These moments of Joy can be associated with something physical, like material things, or non-physical things like achievement, emotions, and so on. For me, one of the physical things, my people, it is Light ooh. In a world where we should already be having a 24-hour supply of light, I am currently experiencing little or no light, and this is really draining mentally. So, anything I am thinking about the cost of powering my Generator and other things, I feel down, and even sometimes when I don’t have enough funds, I would be wishing and praying for Light.
There are some moments when I am completely down mentally and physically, but the moment light is restored, I get this sense of excitement and adrenaline rush, and this would completely change my mood. I would be thinking of how to charge, pump water, watch movies, and so on. That’s why, for me Light is one of the few things that changes my mood completely, and the same can be said for when they took the light too.
Another thing that can change my mood spontaneously is Credit Bank Alert, and many of us can properly relate to this. You know that feeling when you are not expecting any money, and you just receive that alert notification, which automatically puts a smile on your face (the power of money). There are even times when, after completing a job, I would be waiting for the credit alert, and the moment it enters, that’s when I feel completely satisfied.
Last but not least, what comes to mind is achievements, no matter how little or great is able to change my mood too. You know that we all have one or two things that we had set out to achieve, and it might not be realized immediately, but the moment we succeed, we get this sense of fulfilment. I still remember a few years ago, when I tried fencing part of my late dad’s compound. It was not easy, but we were able to achieve it, and I had wished that he was alive to witness it, and guess what, that night I dreamt about him, and he told me he was proud of me, and that feeling is one of my most treasured moment and I love to relive it over and over again. I don't know if it was my imagination that made me dream about him or something spiritual, but I feel very happy in that moment (I totally forgot about the money spent).
Joyous moments might not last forever, but I would always value the ones I have, and I am always thinking of creating more.
