Earning Happiness
"The content of our lives,
Is where happiness is derived
With the quality of the events,
Determining our contentment
Or unhappiness if that’s the case,
For any disappointment we’ve faced
Or a dream that burst,
Maybe someone else came in first
How we repair that which was broken,
Says more than words that are spoken
Easy to make an excuse,
Some people are so profuse
Pointing fingers,
That resentment lingers
Better to be resigned and accept,
What are your next steps
To improve,
Or choose
A path to find your success,
Around all of this duress
Because your desire to change course,
Is driven by an inner force
That pulls you up when down,
And wills you to “fight” another round
It is called strength,
Which our happiness is linked
With motivation to acquire,
Priorities we desire
So today choose your course,
Towards happiness and it’s source"
