Happiness

Like you, I have met many
who do not make us smile;
they make you feel like life on Earth
never was worthwhile;
as though the Cosmic task had now
failed in its course
or moved to another project
with less to give remorse

So many seeking happiness,
yet know not where to look;
and if not found amid the world
they settle for a book !

But who, amid such dismal throng,
give an ounce away,
of the thing which they are seeking
for themselves that day ?

It is quite true that happinessis
not quite what life's about,
but it is an essential quality
which is hard to be without.
But neither is it difficult
to create it by your will;
and to give... it costs you nothing !
And if YOU don't... who then will ?

But then again, once in a while,
a passing face will beam,
like the innocence of childhood;
the answer to a dream.
For Man on Earth to be Divine
he does not become a god,
nor the power of creation,
nor waves a magic rod.

To be Divine he simply lives
and emits the spark within;
the spark of Nous Eternal,
which came to Earth with him.

But that, of course, IS MAGIC;
that you can make folk smile,
by bringing forth within you
to make this world worthwhile.
It is quite true that Earthly forms
can give such thing away;
but how much more if conscious minds
did as much each day ?
And surely, I would ask you,
that a conscious mind can do
what a Tree, or Sunset,
can ever come to do !

Happiness

IN PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS :
We convince ourselves that life will be better afterwe get married, have a baby, then another.Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enoughand we'll be more content when they are.After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when ourspouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicercar, are able to go on a nice vacation,or when we retire.
The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now.If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges.
It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you haveand treasure it more because you shared it with someone special,special enough to spend your time with...and remember that timewaits for no one.So, stop waiting--until your car or home is paid off--until you get a new car or home--until your kids leave the house--until you go back to school--until you lose ten pounds--until you gain ten pounds--until you finish school--until you get a divorce--until you get married--until you have kids--until you retire--until summer--until spring--until winter--until fall--until you die
There is no better time than RIGHT NOW to be happy.Happiness is a JOURNEY, not a destination.So -- work like you don't need money,Love like you've never been hurt,And dance like no one's watching.
