I once listened to a motivational speak about happiness and one thing I picked out from his speech was about not allowing ourselves to be ruled by other peoples judgement. That shouldn't determine our fate . Sometimes we are covered by our blue print which is the way we expect life to be .The secret to happiness lies in our blueprint. If you change your blue print life changes.

For example I know of someone who suffers from an illness known as IBS (Irritable bowel Syndrome) with frequent bloating and indigestion symptoms. People complain about the way she smells due to the excessive flatulence issue but she doesn't let that bother her. She trys as much as possible to ignore people comments and be happy and smile even though it doesn't come from her heart (thats what she said) but she still maintains that smile and positivity and thats because she has changed her blue print about life in this case ignoring what people say and telling herself it doesn't matter what people say or think because that not who she is.

In summary it boils down to maintaining a positive outlook even in impossible/difficult situations(not so easy I must say). You definitely have control over whether to be happy or sad/depressed.

^ someone suffering from IBS needs to see a doctor and modify his or her diet.

Putting on a happy face is not what is relevant here.

Attend to your health, not be the life of a party or keep hoping others dont smell your gas.


let's stick to topic plz.

This is how you people keep missing it because you just cant focus on a topic but everything you see is always coloured by your insecurities.

go to health section if you need to discuss IBS, and stop making fun of someone who has an illness, jeez. You think you can never fall sick or die suddenly?
