Reasons Why We Need To Be Happy

In my previous article “how to be happy in life” I stated different ways to search for happiness and note that the happiness issue that I cope about is totally personal to be thorough. You will never see happiness separate from passion i.e the things you love and enjoy doing. In this article, you will find the hints on why we need happiness. Why is it important and the reasons why we should find our happiness: 


1. Happiness is our birthright: Everyone has the right to be happy in any ways. Remember the first caring and loving person is your mother, but whatever she fight for is your happiness throughout your existence. She doesn’t give up even when you get older. She doesn’t sleep when you are sad. She is always trying to find out ways for you to make it. This shows how important is your happiness to your mother. But I need you to know that she doesn’t do it for guaranteed, she does it for her happiness in return because it's her passion taking care of you and her comfort to be a mother of a happy kiddo.
So, a happy person pleases others but a sad confuses. When people confuse you, they keep you in isolation fearing that you would be a problem to their happiness. And all of this automatically demonstrate that we were born to do nothing else but to be happy.
2. It is a divine principle. [Romans 12:12] 
“Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer.” This shows you that happiness will also help you win your tribulations effectively.  1 Thessalonians 5:15-16 “Rejoice always!”   Psalm 32:11 “Be glad in the lord and rejoice, you righteous; and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!”   Isaiah 65:18 “But be glad and rejoice in what I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing, and her people a joy.” Happiness is also a master power to doing the right. It is an outcome of peacemaking, Proverbs 12:20 “Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but counselors of peace have joy.” Proverbs 14:10    Ecclesiastes 5:18-19. 
   Thus, we were created for nothing else but to be happy and worship God!

3. Happiness causes satisfaction, prosperity, joy and hope. 
If you didn’t know, everything we do expect our souls to get pleased as a final result; be it eating, clothing, singing, studying, loving,… So happiness is the only important thing one should seek.

4. Happiness is a give-back. 
In reference to Rwandan culture of partying, a happy man in the ceremony could bestow a cow to his friend or vice versa. The things you do when you are happy may not be that tangible but will always be in recollection. Anyway, let no one confuse happiness (the emotion of being happy, happy state/mood) with joy (a feeling of extreme happiness or cheerfulness, especially related to the acquisition or expectation of something good). I always talk about the inner feelings that are not even necessary to cause the physical reactions. It is not getting what you expected that much, but living sated throughout your life. It is never something occasional that you may strive for than a durable stuff.

Hogi Genda -Mwalimu LAKHPIN

Hashize iminsi iyo mu muhezo  
Maze haganza urubazo rwinshi
Ngo ingeri nyinshi ziri kurwanya
Gusoma kw'abo abanyamurava
Biracurerwa ngo ziratahe.

Nyir'ugusakazwaho amenge
Ati mba ndi umwe ntibikarangwe
Barihe nange byo si nge nange
Kuko uku kwezi ko kudapfuye
Nagana hehe ntegura inosi?

Buracya nigaba mu gahunda
Ngo ndere ubwenge ngira uko ngenda
Maze ubwo haza inkuru nyamwinshi
Ngo bane bose bage mu matsa
Aho rukumya yari ihashinze.

Hogi genda Mwambari
Ukuri kwawe ntitugushaka
Icyo dushaka turagaruze
Uwakubyaye na we umushake
Abuze kandi ugume iyo ngiyo.

Sinzi igamba ndi kumwe n'abo
Rukazantimba aba yunze cyane
Ati mugende mutatuganza
Kuko mugambye mwadusenya
Ibyo dushaka ntitubironke.

Ubwo agahinda kaba nk'ikiza
Kabona umwanya iyo mu gihumbi
Ubwo giseseka ndiye umwanda
Uyu utari uwo gucura incyuro
Ncira mu nda ncweza cyane.

Ngera Ruhuka mbara umunani
Ababibonye ngo umva umusinzi
Na ho aho nshinze ndi kuvumera
Na ko agahinda kari gukwira
Ijoro ryeze riba riraje.

Imbavu zose zo zirabizi
Kuko ziganje amavune menshi
Iyo naraye nteze urutambi
Mbara amasaha na yo aratinda
Ubwo iyo mu nda biradogera.

Buracya imanzi igaba ibishanga
Na bwo ububiko iyo ku mugongo
Ngo ijya gushaka uwo uyisemura
Kuko yaganjwe ngo yarariye
Ndetse ngo ibyiru ige kubishaka.

Mu bakoronga bayiha akato
Ngo hogi genda uzane abakonsa
Ikuru ryinshi dufite none
Abo mubana baratubwiye
Ngo ibyo wajishe ni bimwe byacu.

Ngera iw'ibyatwa
Kwacu ntazwi
Nzira kugamba ku icyo cyago
Ngo hora mwana nari nkumbuye
Kuko atanazi ishavu nge nsenze.

Indangamira y'umuco wera
Yarabatuje mbagana iteka
Muramburane ngewe mbasenge
Kuko naronse iryo ntanakeka
Umunya rwose urakaza icyavu.

Mpabutse cyane Rugerinyange
Kwa mvura icyuye ba bashi
Mu barya inkuna ngo bagaruze
Bagira imurika indengane zeze
Imwe ayo amezi apfa ataruhutse.

Izuba ryiza ry'umuserero
Ryamusanze muri Ruhuka
Umucyo wose azira kujunda
Impama yatse imugera mu nda
Azira indwara ya bo ababanyi.

Ijoro riza rituka abeshi
Ubwo agatwenge nkagira umwanzi
Ngonga inkingi nti sheri wange!
Uraje ngo undaze ijoro nyamwinshi
Ko nasereye nkabura undeba?

Ati oya Rwema sindiho rwose
Mfite aho ngiye ngemuye icyansi
Nkuvunye ihobe natinda
Icyunzwe cyaza maze nkarara
Nkagera iwacu mfite undi njyanye.

Nshigutse nsanga ndi kuzubara
Menya ko nsanze ndi mu rw'abandi
Ko icyo nge nshaka atari cyo ngomba
Nkomye mitende ubwo nsaba icumbi
Imbavu nzesa iyo ku mukeka.

Impara ishotse ariko inahejwe
Ngo impuhwe zize igire umutuzo
Bayiha imvuzo ngo ifite isindwe
Ngo isibo yayo ntiri na nziza
Ngo turarisha mpisi ko ubizi?

Insaramanzi ziba imidende
Uhize intwari ziba agashimwe
Murase wawe nageze i Banda
Ndetse na Winka ndayikakamba
Mbura n'ijambo rimwe riringa.

Iyo bihera ni Gicurasi
Ku rune rwayo ruyinga atanu
Ubwo ako kanya hava akazuba
Ndoye mu cyoko mba mpumye amaso
Kuko iyo rije riba rihumbye.

Ngarutse mpura na Nyuzizindi
Aseka cyane maze aza ansanga
Azi ko ntazi umuganga ajunze
N'ishyari ryiwe ngo ancace yumve
Agata abandi muri mikwege

Hashize akanya mbona agatebo
Karimo intongo nk'iya batanu
Gashoka aho nteye kaza kose
Abane baza aho bagatwaye
Bati gusonza keretse utazwi.

Inyoni zose ziraririmba
Ziti urarambe murase uraye
Waraye uriye urubeho rwose
Rurakurinzwe kuri maridi
Uraririmbe nibarusenda.

Kuva uwo munsi umusibo uraza
Nsekera bose bati urashyenga
Na hogi genda ndayirirmba
Cyono ngwino intera iyo ishuri
Ariko ngombwa uzatugaruza.

Impinga Itukuje Icyavu - Mwalimu LAKHPIN

Indoro nk'iyi basore b'ino            
Narayirebwe mbura aho nkwirwa
Haba abasaza b'i Nyamurango
Bahora bijimye mu gahanga
Ijwi rishima batarikurwa.

Habayo inkumya itajya ituza
Ya rukumbi ruhashya abandi
Mumararungu wa mukohonge
Wagize inama zikaba incyuro
N'urugo rwokamye abamusenga.

Impinga ituye iyifashe yose
Maze n'isuri iyimaze yose
Kuko n'uwaka uzira gucanwa
Inzoka mu nda zo ntizigamba
Kuko zitazi agacyo ko hanze.

Icyavu cyose kiraririmbwa
Ngo barayime kuko ibahana
Nka kurya kwezi gutuka abami
Bamwe b'ishyamba ngo bashye bose
Mu gice cyako gisa n'ibanza.

Nafashe impamba ngera iyo i Mwiza
Mbona Runyange n'abamureba
Bari gusenga ijoro nyamwinshi
Na ho Rutuza ati ntituranza
Iyi sahaha ni yo indya rwose.

Hashize iminsi nko mu kubanza
Rukumya impinga iba irahashinze
Iti gukunda ntibikarangwe
Ruhatwe ihaje irayibatwika
Ngo habe inyange zitavugishwa.

Maze ubwo inkingi iba rutagamba
Ingimbi zaho zibura igamba
Aho ziganje inshyi zikamora
Iyo abaryama babura irota
Ingeri iganje iti ndabarenze

Narahabaye mpamara iminsi
Ndetse mu mwaka mpava gakeya
Nti ese iyo nsangwa imenyera bose
Ibuza abana kuvuza ubwana
Irabajyana muri mubyeyi?

Nti aho ga mpinga naragukunze
Umenye rwose ko wari mwiza
Ariko umunsi ugira iyi ntego
Wasize isura isasiye icyago
Keretse umunsi ubuze rukumya

Si ugusinda si no guhanda
Si igusanza si no gusumya
Ni ugusenda umujinya-mwaga
Kuko iyi ngenga itagira ituza
Wenda n'ejo ikagira ituro.

Hinga ntimbe ntari bucyahwe
Ntari butabwe muri komini
Kuko iriboye ntajya mpacyurwa
Nkanswe iyo ngiyo muri mikwege
Ntajya mpareba inkuyo ya ngombwa.

Ubu narumiwe naca amenyo
Kuba aho hantu ni nk'umukanda
Uvuga icyanya bakagushwima
Ukuri kwawe ubwo ukaguhorwa
None mpaze gutegwa iminsi.

Nk'ubu nk'ejo nageze i Rwanda
Na ho iyo ndata Kigeze mwumva
Iba ari nyandwi mu kuba isonga
Abayituye ni bo babizi
Ndetse iyo nduru ibuza amahwemo.

Ndetse na n'ubu mfite agahinda
Kuko nyikunda ikaba indya indunda
Na wo umuhezo nkaba nywubana
Iyo nakunze imbuza gukunda
Imfata nk;inyana itari nziza.

Inka ziganje zifite isura
Maze ubwo umwaku uje ziratana
Imwe iba irwaye ubutaka yose
Hashize iminsi ibugeza izindi
None zose ubu zirarembye

Karabaye ubwo ziraranza
N'inkuyo yazo na yo iratabwa
Na two udushingwe ntitukigwira
N'ayajya injome ntiwayagwiza
Zimira yose ntizikirisha.

Kubw'iyi nkumya mfitiye ubwoba
Nsize dukeya kuko tugamba
Ntava aho mpimba imbyino ntashaka
Kuko icyo cyasha gifite ishozi
Turashishoze kitadushwanya.

Ngaho tuza ntafata ikoti
Kuko ndashaka kumenya hirya
No guta itoto mbona ubirwanya
Na runo rwanda ruriho none
Rufite kumpa akaroro kanjye.

Dore iyi nkumya ifite uko igenza
Kuko ab'i Ntora bo barabizi
Na Kanyarwanda abibona kera
Kuko imuhanira ku kijisho
Kigeze nkunda menya umubano.

Ni agasaza na ko agasongwe
Gasaze disi kari gusongwa
Umunsi nk'uku gasaba ituze
Ubumwe-ngenga bubone ikaze
Ingeri zose zigire ingingo.

How To Be Happy In Life?


It is not uncommon that everyone on this planet seeks happiness through his/her ups and downs, though many people died without a small taste. This is what everyone wakes up every day searching. Many people say that it is not that simple to be happy and so many believe it might not be possible to get happy. There is a small number of people who believe that happiness is something possible to get. In many ways of life, the majority wins even when the facts do not demonstrate the truth in what the majority has agreed on. But it obviously not true to assume that the majority is truthful all the time.
Back to “happiness” issue, everybody’s experience may define it the other way from another. But the truth will remain on even though people would never want or try to think about it. According to Wikipedia, Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.
  1. The one way people seek their happiness differs from what I am going to talk about in this article. Don’t fear for tomorrow: the fear of the tomorrow’s life is a big problem to everyone in this world but we don’t exactly see the impact of that fear onto our lives. Tomorrow, if you were able to make it the way you want, you should have done it. So, because it comes the way it wants and no one ever changed it, the solution is to live your today better and make sure you maximize it. But remember to never do any harm towards yourself. 
  2. Follow your passion. Following your passion is not proving people wrong but doing what you love/enjoy doing. “It is our birth-right to be happy”, Gil Alon. Keep in mind that I you choose to follow your passion. You will face different sides against you but all you need to do is just keep going. You will never need whether people like it or not but mind if it gets you happy. This is the thing you mostly care about, the one that fills your heart safety in harmony and enjoyments.
  3.  Don’t ever work for applauds and try to be the original “you” in anything you love or try to do. You will be sad if you think people will like you and at the very end don’t. So please do the best you can only following what your heart tells you is 100% not harmful to it, whether today or after today.
  4. Elude anything that might be a ban on your feelings and emotions or that might whisper that you are unable.
  5. Be cooperative as much as it takes with anybody and never set you up with so many principles on your life unless they are intending to provide a peaceful attitude towards the community.
  6.  Take love as one of the many things that may bring you happiness, but it might not be the only one for you.
  7. Take much introspection as long as you move on.
  8. Rely only on you in every kind of act. This does not tell you to forget others’ help but you will never think of it till when it comes will be an added surprise. This will help you to keep the mood of happiness. 
  9. Self-principle: Setting your own principles is not bad at all. It is setting the Does and Don’ts to follow by yourself. It doesn’t matter if people do not see them like “you”. Of course they won’t because you have got to be the original “you” not them; and they have theirs. So be yourself in everything and never try to learn another “you” ‘cause “you” already exists-all you need to find out “you”.
  10. Don’t stuck on the right for people around you but the best in them and righteous in your heart and by your concern.
    Say a big 100% No to the things you refuse and be on it, and say a big 100@ Yes to the thing you accept and think are true. Never be in between because you can be confusing and make sure you won’t regret whatever position you take.                      
  11. Avoid taking responsibilities over your ken and know it – when it happens you didn’t know so and it finally set you up, never blame yourself on how you got in there, just don’t complain, accept it like that and rejoice for that life experience.                     
  12. Avoid much expectations because this may result to never happen and you begin feeling depressed.       
  13. Pray to God every day, tell him each and everything about you. But my advice is conditional: Don’t expect tangible things from God other than peace of mind and being relieved. This will not only create the spirit of hard working but again freedom and a safe heart.

Umwari Wa Mutangana by Mwalimu LAKHPIN

Rebe ndangamira ryuje ubututu
Ritunze umutuzo iteka ryose
Biterera amatama atunze yose
Gutengerana ubutuze atitsa
Itara atwaye riruta itoto.

Wanze indyarya unkunda utanga
Untora mu bandi untera ubwema
Untera kwanga bamwe b’indyarya
Bamwe bakundira amafaranga
Ashize bose bakaguhunga

Rebe ndangamira ntaganzwa
Ubaye umwumba wange wose
Mbumbatiye umubyimba wese
Ngo urambane nange iteka
Ngukwere isura yawe isabanye

Ngwino nkuraze mwiza wange
Ngwa mu gituza ucurike amaso
Urwo rutanganwa turupfane
Tutarutwarwa na yo amatage
Duhore tweze imbuto z’ingenzi

Na yo amagambo urage uyaryoshya
N’ubusugi usendereje mu maso
Inshuti zawe zifate itiku
Ngo zidutanye tutazisumba
Ntizibibashe kuko wankunze

Turagasangira na yo amazi
Aho atanyobwa ho ni mu mwaga
Maze nkurote nkurora wese
Mfate urukundo naruguhunda
Ndusukwe nawe mutesi wange.

Menye ibyo ukunda rugori rwiza
Na byo ibyo nkunda ubimenye byose
Umugobe uzaza tube duhaze
Ibyano byawe ntibimunge
No kwizerana turi nk’abandi.

Reka ngukunde birute iby’ejo
Utwo tugambo tuneza nkunda
Mpore ngukumbuye iminwe yawe
Nta nkumbi zitabitse mu rwacu
Nzire igihunga untamike utuzi

Mpa urwo rukumbi mwiza wange
Naruguhaye nkibikubwira
Ubwo nkubwira nti umva mukunzi
Maze iyi minsi ikaba idusanze
Ntsikiye cyane kimwe wambitse

Nguhaye wese isanzure
Kandi ndazi nawe ni uko
Sasa agasuna dusaye twembi
Ndahiye nshyenga bimwe bishima
Ruyange rwuje urwuri rwange

Hirwe rihimbye rihora aheza
Rihora ryenze burya buhozi
Wanze ubuhemu uheza abandi
Umponga impamba y’ukuri kwawe
Sinaguhombye uri rudasendwa

Umuze nsanze utawuzimana
Nzira no kumva ugumya nka bose
Na bwo kuzarira ubizimbe
Umpoze umpunze iryo rugu ryawe
Inseko yawe na yo inyakire

Mwari mwiza wa Mutangana
Turo ryo mu itiro rigutuwe
Umutoni utanganwa mu batoya
Tetero ryita kuwaritoye
Tora utohagire mu cyate.

Tiro ritunze iteto ritakwa
Rwatabyate mu mutima
Mpa urukundo nzagusiga
Saro rinsakira, nso,nsereko insumbije inso
Nzajya aho nkeka nagusanga

Umunsi umbwira karya kajambo
Mbona ko unkunda by’ukuri kandi
Naragukunze nka kurya kw'ifi
Narakurebye nk’igishushanyo
Mbura aho nkwirwa kuko wantashye

Nageze iwacu ari mu kabwibwi
Ngerayo inkweto zizira akondo
Kuko nagendaga mu birere
Njya mu mashusha hamwe n’inkweto
Mbyina ndahimbye iz’urunyenyeri

Ubwo uwo munsi sinanariye
Nafashe akanya ngusaba Imana
Ngo ijoro rindi ntirikurenze
Nti rike wenda ndi bugusange
Maze ngutake ndeke gusinda

Ryaratinze bishyira kera
Kubw’amahirwe nyoni zigambye
Ngira ngo uraje uri kuririmba
Dore ko uganza inyoni zibizi
Iryo jwi ryawe rizimya iryazo

Uruhebuza ni rwo ruhanga
Umusatsi wawe usana iyo sura
Ndira nkubonye nka cyo ikibumba
Inkesha nkesha ishusho nyamwinshi
N’indoro yawe ihogoza indebyi.

Gira uze unsange dore ndakumba
Rwogere nshaka uru rw’imitari
Mba iyo riterwa inkingi n’inkeke
Umva ko nshaka amafu ayo untera
Akari keza undere igituza.

Ubika amaso ndore ibyo byiza
Utambe inganji ndore iyo ngendo
N’ijoro hihi urimo agacanyi
Kamwe gasumbirirje igitondo
N’amanywa areba akazira kwira

Intoki zawe ni nk’umuringa
Uko zitonze aho ku kiganza
Zifutse idogo zizira indonyi
Iyo uzihunze amatama yange
Zisa na cyuki zikandembya

Imbaya nkawe sinakwanga
Urira neza nkarora urwayi
Ayo mabere ari nk’uruyego
Ibitugu byiza ni nk’akayeye
Koko uri mwiza uruta zeruji.
