Five things that continue to make us unhappy

1. Continually focusing on other people success

     It's always good to see others becoming more and more successful and success stories can help to motivate us to become even more successful ourselves. However, becoming obsessed with the success of others may just leave us feeling bad about ourselves. Others may be moving fast on their path to success while you find yourself moving a bit slowly. We need to to step back at times and realize that each of us are on different paths and we can't keep comparing ourselves or becom envious of the success of others.

2. Working just to pay the bills

   Yes we all need money to make ends meet but just getting up and going to work just for working sake will drive you crazy!!! We need to find some form of joy in the work we do not just do it because we know it's something we have to do. Ever wonder why so many of us are so stressed out despite having the money come in every week? It's often times because we are putting so much effort into this job that is not doing anything for us except adding stress. We need to enjoy what we are doing or it will just drive us to madness.

3. Comparing our relationships with those of others

How many times do you find yourself saying , "I wish he would hold me like that or why can't he kiss me like that?" These type of thinking will only cause us to stray from our partner or cause our partner to feel as if they are not good enough. In this age of social media with couples showcasing their love for the world to see many of us find ourselves sitting on the outside just wishing and hoping that you could experience what they have. Let me just point this out to you, things are not always as they seem. We need to focus on our own relationships and not become consumed with those of others.

4.Jealousy over looks

   Well well isn't this a very important one. This goes especially for girls, as we as females will spend hours analyzing our looks and wondering what we can improve upon to look like someone else. In a world where makeup and the latest hairstyles are always trending topics we find ourselves either feeling inadequate or over spending on products to try and reach the ideal look. This type of obsession with our looks will just leave us feeling unhappy about ourselves.


5.Dwelling on the bad things in your life
   Hello!! Bad things happen to everyone not just you however, in order to move forward with your life you have to focus on the good things more than you do the bad. You can't just spend all your days thinking about how you can handle all the bad things that keep happening to you as that will only steal what little joy you have left. You have to find the time to allow the good that you do have going on for you to grow even more. Out with the bad and in with the good!!!

TVJ Schools' Challenge Quiz Prizes

The buzzer ignited the excitement in my veins for many years. I grew up watching TVJ Schools' Challenge Quiz and I saw it as a means of once again unifying the nation through friendly rivalry. As the years rolled by things started to change and the blatant favouritism could be seen coming from our television screens. The power of some of the more prominent high schools would allow them to end up in the winning circle. Apart from the fun element turning into some what of a war each year, what has changed drastically is the awarding of the various prizes at the end. Throughout the years we could expect to see students from some of the participating schools coming forward to collect their various prizes at the end of the competition. We looked forward to hearing what the students would be awarded for their hard workout throughout the season. Apparently, this was deemed to be too much of a problem to broadcast so it was eliminated completely. All we see now is the winner collecti

This World

  A world where people don't love you if you can't supply them with all the material things they need. A world where people marry just to get citizenship in a country. A world where the most educated aren't the ones given the best of jobs. A world where the television and internet are left to teach our children values. A world where the leaders of the church spend more money on church buildings tha n feeding the poor. A world where children receive guns before they receive a book to read. A world where in one half of the world people fight for an apple to eat while in the other we pick,choose and refuse what to eat. A world where we cry when we have no new clothes or shoes but some have never felt the warmth of a shirt and pants on their cold flesh. A world where politicians get increases in pay while the citizens are placed on wage freeze for years. A world where everybody proclaims they can't trust anybody. A world where girls value are always occupied with their look
