Happiness (Mind-state)


I am happy for everything in my life 

I am happy for the parents I have 

The friends I conversate with 

The house I live under 

The food I eat 

Even if I did not have those things, I will still be happy 

 

That happiness uplifts me 

It helps me think of life in a different way 

I am not sad for the things I want 

If I do not have something

That is one less thing to be worried about if I lost it

Even if I did not have those things, I will still be happy 

 

Happiness as a trait itself is the thing that uplifts me 

It brings forth my way of thinking 

Do I need things to be happy? 

No, only the trait itself. 

I possess a trait that only comes to you if think of it that way 

As long I have happiness, I will always be happy with the things I have
