15 DAY POSITIVITY CHALLENGE

Never let a bad situation bring out the worse in you. Be strong and choose to be positive

Out of every emotion, happiness is the most surreal to endure, we are always expecting something bad to occur when our mind is occupied with happy thoughts considering it to be a fallacy created in life. You know the quietness before the storm. Our immediate apprehension is why am I so happy? It is too good to be true. Make us wonder something as simple yet important like feeling happiness can lead to extreme panic of the unknown and why do we always assume that sadness is what only follows joy. Let me pronounce the words, Happiness is a choice of an individual and not a factor of fright and yes you can feel contentment with a blast of sunlit optimism without being scared. Downfalls is what makes out life and polishes us to be strong individuals, it is how we conceive the hardships and embrace our mistakes rather that resenting it because they are our biggest teachers.

As we all know that the government has decided to increase the lockdown so staying positive is especially essential during this pandemic.
