Happiness Redefined

Aug16

Love To The World

Many people have difficult conditionings
That create the illusion of being happy.
For example, by putting other people down
One prevents oneself from always wearing a frown
So it’s just a distraction that can easily
Be seen through unless one tries to complicate things.

In the workplace and at home the drama plays out.
“The way that I’m going to trust myself and feel
Good about myself is if I can just denounce
Someone else upon whom I’ll get others to pounce.”
Some scapegoating is required to block out what’s real.
Happiness isn’t even worth thinking about.

Compassion is a weakness to those who believe
That you’ll just lose your power and burn yourself out
If you care about others but it’s never true.
Happiness is a measure of how much you do
For others. Of its value there can be no doubt.
It’s the best trick in the world to have up your sleeve.

We can redefine happiness so that it’s not
Just going after pleasure. We have a deep sense
Of connection to something much bigger than we
Can imagine. It’s easy to live happily
With compassion without any hint of pretense.
How you feel about others should matter a lot.

This Day Is Yours

Abreast Of Time

Congratulations! This is your day to let go
Of the past and the future and contemplate on
What right now has to offer. It’s such a fine day
For relaxing and letting the stress fade away
That’s built up over time. You can let it be gone.
You have much control over how this day will flow.

Review your expectations without memories
Of things that didn’t happen the way you preferred.
You will only bring them over into today.
Instead let inspiration guide you on your way
To wherever your heightened consciousness is stirred
To more clarity. This day you can take with ease.

Though you may or you may not be able to tell
How your expectations do materialize
You ought to take life easy and go with the flow
Of the provident universe. It wants to show
How much it can fulfill you so it is most wise
To line up with its purpose then you will do well.

It’s not anyone else’s. This day is for you
To do with as you wish. You may find true meaning
In your moments of solitude. You may become
An enlightened one. All of your power comes from
Your awareness of now. Forces are convening
For your welfare. There’s nothing much you need to do.

Today Is Yours

Mundane Bliss

The weird thing about time is that it comes and goes.
Tomorrow will make today just a memory.
Many months go by. They seem like weeks, and the days
Are like hours. Life’s velocity heavily weighs
On your conscience. You may miss out on the beauty
Of the moment with worry about how time flows.

You have the ability to write history –
To create a new story that will live with you
Forever. Think back to all the days leading up
To today. It is okay to drink from the cup
Of past blessings and all the dreams that have come true
And be thankful that you made it all come to be.

All the training and hours spent in preparation
For this moment are like a positive force field
Of protection. It’s good to feel safe and secure
You have done everything that you need to ensure
Your wellbeing. What you need to do is revealed
To you by the divine source of all creation.

Let the universe tell you that life is just fine
Now that you have discovered your place in the sun.
The world may have told you that you are not worthy
Of becoming the person that you want to be,
But let that be your reason to let everyone
Know that you are worthy because you are divine.
