Some words are easier said than done, but what are those words that seem difficult but have now become an easy path for you to follow because you've realized that living according to those words, putting in the action, has not only made life much easier, in terms of your relationship with people and your lifestyle in general, it has also made you have a reason to forge ahead several obstacles in the future. I believe these are what we term as our code. I want to believe everyone has a sort of code they live by, as it helps you make sometimes difficult decisions when at a crossroads, because you know living by these codes never disappoints.

I also have several codes I live by, but the one I would be more focused on today is the code that helps me maintain stable mental health when faced with difficult moments, we live in a time where every situation tends to put our sanity to trial, from the difficult economic situations, to family problems, stress from our work or business places isn't excluded, especially living in a country like mine. It wasn't much of a hassle as a child as we had fewer responsibilities, but adulthood suddenly takes its toll on us, leaving most adults feeling depressed, I read an article recently and was shocked at the estimated percentage of the population suffering from depression, worst still, it is not even adults alone anymore but teens likewise have been plaques with this mental illness, now here comes the big question, WHY?

In our bid to live life to please people around us, we overstress our body and mind, and when we don't get the desired result, it brings us down mentality. So the rule I live by is to maintain that sanity and live in peace with my body, mind, and soul is "Not to worry over what I have no control over I vividly remember the first time I heard these words, I was in a very dark place at that time, faced with one of life's numerous suppressing situations, I kept overthinking, lose concentration on important things, my very life was fading right before my eyes because I could not fix the situation, but was it within my power to fix? No, it wasn't, and there I was worrying myself. The moment I put these words into action, I found myself, realizing all I had given up while worrying over that one thing, to think that all I gave up was even the positive energy needed to overcome that state. Ever since, I have been living by this rule, if something starts taking away my peace and sanity, if I have control over it, I do the needful, if I don't, I move on. And I believe everyone should live by this rule as well.
