The other day my very adventurous friend told me that she is uncertain about posting photographs and videos of her travel experience on social media because she feels like it would humiliate some of her friends who cannot afford the same. I adamantly refuse to be controlled by ‘pity party’, not because I don’t care but because empathy does not equal to sadness. I believe in being inspired and inspiring others while I am also sympathetic. I believe in being satisfied in what I do and sharing my happiness. The same universe that you are afraid of celebrating about, is the same universe that will shatter you down with no apology.

Can you imagine if we all looked alike, if we all got A’s at school, if we all had a lot of wealth, and perhaps if we were all equal? This would be one huge monotonous planet. Every Human being enjoys being challenged even though we might not be aware. Remember when you improved on your grades in high school? The satisfaction that came with it was astounding. The same feeling, we get when we are rewarded at work for a good performance. How then would we know where to set our bar if we didn’t have people who were ahead of us in the different aspects of life? By this I don’t just mean in terms of monetary value but physically, mentally, emotionally, professionally, and spiritually.

I am a visual learner, so Instagram happens to be my favorite social media space. Some of my favorite pages on Instagram are; Chimamanda Ngozi, Alicia Keys, Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, travel pages, fashion pages, and type 4 hair pages. Each of those pages has improved my way of thinking greatly. If all these people were guilty of showing off, I bet my hair would still be permed and I probably would have set the bar under my feet. I admire happiness and prosperity. Prosperity triggers my serotonin pushing me to even work harder. I mostly concentrate on the positive and not the negative about people. I choose to see what I want in order to attract the best of the universe to myself. Get out there, take pictures, dance, sing, and post all that on your page. If you are guilty of your prosperity or Blessings, then let the Universe give them to someone else who deserves. Nobody cares anyway! At least I don’t.
