Happiness is a self decision that no one can make for you. Decide now. The attainment of pleasure from what gives you joy is totally up to you. The possession of treasures that makes you happy can only be defined by you. Do not depend on anyone to be happy, else you may not get it at the time you need it! Folks! Pray & plan to be happy. Think of what you have that others are desperately looking for! Contentment is the only requirement for happiness. Be happy with what you have first, and do not be desperate to get to where you want to be. Dear God! Please grant me pleasure from what I treasure amen. Have a joyful weekend as you spread joy to others.

In the afternoon of a work day, Shayna, a financial professional, walked into a bank to withdraw some cash. She waited in line to be called by the next available teller. She was welcomed by Ana, the bank teller, with a big smile. The name was visible on the tag she was wearing. People say, a smile is contagious, though  some people will give you a plastic smile, for reasons best known to them. This was however not the case with this charming customer. Shayna reciprocated and started talking about the nice weather, as the teller asked what she can do for her. Within 3 minutes, the transaction was done and Shayna was so pleased. She demanded to see Ana’s manager. The teller who thought Shayna wanted her manager’s business card immediately went to get it from her manager named Christopher. No, I will like to see your manager responded Shayna. I enjoyed your service and wanted to say a word to your manager about you. She said ” Oh! Thank you”. Within seconds, she went to fetch Christopher and Shayna expressed her feelings about Ana. The manager thanked Shayna saying ” Thanks so much for your nice feed back”. It means so much to me, because some people will give negative and some positive feedback. He concluded that he is not surprised by Ana’s world class customer service, she is simply awesome at her job. Ana was very happy and they all had a warm hand shake. Shayna left feeling happy that someone smiled because of her action.

Make people smile, whether you work for them or they work for you. It costs nothing.

Folks! how many people are going to smile today because of you! Remember!A smile is good and a frown is rude. Have a lovely and pleasant week.

Words itself don’t hurt, but it’s the person that says it that makes it hurtful. If it is spoken by someone that means so much to you, then it will have a great impact. Imagine your mum or dad saying ” I’m disappointed in you”,  It will hurt you deeply. However, if your neighbor or colleague says it, you may not feel it. Brethren! Think about the impact, if it is said onto you, then you will speak it well enough to others, no matter what.  Dear Lord! Make me say it in a way that is pleasing to You amen. Have a blessed  weekend and try not to hurt with your words.

Words spoken is usually an expression of emotion (mood or feelings), but may also be based on logic. When  word is spoken as a result of mood, may never be good and can damage someone forever. It is however beneficial to speak good or leave for good. You do not have to talk if its not fun. Brethren! Think it before you speak it. choose your words carefully, so you do not need to retract it. Be as good as your word. Always keep your word. Make your word your honor. Dear Lord of the world! Save us from the destruction of the tongue amen. Have a faithful week  as you speak with compassion to others.

No good deed is too small. No good deed is too big. smiling and making someone smile is an act of goodness. Empowering someone through beneficial knowledge is a good deed. Mending fences between people is an act of goodness. The list goes on and on. It does not matter how big or small, as long as it is genuinely done. It does not matter the quantity, but the quality.  Dear God of goodness! Grant us the ability and capability to do good irrespective of our mood. It is another week, an ample opportunity to be good to someone, far or near, old or young. Just do it! Doing good is feeling good.
