All I Want for Christmas. By Angel Ojukwu

Right from when I was child as Christmas drew closer I had thoughts of what my parents would get me as Christmas gifts. But as an adult I started to ask myself what I would get myself, sometimes I gifted myself with beautiful luxury holidays and other times I had bought myself expensive shoes and clothes.

The Only Person You Can Depend On Is Yourself

Let’s be quite honest with ourselves, have you ever asked yourself “who are my true friends”?  I don’t know what your answer was but I will give you my own answer which has worked for me and I believe it is the right answer. You are the only true friend to yourself.

One of the dumbest things that we actually do in our lives is depend on other people. We don't realize we can only depend on, or trust in, ourselves.

We do it every day without even knowing it. We depend on other people to make us happy, to provide for us, to protect us. The less you expect from people the happier you will be. What we don't realize is that first we must be happy with our lives, and ourselves so that the other person only enriches us further, a complement to our life that is parallel with it.

Mobile Phone Ruin Relationships Faster – By Angel Ojukwu

Nothing kills a family relationship/romance faster than been more committed to smartphone than your partner, and now, research confirms it. Being attached to your phone seems to damage your attachment with your loved one/ones.

Plenty of research has been done on how cell phones affect relationships. Some suggests that they’re a positive influence—that being in easy, intimate touch with a partner through calling and texting makes people happier and more secure in their relationships. 

My Aspiration In LIFE: To Be Happy.

Aspiration: A hope or ambition of achieving something.

Hmmmmm….

My Aspiration in LIFE….Honestly if one had ask me this question one year ago my answer would have been different, but today I know better.

TO BE HAPPY, my aspiration in life.

I realized that you can have everything and not be happy and you have nothing and be happy.

I have traveled around the world, I have had good food, good clothes, good cars, good house but I found out that in all of this I must be HAPPY.

Question is what makes you happy? You can go on and on and on……..but remember this is your happiness, it is important to frame what it means for you to be happy

STOP CYBER BULLYING NOW!!!

I decided to write about this because at one time or another so many of us has experience Cyber Bullying. This is bullying/oppression that takes place using electronic technology. Electronic technology includes devices and equipment such as cell phones, computers, and tablets as well as communication tools including social media sites, text messages, chat, and websites. This does not only happen with kids but with adults as well.

Examples of cyberbullying consist of mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and uncomfortable pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles. I see a lot of bullying on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc.

I will never compare my life to yours. That’s why I’m happy.

BE HAPPY!!!

I’m happy because when I look in the mirror I see 'Angel Ojukwu', I don’t compare myself to anyone. Even if I did in the past not anymore. I don’t compare the way I look, the way I feel, the way I dress, the work that I do. I don’t compare my level of happiness. I don’t compare my achievements, I don't compare where I want to be or anything.

Because I realized that I spent years doing that.

Years, comparing myself to everyone else.

Ibuprofen sale restrictions, linked to 31% increased cardiac arrest risk....

There have been fresh calls for restrictions on the sale of the painkiller ibuprofen after another study found it heightens the risk of cardiac arrest.

Taking the over-the-counter drug was associated with a 31% increased risk, researchers in Denmark found.

Other medicines from the same group of painkillers, known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), presented an even higher risk, according to the findings published on Wednesday in the European Heart Journal.

Diclofenac, available over the counter in the UK until 2015 and still taken on prescription, raised the risk by 50%.

Want To Be Happy? 10 Things To Stop Doing.

1. DWELLING ON THE PAST

Do not dwell in the past. Yes, this can be difficult but if you want to be happy then you must reside in the past. Focusing too much on past events doesn’t allow you to live in the present or strive for the future. You can never change the past but you can make the future good and focusing on something without a solution is sure to put you in a melancholy mood. It’s better to live in the present, and to channel your energies to what you can do as opposed to what you can’t.
