PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

What is happiness ? My mind posed a myriad questions,

In pursuit of happiness, I learned these few lessons .

To reach our dream goal ,we must start the ball rolling,

Don't concentrate on the finishing line ,but enjoy the bowling.

Our initial steps may falter and be small and imperfect,

With our sincerity,faith and trust we can overcome the defect .

We have the power for our life's choices and decisions,

Blaming others for our plight should never be our mission.

Learning to accept change is vital to our success and happiness,

When we change ,we grow and understand the world we witness.

Changes take place in our lives, irrespective of our desire,

Embrace them good or bad , inner strength  we acquire .

Let go what you can't control ,to be free of misery and frustration,

Change your attitude,focus on positive,life will be worth appreciation,

Quit talking down to yourself , it becomes very destructive,

Replace self doubt with  self belief ,your life become productive .

Don't criticize others ,focus on yourself ,stop seeing their flaws,

Accept your imperfections, keep so busy, no time to pause.

Don't run away from your problems and fears,face them bravely,

Take chances and make decisions , own them  ultimately .

Quit lamenting or living in your past , live  for now ,live for today .

Don't fret about your future , enjoy  life's  present pleasant play.

Love yourself,be yourself there is no one like you,you are unique,

Don't compare ,compete  or imitate that will make you weak .

Forgive yourself and others, it works wonders for your body and soul,

Love and kindness payed forward ,helps reach  your happiness goal .

No matter how you feel ,
Wake up each day with gratitude in your heart ,

Forget what you missed ,
Count what you have ,your day will get a head start !!!

Footnotes:-

The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase: if you pursue happiness you'll never find it.

What we need to pursue is to reach a state of mind  which is full of happy thoughts and you are at peace with yourself .

"Happiness is when … What you think , What you say and What you do are in Harmony   ~ Mahatma Gandhi
