Truth be told, we don’t always have it all together. Some days we will be on the brink of a total meltdown and that’s okay. It’s the pressure building up from the uncertainties of life… building up from not having total control over everything… building up from a particular day or moment when everything decides to go totally wrong, south, sideways and even rock bottom.

I created this quote to rewire my brain on a day when everything was going totally wrong, and all that was left to do was to laugh at the pain of that dreadful reality. There is a saying, “take the serious things and make it into a joke.” This only means that instead of getting angry about the bad stuff you may face, learn to laugh or make a joke out of it in order to keep your cool.

 It’s quite the norm when people would look back at some unfortunate situations they faced and begin to laugh about it. They can now laugh because they overcame it, survived it and is now in a better place where that is concerned.

But take for instance when you are actually facing a devastating moment, your natural reaction is to panic, get frustrated, be angry or even cry. Sure! That’s probably fine since you are only seeking a way to channel and release those pressurized feelings. But hey, life will always challenge you whether you like it or not. At some point, you have to get it together. The problems aren’t going to fix themselves, and you, my love… will have to fix them with or without help.

Then there was me!… in the middle of a chaotic day, laughing at my problems as they introduce themselves one by one. You’d probably think I was going crazy, but I was far from that. I immediately went into problem-solving mode and I smiled and smiled, just because it felt so good being able to resolve things bit by bit. As I journey back to a normal state, I learned to create happiness into knowing that everything will soon be okay.

In the midst of chaos try to find peace, and if you have the strength, find happiness in it all, laugh it off, smile your worries away and begin to clear out all the mess that was created. Be proud too! For you are fixing things one by one, and you are able to maintain calmness as everything begins to fall into place again.

So on the days when you’re a hot mess, don’t let it disrupt your peace. Create happiness within, knowing that you can fix things back to normal, you can start over and make things even better and you can also let things go and be content that it’s for the best. No matter what, strive for happiness!
