Inherently Happy

Happy Shame - Ep. 379

Shame is painful humiliation or distress,
The feeling that you’re a complete and utter mess,
But Happy Shame is the opposite of that,
It’s being immune to feeling like a doormat.

Happy Like You - Ep. 378

If you can keep mindful of one simple fact, 
That you were born Happy, which you can't counteract--
Then patient compassion can have an impact, 
Allowing you to stay grateful even while being attacked.

378 - Happy Like You
The place you wanna get back to

We begin as always 
with the Happy Creed.

We believe in Happy, 
in Balance and Growth, 
of being Mindful and Grateful,
Compassionate and Understanding.

Yowza
Haha
My Happy Friends!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it agains

We all start out Happy,
With Balance and Growth and such, 
But as we age we forget
to practice it all that much.

Practice requires willpower and discipline,
To constantly develop that link,
To prevent being a Happy has-been
Wishing you’d taken the time to rethink.

When you’re Happy, 
you’re naturally Nice and accommodating,
Telling the truth without discriminating,
Being helpful and facilitating,
Which you may find endlessly invigorating.

Then you’ll wonder--
Why be Mean to folks when you can be Nice instead?
You’ll be less likely to catch a kick to the head,
Which could go a long way in keeping you not dead,
Or raising your blood pressure every time you see red.

I myself 
don’t have any fancy stuff, most of my stuff is old,
I have nothing encrusted in diamonds or made of 24 karat gold,
I never started a family, I don’t have pets, I only have stories yet untold,
And as much life as I have left in me to allow them to unfold.

And yet I maintain my Balance and Growth by being Mindful of one simple fact,
That we are all born Happy and can connect to it at any time, to be exact,
Though it requires patient concentration to be able to stay Grateful while being attacked,
But having Compassion and Understanding can have an absolutely profound impact.

Just that one little perspective adjustment can help focus you on Hope instead of Hate,
It can show you similarities instead of differences--even in people who make you irate,
It can attune you to music of the spheres and keep your Happy awareness up to date,
Just by thinking of Balance and Growth whenever you have a chance to speculate.

HaHa

Happy Alone - Ep. 377

You want to find a place to be Happy Alone, 
Where you’re just Happy to be on your own, 
Where you don’t feel scared of the unknown, 
And your mind isn’t a mental combat zone.

Happy Hard Times - Ep. 376

Hard times there will always be, but knowing they can be reframed and countered with moods,
The very same moods that grew up out of the Hard Times themselves, well, that’s solid gold!
So, take that anger and bitterness and aim it straight at your pain and all that includes,
And say, "I don’t care if you think you own me, Hard Times, you don’t! And you’ll do as you’re told!"

Happy Calm - Ep. 375

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.

Happy Expression - Ep. 374

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!

Happy Suggestions - Ep. 373

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 - Ep. 372

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 - Ep. 371

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 - Ep. 370

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.
