Reaching From Inside

True happiness has to come from inside
Don’t pretend my friend
It won’t last
And it only hurts you in a long run
Try to be happy with yourself first
If you are not happy with yourself 
No matter what you try 
It won’t work
Why are you not happy with yourself?
Is it something you can do?
If there isn’t something you can do
Then ask God to change it
Don’t sweat the small stuffs
Let begone be begone
Don’t hang on to things
People that are weighing you down
Do an inventory
Take stock of what you have
The smallest to the grandest
Appreciate the little thing
Try to find the root cause of your unhappiness
And correct it
Don’t let it eat you inside 
Life is supposed to be enjoyed to the maximum possible
Stay away from negative people
And people that give you bad spirit
Your spirit can discern it
So trust it, okay?
So take care of that thing that is bothering you
And weed it
That is usually the root cause of the problem
It won’t go away if you ignore it
It only festers
And ooh, you don’t want to see the gucky things that come out
So clean it, okay?
And do it sooner
Than later
You don’t want to waste any more time
So go do it, okay?
Enjoy
