Happiness in the little things.

It's a Saturday morning. I have cleaned up the house and it's time for my yoga routine. The routine is a new one, and it's about an hour long. I watched Sarah Beth, my YouTube instructor do the moves multiple times, and I felt that I should try, but I couldn't stop laughing at the fact that I could break an arm or twist my neck. I would do it anyways. So, I changed into my workout wears, and began the routine. Oh! I did it! It's time for a victory dance. My fully-charged Bluetooth speaker is on the table now calling me to connect it to my phone and head to Boomplay to blast some victory music and dance away.

That done, I'm heading to the kitchen now to try out the new toast bread recipe I found on IG. I had been craving it for a while, but I didn't have the money to prepare it. I have the money now, so I'm going to sort my cravings first, then, think later. I'm now in the kitchen preparing the ingredients. Thirty minutes later, my food is ready, and heck! It's so yummy. I prepared my tea to step it down and now I feel so happy and fulfilled. Okay, it's time for another victory dance!

It's time for some work. I have a pending assignment that's due for submission today, and I'm yet to submit. So, I sat on my blue plastic chair, powered up my system, and began work. It took about four hours to finish, but I did, and submitted just in time. Oh, yeah. It's worth a happy dance still.

Okay, what do I do next? While I was thinking of what to do, I got a call from my best girl. "Hello, babes, what's up?" My visa was approved! She screamed over the phone. Wait, what? Don't joke with me, please. "I'm not joking", she responded. Thank God! This calls for celebration! Ah! Finally! I danced, screamed, and danced again at the good news I just heard. Oh, one other friend sent me an invite to her wedding happening the month after. Good news upon good news. I loveeet! Happy dance, yet again.

It's late now, and I'm hungry once again, but I want to see movies tonight. Let's make puff puff a replacement for popcorn and enjoy my movies. I had worked through the week, I should take some time to relax and enjoy, yeah? I've finished seeing the movies now, and I feel so happy I took that break because if not, how would I have laughed so much at the comedy I just watched?

Happiness springs from the feeling of fulfillment and contentment. Feeling happy at the current level that we are doesn't mean we are okay being mediocres, nope, it only means that we are trying to be sane even though our dreams are bigger, yet still appearing like it'll take a long time to manifest. But, one thing is, before the dreams manifest, should we stay sad? Nope. Rather, we should find happiness in the little things while we give ourselves the push we need to climb up the ladder to greatness.

Little things like satisfying my cravings, preparing my favourite meals, connecting with my family, and working out make me so happy. Hearing good news from others, especially those that are close to me brings me a kind of joy that I have no way to understand.

If you're able to find happiness in the little things now, celebrating yourself and being happy when bigger things happen will be easier. Even though you'll still want more, every milestone reached and ticked will be worth celebrating for you, and you'll feel fulfilled and happy on your way to the uppermost region of success.
