People spend hours, days, even years searching for meaning of happiness. What really makes them happy? Is it a new job? A new spouse? A new home? A new car? No matter what you fill in the blank with, the answer will always be no. Happiness is not about who you’re with or where you are or what you have. Can these add to your happiness? Yes they can. Can these things create your happiness? Never.
🌸The dictionary defines happiness as being fortunate, cheerful, lucky, or expressing joy. Apparently it is hard for anyone to define happiness if the dictionary lists it as being lucky.
🌸Happiness is about loving who you are and where you’re at in life. No outside source can give you true happiness. Things can make you happy for a while, but the complete and true emotion of happiness is living the best life possible, knowing that you are an amazing human being So, where do we find this lasting happiness? In the realization of the ultimate nature of ourselves. Everything is here within us. The truth is within us. Happiness is within us. True happiness and peace of mind cannot be found in anything external; it can only be found within. – Sogyal Rinpoche….
What Now?
Be with others who make you smile. … Hold on to your values. Accept the good. Imagine the best. Do things you love. Find purpose. Listen to your heart. Push yourself, not others.

“A Good Laugh and “Long Sleep” Is Cure For Anything In Life”
We spend approximately a third of our lives sleeping. Why?Because our bodies need sleep to function during waking hours. Although sleep is one of our basic daily needs, more than 60 percent of adults say their sleep needs are not being fully met during the week. Sleep, like nutrition and physical activity, is critical to our health, and when we don’t get enough, we sacrifice more than just a good night’s sleep.
How Much Sleep Do You Need? Sleep requirements vary from person to person and how much sleep you need will vary depending on your age and especially by lifestyle and health.
Age Recommended Amount of Sleep per Night
•Newborns 16-18 hours
•Preschool-aged children 11-12 hours
•School-aged children At least 10 hours
•Teens9-10 hours
•Adults 18+ (including the elderly) 9-10 hours
Stay Alert-Good sleep allows your mind to regain focus and tackle those tricky mental challenges. It can also stimulate creativity.
Boost Memory-Sleeping is the most important time to shape memories and make the connections between events, feelings and experiences. In fact, sleep is a requirement to form new learning and memory pathways in the brain.
Fight Infection- Sleep is your body’s mechanism to ward off infection. When you don’t get enough, your immune system is weaker, making you more susceptible to illness.
Be Active-Energy levels after healthy sleep are higher, and your mental awareness is more acute. Good sleep is also tied to improved athletic performance, including greater speed, agility and reflexes.
Replenish-During sleep, your body repairs the damage caused by stress, ultraviolet rays and other harmful exposure, as well as muscle injuries and other traumas.
When you don’t get enough sleep over time, not only do you lose out on the key benefits of sleep, but you also become more vulnerable to a number of short- and long-term health risks.
Studies show that people who experience chronic sleep deprivation are at increased risk :
*Automobile accidents due to drowsy driving
*Occupational injury due to excessive sleepiness and decreased alertness
*Obesity due to an increased appetite caused by sleep deprivation
*Psychiatric conditions such as depression and substance abuse

“All Love Stories are Beautiful But Ours Is My Favourite”
To Start With…….
Thanks to My Love For Making Me Feel What Love Is All About
“Million things in my head, but you still find your way into it, everytime. I feel a thousands emotions daily, so many mood swings. But you, you always find a way to calm down my storm. I am a mess most of the time chaotic and you still adore me . I don’t know what made Us click ten thousand mile apart.

You took so long to come to me but you came at the right time and we are going to be forever and forever”.

” Most Important Life Decision are Taken In Impulse “
As a teenager, I never thought I would end up in a long distance relationship, because I only heard negative things about them. But I’m here to tell you that they are indeed possible, not pursuing someone just because there are some miles in between the two of you.
Distance Is Just A Word
As you might know from another “Spend Quality Time Distance Is Just A Word When Two Hearts are Together” and there are plenty of pros and cons associated with long distance relationships. For some people, the distance isn’t that hard to handle; for others, it’s a forced way of living
But, one thing for sure realized it from my life, if it’s God’s will, it will definitely work.
Those who have undergone and Undergoing a long distance relationship know it takes trust, communication, patience, and a million other things to handle. Commonly there is so much fear and anxiety often connected to just the idea of a long distance relationship, sometimes the Charmness that can shine forth can be missed, and simple ways and means to stay connected and grow may be ignored.
Thumb Rules for a Happier and Healthy Relationship
Communication is Everything
Good communication is integral in every relationship, but it’s taken to a whole new level in long distance relationships. Considering that the majority of your communication isn’t in person, it’s really important to be deliberate and transparent when you talk.
One major misconception is that long distance relationships require constant communication, but actually not What’s vital is the quality of communication, not the quantity.
Enjoy and Cherish Every Little Things
No matter what it can sound silly or crazy but don’t hesitate to express that keeps the relationship more lively and also care of every little things possible
Learn to Verbally express your feelings. When you’re physically next to your partner than you can get away with the whole “actions speak louder than words” so if “I show my partner that I love them and I’m sorry than I don’t actually have to say the words.” This attitude won’t give hands in a long distance relationships. You have to let go of your contentment and tell your partner how you feel or the distance between you will grow,have some flowers delivered, but you must also learn how to communicate your feelings.
Don’t go to Bed With Heavy Heart
Make it a Point- Let It Out and Remind your partner how much they mean to you. Going out of your way to do something special after an argument lets them know that you’ve put the fight behind you and that you want to feel close again. Be creative and think about the things that matter to your partner.
“The distance maybe far and wide but my heart can cover them all. The space between us is so much more but you should know that I love you so!”
As We Do This…
Take every effort and make so much memories when You both get a chance to meet so that you can keep recollecting the the memories and cherish it when you both are apart
Make a Beautiful Love Letter in any form and present it when you meet
Make every conversation clear and transparent
Make it Verbal rather Texting
Keep pouring love and show each other how you both mean to each other
Keep sharing your dreams about the future
Often share pictures you both took together
Make some special moments like adding new love ingredients in every day conversation.
