At the most difficult times, you might think that your entire world is falling apart, that coming to terms with what's going on seems far-fetched and infeasible.

Well, let me tell you something. Your brain is playing tricks on you. You have more power than you think you have.

As humans, we are incapable of being in the state of happiness for too long. We were created to be emotional beings. If someone tells you that you shouldn't be feeling a type of way about a situation, they are wrong, my dear.

When you are feeling an emotion, express it hard. When you are feeling devastated and sad, carry that cloud above you until you are ready to face the truth and shift your perspective.

When you are feeling confused, sit in that perplexed state until you have enough ambition to search for answers. By being on a train of thought, you will soon be able to weigh out the possible outcomes of the situation you're going through.

When you are feeling anxious, hold it in until you are shaking with fear. Learn what makes your heart overwork and then figure out what you can do to tranquilize the nerves. The anxiety might not ever go away, but there are ways to tame them.

When you are stressed out, feel it until you are urged enough to face the unknown head-on. Your worst enemy can be yourself at times, so you need to know when to take a couple of breaths and be brave. If you didn't become overwhelmed once in a while, that would just mean you're careless.

Most of all, when you are happy and content, shine. Shine like hell because you deserve it. You are allowed to be happy. Let me just put this here that happiness doesn't stem from purchasing materialistic items, nor does it come from meeting your soulmate.

Happiness comes from you. Yes, it is in you and only you.

I'm not saying others can't bring you joy. I'm saying you shouldn't depend on others to bottle-feed you cheer.

All flowers grow from dirt, so if you can build a firm inner foundation, you can plant seeds everywhere and grow from within. You have the power to be happy. You just have to accept that.

You might not have control over the events that unfold in your lifetime, but you do have the control to change how you feel about any given situation. Be optimistic and open-minded to the universe and it will show you love back.

Just remember to relax and keep focusing on what is really important.
