If only.....................then I would be happy..... You hear it all the time. If you're not happy without someone. Then you won't be happy with them. No one can make you happy or bring you happiness Happiness is not a new car, or a new job It's not new clothes, a new hairdo, or a new figure. It's not more money. It's not a new lover Nor a proposal of marriage Happiness does not result from the things which you posess. Neither is it something that someone can give to you, like a gift. It can't be bought, borrowed or stolen. Can't be given, offered, nor forced on anyone. It's a state of mind A state of being. A prevailing attitude. Regardless of who you are with, or without Wether you are alone, or in a crowd In love, or freshly discarded Found someone, or lost someone. Enduring poverty Or living in a penthouse Happiness is how you look at things. It's opening the door, to only what makes your heart glad. Seeing the beauty in everyone's face Feeling the ray of hope, during the storm When you learn to be happy within yourself and with yourself, Then you will become a healthy companion Capable of loving and giving and sharing. While watching children in a third world country, on TV one day..... I noticed They had no shoes. Their clothes were torn and tattered. The commentary said that they only ate Once, every two days, And that they worked 12-18 hours each day. They were carrying large heavy loads on their shoulders. And yet they were singing in French, "Ditez-moi pourquoi la vie est tres belle" (Tell me why life is so beautiful.) It made me cry It made me think Think hard about happiness. .... |
