Good day everyone, so this is my entry for the hive naija weekly prompt : What does happiness mean to you? What are the things you must have or engage with to achieve and maintain your happiness? For some people, it's money while some will choose family; feel free to share with us things that make you happy…
Happiness is not a new word to many of us and each person in this community has experienced happiness one way or the other. What is happiness? It's a personal feeling for positive emotions or finally finding fulfillment in something special to you or someone close. We can't only feel happiness for ourselves but we can reciprocate it to our family or someone close to us.
Happiness has always been informed of good news received, like for example receiving a text from a place you applied for a job for over a month to begin the job. At that moment a rush of emotion will cloud your mind especially if it is something you have been longing for a while. Everyone has their own way of feeling happiness and as for me what gives me happiness is money. Yes I said money gives me happiness and most Nigerians can't deny this fact because it is the truth.
There was a tutorial I attended a few months back and the lecturer said money is a source of joy for most Nigerians. If a depressed person is giving 2 million naira out of wedlock instantly that individual's mood will change and would immediately forget being in a state of desperation a minute ago. I agree with what the man said because it is the truth. It might not be 100 percent accurate but 97 percent of people will suddenly feel happiness if a few bucks is given to them out of the blue. Money has been 70 percent of my source of happiness and the remaining percent is from football and being around family members.
Financial stability is what every individual chases and hopes for in their lives. There is nothing satisfying knowing you are free from financial burden which helps to reduce stress and thinking upstairs. It also gives room for more free time to partake in other activities that will help boost your mental health which is very important because without peace of mind there's no way a person would be able to relax, let alone experience happiness.
There are alot of people facing serious issues out here and it has become difficult to engage in other activities that can bring happiness but that is out of the question because most people would rather chase the bag so they can't no more because it is their only source of experiencing happiness. It's just the way the world works now and you can't blame people from this part of the world for choosing money as their source of happiness because it ain't easy in this park.
So guys that will be all for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day.
