My Secret To Happiness

My Secret To Happiness


Happiness is special
It’s something that can instantly change your feelings
When everything around you
Seems as if it doesn’t make any sense
When you feel down and depressed
Just wanting to cry for hours
When it seems like things will never get better
Just simply thinking of owning your favorite thing
Or imagining a successful future
Could instantly put a smile on your face

All those things could make you happy 
But deep in your heart 
You’ll know that isn’t true 
It will turn into greed
No, true happiness is being selfless
Giving up your last piece of candy
Just to make a toddler smile
Finding an orphaned baby bird and using all your allowance
So you can care for it until it’s big enough to be set free
Or seeing your baby brother take his first steps
For me, being truly happy is doing things that will make other people happy
And that is the real secret to happiness

Never stop dreaming, always dream and have confidence that I ve what it take to fulfill it, just have confidence, I think of million things that I ll do this and this, If it happens it s good but if it isn t just say goodbye and dream something new and even bigger, good luck
