How To Be Happy


“I am happy" Happier than an orphan who is adopted on Christmas And later returned to his previous conditions; "The hope was all I needed" Happy like a father who raises a daughter That was never his— blessed to have any kids. "I smile like a soldier" After losing one too many brothers who tastes victory; Enough for every one of them. Happiness is a perspective. Our eyes see, But our thoughts act as the lenses. Imagine blessings in place of stresses. Seek enough, not excess. Experience inner peace in depression. Every obstacle is a lesson. Exhale worries and feel the weight lessen. Taking one step back means taking two forward, Not regression. Happiness is a perspective and to be happy We must change our lenses.
