HAPPINESS

AKINTOBI DANIEL TEMILAYO

Individuals all through the ages have made this inquiry. They pondered what is this sentiment bliss, what influences it to emerge, and how to hold it longer.  Is HAPPINESS a physical response, the impact of specific hormones in the body? Is it subject to certain outer conditions, or is it some sort of internal, mental, passionate or state? All these could be triggers that prompt encountering it. HAPPINESS frequently travels every which way. It comes, remains for a brief period, and after that some negative inclination replaces it and it is no more. Does this imply we have no control of bliss and we can’t stretch its term?

Wikipedia characterizes satisfaction as, “HAPPINESS is a psychological or passionate condition of prosperity which can be characterized by, among others, positive or lovely feelings going from happiness to extreme delight.” Wikipedia additionally says, “Logicians and religious masterminds regularly characterize satisfaction as far as carrying on with a decent life, or prospering, instead of just as a feeling.”

Merriam Webster characterizes satisfaction as, “A condition of prosperity and happiness.”

http://www.vocabulary.com says, “Bliss is that believing that comes over you when you know life is great and you can’t resist the urge to grin. It’s the inverse of misery.”

I might want to propose another definition to bliss, which I found as a matter of fact. This is an alternate definition and importance, which I have expounded on in a few articles and in my books. “Bliss is a condition of inward euphoria, which comes to fruition when the psyche turns out to be sans calm from fretful reasoning and stresses.” Individuals, who have been honing reflection frequently, and who have figured out how to quiet down their brain, would know precisely what I mean.

Everyone wants to be unique in their style, mannerism, and approach. How beautiful would it be that each one has a unique style apparent to the individual and each person can relate with such style? The greatest showman has his collection that sure stands out from the numerous fashion pieces that people put together.

Uniqueness is key to living one’s life to the fullest, and that is why it is essential that we all are “great showmen” like King Daniel. Imagine passing by a group of people, and without them seeing your face, they already know “Oh! This is Elena”, “Oh! That’s Blake”, “Wow! Jade sure looks good in her outfit today”, I bet that’d be awesome. It’d be awesome for people to know you for your fashion pieces, for your excellent dress sense, just like the “greatest showman.”

WARDROBE MUST HAVES FOR EVERY LADY

So I visited one of my friends that I had not seen in a while and then we got talking and all. She told me that she had a party to attend and that I should come pick out an outfit for her. I got all excited because Outfit-picking is one of my favorite things ever.

We got to her room, and she opened her closet and My-Oh-My!, it was nothing compared to what I expected to a lady’s wardrobe to be like. Fine, she had clothes and all, but it did not look like a lady’s closet at all. I told her that she had to fix it up as first off, the place was literally upside down, clothes everywhere without a single iota of arrangement.

I then checked for the necessary things she needs to have in her wardrobe as a lady and alas! The closet was void of them. So sad!

I would be serving you six essentials of a lady’s wardrobe. They are;

  1. A NEAT AND TIDY OUTLOOK: You can’t ever have an untidy closet like my friend’s. That is entirely against the lady-like manner. Therefore, it is vital that you always tidy your wardrobe so that it would always look attractive to you even as the owner.
  2. A SECTION FOR PERFUMES AND BODY SPRAYS: This is entirely and fundamentally important. You still have to create a space, no matter how small the section is, for your perfumes and body spray.

iii. HANGERS: You must have hangers in your wardrobe at every point in time. Those hangers help you hang your dresses and shirts so that they do not become rough and rumpled during the process of you folding them. The hooks keep them straight in your wardrobe, unfolded.

  1. DECORATIVE WALLPAPERS: The wallpapers do not necessarily have to be on the walls of your wardrobe, you lay them in each section of your wardrobe. This is so that you don’t fold your clothes inside the wardrobe ordinarily, but for you to have like a layer or platform for you to lay your clothes on. Their decorativeness also helps beautify your wardrobe and give it the “Lady- power look.”
  2. BLACK DRESSES: The color BLACK is one sophisticated color. Having black dresses give you this classy look that makes you stand out. A black dress is a must-have for every lady.
  3. A NICE SCENT: Having a wardrobe with a terrible smell is a terrible faux-pas for a lady. It is therefore important that your wardrobe always has a nice scent that would rub off on your clothes and give you a sense of confidence and elegance. Trust me; a smelly wardrobe would give your clothes a “smelly” smell. When your clothes smell or let me say stink, you would have low self-esteem and would not want to associate with people for fear of being chastised.

When your wardrobe has all of the aforementioned elements, trust me, you are wayyyyyy to go! And you would stand out with confidence and even invite your friends over to help you pick out your outfits for a party at any time, lol! You can thank me later.
