleasure?

It is a hot summer day, and you're feeling thirsty. an admirer offers you a refreshing cold glass of fruit drinkhowever does one feel after you see the glass? however does one feel once to drink it?

Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? i feel you may say it's a sense of enjoymentthere's a association between these 2 sorts of feelings, and someday one evokes the oppositehowever they're not an equivalent factor.

Pleasure is perceived through the 5 senses, whereas happiness isn't dependent of the 5 senses.

Pleasure may be a sensible feeling that comes from ingestion sensible food, look a decent show, feeling the nice and cozy caressing rays of the sun on a winter day, or having fin at a celebration. Pleasure must do with enjoyment involving the 5 senses and relies on circumstances, objects and folks.

When you ar happy, minor unpleasant events typically don't disturb you, however after you ar sadyou're feeling as if everything is against you. you would possibly atone for this, by ingestion chocolate and sweets, as a result of this offers you pleasure.

You may smoke a coffin nailas a result of it provides you pleasure, however this doesn't cause you to happier, especially, if you acknowledge the actual fact that smoking isn't sensible for your health.

There ar individualsUnited Nations agency concern that if they expertise happiness, it'll be shortly moved out from them. They regard it as a brief state, and ar afraid to expertise it, lest they break downthey need to avoid the pain which may follow once it goes away. They believe that happiness is usually followed by unhappiness.

Others would possibly head to the acute of not seeking it in the leastas a result of they feel unworthy it, and like to avoid it. There also areindividualsUnited Nations agency perpetually look behind their back, wondering, whence can come back the blow.

The physical world is usually in an exceedingly state of flux. At every moment, a brand new factor is being created, sustained, changed, reworked so destroyed. this is often the traditional state of affairs, and nobody will amendment it.

No scenario remains because it is. These ar the laws of nature.

This means that if we have a tendency to attach ourselves to a precise scenariowe have a tendency to ar absolute to expertiseunhappiness sooner or later.

When circumstances amendmentand also the changes don't seem to be to our feelingwe have a tendency to expertise unhappiness. On the opposite hand, if we have a tendency to exercise detachment, nothing will influence our moods. Then, external events don't have anything to try and do with our inner joy and peace of mind.

From the instant of birth, there's looking for happiness, and endless race towards it. it's thought of mutually of the best positive attributes. If we have a tendency to analyze our actions, we have a tendency to see that each one of them ar in a way or another, happiness boundeverybody desires to feel sensible and happy. once circumstances and events ar to our feelingwe have a tendency to ar happy, and after they don't seem to bewe have a tendency to feel miserable.

Happiness Is among USA
When can we expertise this desired state of happiness?


This state emerges once a haul has been resolved, a burden has been raised, or a concern has disappeared.

We conjointly expertise it once or a want or ambition has been consummated, or {when we have a tendency to|once we|after we} acquire or receive one thing we needed considerably. It comes once we ar assured of the love of somebody expensive to USAonce we win a add of cash within the lottery, or once we get sensible grades in class.

What happens at these times? the stress that has been accumulating whereas we have a tendency to were following, waiting, expecting or needing is freethere's no additional a need to run once the desired object or evade a concern, and there's no tension, worry or burden. At this moment happiness seems from among, and there's conjointly inner peace.

At these times, we've no have to be compelled to assume, worry or want a precise object, event or circumstances, as a result of we have a tendency to got or accomplished it. there's a sort of a mental relaxation, that makes happiness manifest.

This is as if the mind, that was stuffed with want, worry or concern is currently devoid of them. there's freedom, a sense of ease, inner peace and joy.

Watch your mind next time you expertise happiness and see what's happening. you may discover that your mind becomes quiet, and its constant chatter stops for a short timeduring this scenario, happiness emerges into your awareness.

What Do You Want to Do With Your Life?

What Do You Want to Do With Your Life? What do you want to do with your life? It’s a question almost everyone asks themselves. It’s also a question  I don’t believe you should bother asking in the first place. “I don’t know what I want to do in life, all I know is that  it isn’t this .” That was the sentiment a friend reflected to me. She’s in her mid-twenties, smart, savvy and hard working. But she is still stuck working jobs that don’t hover much beyond minimum wage. Every year, she tells me, that she applies for Universities, but never goes through with it.  Why?  Because she can’t answer that question. Passion Evolves I worry a lot of people fall into the same trap. The trap of believing that they need to make big life decisions before they can start doing anything. The trap that you need to be born with a passion. And the lie that being able to combine your interests with a profession is easy. When people ask me what I’m going to be doing...

You Suck. Get Over It

 Life isn’t a steady escalator. Sometimes getting better requires that you first get a lot worse. If you can’t admit to yourself that you suck at something, chances are it will hold you back from future improvements. Pride, ego, fear of rejection, call it what you will. The result is the same. Part of you likes your temporary holdout in life. It isn’t the work that scares you, or even the unknown. It’s the fact that in order to move forward you have to get your hands dirty. Examples of “I Suck” Moments Creating Progress I’d like to argue that “I Suck” moments aren’t the rarity. Letting go of what you already have is a crucial part of many improvements. Here’s just a few examples of how failing to utilize “I Suck” moments could hold you back: The Dead-End Job You want to start a business. But you don’t know anything about business. In fact, you’re pretty sure it can’t compete with the salary you are already earning. Your job is comfortable, but it doesn’t make you want to...
Inspiration comes in many forms and can strike randomly.  Some days we have an abundance of creative energy which comes naturally, other days it’s not so easy.  Writing, music, art and design all help me foster internal creativity, and I know you probably feel the same way. There are a ton of blogs dedicated to inspiration, and while that is not the main theme I write on here, I do enjoy sharing some of my philosophies on life with you from time to time. I find it extremely useful when other bloggers write quick lists highlighting articles they enjoyed writing because it is pretty easy to miss a post if you follow a lot of blogs. The importance of keeping your mind sharp cannot be overstated. We’re all part of a fantastic intellectual and information economy, which thrives on ideas, creativity and intelligence. Keeping your mind sharp is sure to give you the edge over the competition, and more importantly lead to your own higher levels of happiness. When your mind is...
