Tips For Perpetual Happiness

Today someone asked me What is enjoyment? How can one be happy every moment? This lead to some reflection and introspection Is it possible to be happy in every situation? Some are so bad They do make you sad So what is the solution? Solution are there for those who want They will not work if you say I just can't First is positive attitude in life This will surely end all your strife If whatever happens, happens for good Nothing can ever spoil your mood Second is absolute faith in God A faith which says he cannot be bad For my good he does everything That is right thinking Third is living in present Enjoying your work every moment If you do this throughout the day You will be happy I can surely say Keep your mind on the work in hand It works like a magic wand For concentration and happiness go hand in hand Lastly keeping the mind thoughtless is the key to absolute happiness If you find this hard to practice Here are some easy tips Look at the world with the wonderment of a child This will surely make you smile Fill your mind with happy thoughts of future and past To negatives if you cling only sadness they will bring Enjoy the beauty of things near Look at their colour Feel their texture Observe their figure And be happy forever Relish the food you eat Watch it becoming feast Have no desires For they take away your smiles Laugh aloud for no reason It will make you a happy person These and many such small things, go a long way In giving you happiness, all throughout the day If you greet everything with a smile Happiness will prevail all the while 9th February 2021 Inspired by : Joy continuum contest Premier contest winner 8th position Sponsor : Unseeking Seeker Now submitted to Contest Name : Encourage Sponsor : Regina McIntosh

I doubt anyone can have perpetual happiness. But we must strive to be happy most of the time. Your tips are wonderful. ~~

Thanks Victor. I agree with all that you say. We have to try. Tough indeed, but if we try we are definitely more happy than when we don't.
