IS THER ANY HAPPINESS IN DRUGS??????

If pharmaceuticals drugs didn't exist the world would still go round.there is a mental fulfillment and major profit for drug companies  that's why prescription pills has gone this far.there is no justification for the use of drugs.drugs has become an dependency for issue,situations and problems.still over the millions of years that people have been introduced to drugs there has not been anyone who has proven a success in happiness  that is not momentarily from the drug.i do not believe that you can find happiness in taking drugs,however drugs can be  used as a gateway to escape reality.
many times people turn to substances such as drugs to change the state the of mind that they are in .taking anti depressants such as Prozac takes and mental affect on your mind because it only make you feel a change for a certain period of time and once time has passed the issue or problem is still at hand.there is no positive correlation with happiness and drugs .there is actually an unbalanced  relationship with being happy and taking drugs.when you first take a anti-depressant it leaves a affect on you as feeling better when less than an hour you will feel as if you never took it,which will cause you to want another one.that is where the chain of addiction forms .that is the first step in which  is proven that there is no happiness in taking drugs.
every person who takes a anti depressant is a  factor in the booming business but is not a factor of happiness.this is considered a major problem.(should we all be on  anti depressants because of this)no but what we should realize is that drugs lead to addiction which increase profits.drugs do not increase your happiness.after taking these pills  you will easily  turn into a dependant which boost the pharmaceutical business. in the pursuit of happiness by Dr.e McCormick  page 31 sites  some statistics such as in 1995 the world wide sales were at $700 billion which drugs were no longer content merely to manufacture but pharmaceutical  companies are drawing ever so close to the consumer.

love

In order for people to cultivate themselves in happier relationships with there loved ones they  must be willing to make changes. No relationship will ever be perfect but making improvements in small areas that may have a negative impact on the other party can make a big difference.Change has to always start with you before you can make changes in a companion or spouse.Working on your problems first is always a good way of showing that you feel its things that both individuals can work on to make things better. In a relationship there can always be improvement is in attitudes toward one another and behavior. It is also very important to be open minded, forgiving, trust worthy and not judgemental.
Making sacrifices for one another can help keep happiness in a relationship. It is important to never let pride be the reason for making a damaging decision. sacrifices are hard  to make but  beneficial to both people in the relationship.holding back prevents arguments and avoid a lot of potential problems.personally i have learned that making sacrifice's in a relationship shows how much a person really care and if you have a partner who is argumentative sometimes you may have to  sacrifice getting the last word just to have peace.(its hard but it work)
many times people  cannot experience  true happiness in a relationship  is because  they might be holding something  in on the inside about the other person which gives them synthetic happiness with the other individual. have you ever wondered why  something just wouldn’t work? or why are you and your partner always arguing? maybe its because they have done something in the past that you have not forgiving them for and it always gets in the way.for a relationship to work you must be open to forgiveness because everyone makes mistakes.forgiving a person opens up a new bond between the two you are able to look pass what ever things that were done wrong to you,and began a new start which will help you be happier in a relationship.
cultivating a happier relationship also deals with being open minded in cultivating over finding(page 120 say’s you must be willing) society say that there is a right person for every one.which i donnot believe is true it is your choice to change that theroy.every relationship haves its ups and downs  and if you spend your life looking for the “right one” by the time you find them it will be too late to enjoy them.i believe that if you find someone that you are interested in and they are interested in you as well you can make it work.if two people are willing to do what ever it takes to build happiness in a relationship it can happen.
happiness begins with you it is soley based on each individual who wants it.something as simple as creating an happy environment  changes the people around you .happiness in relationships are significant it helps build a long lasting bond.to become happier in a relationship evaluate what ever problems are at hand .see what issues are getting in the way or your happiness  be willing and open minded to changes and it will work.

happiness at work

HAPPINESS AT WORK

I am currently employed at Burger king i am not happy were i work.i work there because i need to independently take care of me and my son.i needed a job that have flexible hours and do not require much work because i have other responsibilities.if i was not picking up a check every two weeks i would never work there. i hate the uniform the hat covers my beautiful face and i cannot wear certain hair styles because of the hat.i do not like that customers take advantage and be very rude and disrespectful because they thing fast food workers are beneath average workers which is not true.if there were no fast food worker show would you eat when you just want to grab something? an every fast food restaurant's doesn't pay minimum wage,so some people get a decent check.i honestly do like my job i would rather stay home with my son but we have needs so i work. i am responsible and i have bills not many but  there still there.
The activity we did in class with meaning purpose and pleasure actually made me question myself about my future career i always wanted to be a mortiton for the money mostly but after researching their salary i think i might change my mind and look for a career that i will be happy in,something thing that i am passionate about .the activity we did in class help me conclude that i need to be in an environment were i can help someone,give advice,and talk.(i need to make a lot of money as well) so now i am going to do some research and see if i can find a career right for me were i can help someone and be there mentally.my partner Jessica suggested a councilor and that might be a good idea but not a school councilor maybe a drug or abuse councilor.what ever i do in life i have to make sure it fit me and i can make a good living.
I believe that happiness in work Will bring success in someones career it will also prevent wasting time. i am happy i thought of this now instead of twenty years later at least i will be happier at work with my future career (when i decide on one)

paper number one

 INTRO
The greatest dision that i have made is to challenge myself to control my emotions so that i can have happiness in education.I will chanllenge my emotions by directing my negative energy in a positive directions so that i can transform my feelings about school.A problem that i had been facing for a long time was dealing with my personal life situatuions and carring the emotions that they bring with me every were i go and let them interact in everything i do. Emotions are a mental state that arises spontaneously rather than through conscious effort and it often occur with physiological changes.
CHALLENGE
Some emotions that i am dealing with is overwhelmed and fear of completion.I feel that overwhelmed because i am a single mother,i work,and i attend school.It is taking a toll on me emotionally because i am determind to succssed at each job i have.sometimes those emotions interfere with my happiness in education because its hard to be happy in school when you are stressed at work.it is also very difficult to study,do homework and pay attention when you have a infant to care for.i have very good intentions to sucseed and become happy in education but many times my emotions get in the way.
SOLLUTION
Inorder to controll my emotions i have to find a way that can work for me.i have acepted that i am not superman and i will not be able to get every job done.what i will do is do my best at everything i do and work up to my speed .i can cut down some hours at work in order to have more free time.with that free time i can study more.instead of going to bed late i can go to sleep earlier so that i can wake up earlier to do homework.even though its hard sometimes i can cut down and our or two of play time with my son .i can put him on a schedual so that i will be able to get the proper rest so i can be attenetive at work and school.these changes can help me harnest that fact that i have a lot on my plate and get things done at a decent pace so that i can minimize my emotions to find happiness in education.
STRENGTHS
what will help me control my emotions so that i can have happiness in education is my determination and my son who motivates me.I am determind to be someone in life because i want whats best for me and my family.even in public school my teacher told me i take anishitive and that stuck with me threw college.if i want to have happiness in education i have to be determind because everything is not easy and having that edge that pushes me on when subjects get tough will get me through.even though my son takes alot of time out of my day he is what keeps me strong .without him i probably would have gave up on education.instead i look at him and see education optomisticly .it makes me think to get the highest level of education so that i can pass it on to him and he can experience the happiness of education earlier on.
SOLLUTION
to ensure that i remain determind and keep my motivation i will make sure i control my emotions.i will not let stress on my job or doing evrything with my son overwhelm me to the point that i donnot find happiness in education.

the tunnel of happiness in education

After twelve years of school i can finally agree that their is happiness in education.School has been a interesting journey for me.The beginning of the tunnel i love school because i took naps,played with toys,and ate snacks.Midway through is were i experinced traffic lights.i had a couple of stop signs a few teachers who pushed me and said go.i came across many hills were at times i felt up and times i felt down.one sign that stood out the most was the bright yellow sign that says STRAIGHT AHEAD that is the sign that keeps me going and reminds me never to stop learning.
for a long time i thought i did not like school but actually evaluating the situation i realized i do not like to fail.
math is one subject that i feel has always been a battle for me.i still have trouble with math to this day.math was always hard for me because i didnt really pay close attention.that is one subject that requires alot of effort science has always been an interesting subject for me.i enjoyed new experiments and it always kept me alert.school has its  pros and cons as everything eles in life.(pros-highly educated,better job,more knowledge,meeting new people,expressing yourself,build skill,learn how to excelll in life)(cons-FAILING,waking up early,school lunch,mean teachers,peer pressure,bullies,alot of work,phone calls home,not moving on to the next level) i make my ride smoother by excepting the fact that education is what i need in order to sucseed in my carea .i often tell myself i have a goal, i have to pass,if i dont want to fail i must work harded.If i am not satisified with the grades that i am reciving study more,get tutuoring,read more.
 being happy in education is significant because you will prosper more and faster no one wants to do something and be mad at the fact their doing it.thats when you will start to fail and thing negative of  education.you have to keep your eye on the prize.having a goal always keep me optomistic about education.There are people to help and the knowledge is their all i have to do is go for it and do not except failure as an option .

natrual happiness

Natural Happiness is a challenging topic for me since most of my time i am upset and i would like it to become happier. It is also a topic for me to learn from it stood out to be significant to me because i always question myself when will i ever be happy and to stay happy.I learned that natural happiness is what i want instead of synthetic happiness which i was settling for (I never knew their was a difference).When the word happiness comes to mind you think optimistically,not know that their are two different types of happiness synthetic and natural.Natural happiness comes from within as synthetic happiness is something put together.To me natural happiness is a permanent feeling,while synthetic happiness is a temporary feeling.
When thinking of natural happiness my son is the first thing that comes to mind.The love i have for my son is unconditional.He is unique in his own way.when he smile it makes me smile.When we wake up in the morning and see each other it brings joy. What made me sure  that it was natural happiness was that it doesn't have to be a particular occasion or special moment with him that makes me happy.Just me being around him or thinking of him makes me happy.Even
when he bites me or throw up after i just changed his clothes i still have to smile,weather its bad or good he still make me happy.
Natural happiness is something that is beneficial to everyone.It even affects the people around you in a positive way they can become happier just by the energy that you give off.Natural happiness also create better environment's and better relationships for one another.Image if the world was full with natural happiness it would be such a peaceful place.people would  also live longer being happier.Take my advice that happiness is the key and you will never go wrong being happy.
EVERYONE CHEERS FOR HAPPINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
