How to be happy. Four things to remember.



Remember that hateful people don't win by hating you, they win by making you hate them.

We have all been angry. We have all felt hate whether we admit it or not. Your jaw clenches, the back of your neck and ears get hot, your fists clench and your mind is racing with every horrible thing you can think about this person who has wronged you.

Typically this is a passing feeling as you react to something and once you calm down, it's back to normal for you. However, there are some people who stay in this place living in hate. Think about how you feel in that moment of intense anger. Imagine being trapped there all the time. This is the life of the hateful person. Think of them as a drowning person who is trying to pull you down with them. Or as I like to think of it, a hateful life is a lonely life and if I hate you and make you hate me, I'm not alone in that angry dark place anymore. You can't always transform hate, but you don't have to let hate transform you.

Be confident because out of billions of people in the world, no one is better at being you than you.

Why do we compare ourselves to others and believe that we are not good enough based on that comparison? We are not supposed to be other people. We are supposed to he ourselves and no one else on the planet can do it. Every piece of your DNA and every moment of your life experience to this point has made you the individual you are today. Be proud of who you are and know that you have all the opportunity to grow and evolve but you will always be the only you.


when you feel like the world is chaos, look outside and see that life has order.

Relax your mind in this stressful world and see that the trees reach up to the sun, the the bees and the birds plant and pollinate, and everyone is fed. Understand that life is rhythm. It has up beats and down beats, but it is always moving. Don't think just because you are in a low note right now that you are not part of a beautiful song.

Take time to get aimlesly lost.

Stress is about "how" and depression is about "what." We get depressed because of what we want and what he don't have. "I want more money." "I want a new car." "I want a better job." We feel stress because "how am I going to make more money?" "How am I going to afford my car payment?" This is why it is important to take a moment to throw "how" and "why" out the door.

Take a walk somewhere you've never been before. Don't have a plan, a goal, a direction or a time limit. Don't think about where you are going, how you will get there and what you will do. Just walk and you will find freedom.

Will Facebook Game Shows beat HQ Trivia

The HQ Trivia app has been on a steady climb in popularity over the last year. The concept is great and understandably popular. It's the world of professional game shows made available to everyone. Not only can you compete in a real live game show on your phone, but you can win real money. The app has sponsors like Nike allowing them to shell out large amounts of winnings to trivia winners. It's simple, get 12 questions correct, get paid. Payments are maid through Paypal and average $10-$12 per winner. This isn't exactly going to pay the mortgage, but getting actual money to play a game on your phone is a pretty sweet deal. Hq Trivia stocks have continued to rise, but Facebook looks to stop that. Let's be real. This is what Facebook does. They are not an innovative companny. they are an opportunistic company that allows others to innovate and then take their ideas and improve on them. Remember MySpace? The fact is that Zuckerberg has never come up with anything origin...

13 Reasons Why Season 3. Will it Happen? Why it Shouldn't

13 Reasons Why was a compelling story both as a book and a Netflix Original Series. Season 2 hit the streaming service May 2018 to a divided audience. Fans of the series have been waiting to see what happens next, but some people (like the author of this post) feel that follow ups work against what was great about the original. What really made season one stand out was the heavy reality of the story and the finality of the end. Watching the series finale left me with lasting effects creating an impact no TV show has before. Throughout the series you get to know Hannah Baker and grow to love her character. You know how her life comes to an end, but, much like suicidal people in real life, can't imagine that she would do that. The whole story is about showing you that everyone has struggles we don't understand, and that every action has a consequence. As I watched the series, I expected a plot twist where she wasn't really dead and it was all someone's hospital bed fe...
