The multi-talented thespian had taken to his verified Instagram page on Monday, January 9, to share some surefire tips to living a happy life, and it generated massive reactions from his fans and followers.
According to Yul, a proud father of five with two beautiful wives, gratitude is the foremost secret to living a happy life.
He noted that a person who’s never grateful for what they have would never be happy.
His words,
“Always be grateful for what you have. If you keep looking at what you don’t have, you will never be happy. Be grateful for what you have, and be grateful for where you are and what you have achieved. I’m not saying you shouldn’t set goals for yourself or that you shouldn’t set targets.
The fact that you’re still alive means that you’re winning even if you haven’t achieved much. A lot of people died yesterday, and a lot of people are dying at the moment. The fact that you have life means that you are winning,” Yul Edochie said.

However, in a quite shocking reaction to the candid advice, a number of social media users dragged the actor, who had repeatedly come under fire online since revealing colleague Judy Austin as his second wife.
Although some agreed with his opinion, a host of others urged him to first take his own advice and decide whether he’s really happy.
