HAPPINESS
Always focusing on positives.
An expectant state ‘sans’ dread.
A constant smile inside that radiates.
Feeling comfortably part of everything.
Accepting what is; looking forward to what might be.
An elusive state of ‘aliveness’ for those without hope.
No Mondays, no taxes, no loses, no frustrations, no stress, no
faults, no pain.
A utopian state in which nothing is necessary and everything is
available; not to be found on earth.
An incentive in a Grandiose Scheme to nurture potential while
being prodded and rewarded by love.
An imagined feeling, hoped for and encouraged by brief moments
of camaraderie, comfort, satisfaction, pleasure.
-
Perhaps corporeal life is a
preamble to a more stable, tranquil existence.
-
Perhaps our most common
mistake in pursuing happiness is that we seek it from
without.
-
Perhaps living life
optimistically knowing that you are growing with purpose is
essential for peace.
-
Perhaps this brief life
process is but a chrysalis state for a growing spirit
sensing the imminent joy of release.
-
Perhaps eating popcorn,
cookies, cake, candy, ice cream tell us that even the
sweetest things leave us wanting.
-
Perhaps childlike glee can be
sustained by sharing uninhibitedly with complete confidence
in receptiveness.
-
Perhaps knowing a little more
and caring a little more are the only endeavours practiced
daily that make life worthwhile.
-
Perhaps true joy in life can
only be felt when ‘giving’; perhaps that is why there are so
many frustrated, angry, self-serving people.
-
Perhaps the impediments of
memory and dread can determine you ‘til your dead, perhaps
you must focus now on what’s best and always keep worry at
rest.
-
Perhaps expectations
concurrent with … challenges, changes, seeking, joining,
coupling, traveling, eating, drinking and a host of other
activities … perhaps these expectations, not their
realizations, dominate our consciousness; perhaps we can
never find contentment much less happiness because we are
always in state of forward motion.
