Why You’re Not Happy

Dec3

Strong Consideration

You’re about to leave college. The future although
Is uncertain for so many reasons. Your friends
Feel the same way. You don’t know what you want to do
With your life. You don’t know what the world’s coming to.
You’re not one to be naïve or one who pretends
That the world is without injustice and sorrow.

What makes you itch? What sort of a situation
Is ideal to you? What would you most like to do?
Ask this but leave money out of the equation.
Having done this you may have come up with just one
Thing that really excites the daylights out of you.
It’s most important that what you’re doing is fun.

Many people spend their lives in sheer misery
Doing what they don’t want in order to survive.
They’re not happy. Their dreams are not being fulfilled.
They no longer have the memory of what thrilled
Them from jump. They’re concerned about staying alive.
They’re not actualizing their reason to be.

It’s up to you to change the world that exists now.
We old ones have done quite enough damage and you
Are the hope of the future. Choose to be happy
In whatever you’re doing then the world will see
Better times. ‘Out with the old and in with the new’
Is your motto. The freedom of growth you’ll allow.

Do Life Differently

You are the aperture through which the universe
Is looking at itself and exploring the ways
It expands through your living your reality.
It is conscious of your consciousness completely.
In this sense, every human is worthy of praise
For a play where the actor gets not to rehearse.

What in life make you itch? What is it that sends you
Yodeling down the canyon in utter delight?
Poets, painters, and writers don’t earn all that much
Until they become famous. But why is it such
A big problem to make such ambitions alright?
College graduates haven’t a clue what they’ll do.

What would you do if money were not an object
Of concern? How would you really enjoy spending
You life? If riding horses on wild open planes
Is your thing, then perhaps teaching riding contains
All you want to fulfill you. There is no ending
To the ways of creating what will be perfect.

Do what you love, and forget about the money,
Because if money is the most important thing,
You’ll be wasting time doing things you’d rather not.
Your belief in your true self is all that you’ve got,
And it is of great value. The worth that you bring
To the world is by being who you’re meant to be.

The Perpetual Self-Creation of Being

Life is many life stages. All go through some change
Natural to their species. The best are recalled
That have been more than thrilling. That feeling sustained
Is the very one wherein all goodness is gained.
Is there something about life that keeps me enthralled?
This question is important and cannot be strange.

Graduated from college, I don’t have a clue
As to what I should do now. If things were such that
I could do what I wanted for maximum pay
A poet or a painter would be how I play
But they can’t earn a living. Should I then scoff at
What my heart wants me doing. What else could I do?

Well, if money is the most important thing, then
I will waste my life doing things that I abhor
For the purpose of living another workday
Which makes my spirit susceptible to decay
And without the volition to seek and explore
I am stuck and made powerless ever again.

Can I forget the money and do what I feel
Is the best thing for me and do it so damned well
That the feeling itself becomes satisfying?
If I do this ultimately it has to bring
On the kind of adventure that will break the spell.
I can then live a life that is truly ideal.
