It’s a known fact that life is too short to spend in nursing animosity or registering wrong,
But yet the human race refuses to embrace the beauty of a positive life,
For the difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas for attaining happiness,
As in escaping from old ones that bared no fruit,
I wonder why it is so hard for us to enjoy the present pleasures, that surround us daily,
In such a way as not to harm our future pleasures.
It is believed that the key to freedom of happiness lies in ones power to control their thoughts,
But how easy is it for one to control these thoughts?
And as a result of the thousands of questions that follow our beliefs,
As well as those that hinders us from achieving our goals,
A struggle ensues and our pursuit for happiness becomes more difficult.
I refuse to live a life in the pursuit of happiness and so I strive to achieve life’s greatest gift…true contentment,
And to do this I shall be, in thought, a woman of action and will act as a woman of thought.
Often I have asked myself why we spell happiness with an ‘I’ and not a ‘y’,
And finally I have come to this conclusion,
Happiness cannot be achieved unless one put themselves ‘I’ first.
