Inherently Happy

Stress is like gripping the prickly husk of a chestnut with your bare skin,
You know it hurts, but you don’t want to risk losing your nut so you hold on,
And then you try going about your day ignoring the massive pain you’re in,
Hoping it’ll all be worth it and that the self-imposed curse will magically be gone.

While the seasons may bring some sadness and depression, 
Along with work, crowds and weather making it tough to advance,
One way of dealing with it is through Happy Expression,
So, go ahead and dream, draw, chat, write, sing, dress up and dance!

While I feel strongly that emotional health can benefit your life,
These are not orders or commands that must be obeyed,
They are merely Happy Suggestions to help you deal with pain and strife,
Much of which stems from all of the decisions you’ve made.

Happy Wisdom is just a bunch of thoughts,
Things we merely think and hold on to even so,
Fussing and a fighting and never letting go,
Will only twist and tie ourselves into painful knots

Happy Morality comes from within,
We all have Balanced Growth, but sometimes we forget,
But keeping that in mind is what helps us to win,
Letting us stay Nice regardless of the threat.

Happy Service doesn’t mean constantly giving,
For you’d very quickly run out of all that you own,
Instead it’s more about caring, sharing, and living
With the feeling that none of us is ever alone.

Happy Resourcefulness means being able to solve problems and adapt,
To navigate through any obstacles previously unmapped.
When you encounter the unfamiliar, do you give up or search for clues?
Whether you quit or look for solutions, you become whatever you choose.

The power of wishing comes from admitting to yourself what you want,
turning your idle ruminations into something far less nonchalant,
something with intention and direction--a mental kickstart when feeling stuck,
which prepares you to seize opportunities, the very definition of Luck.

Ep. 114 - Happy Luck

Give yourself Happy Say-So 
to say yes to what you like and no to what you don’t, 
No one else gets to decide your tastes for you, 
as they’re based upon what you will 
and what you won’t.

Take every chance to combat fear, sorrow and pain,
Challenge yourself to turn them into something that uplifts,
You’ll surprise yourself with how much strength you contain,
Life is the lesson that shows you such gifts.
