18. Tips 4 a happy living.

Happiness is the armor that makes us survive,
All the harshness that the world provides,
Happiness is the clothing of the peaceful world,
Which keeps us warm when the worlds cold.

Here I say the tips to thee,
I want you to follow, for it was followed by me,
It made me feel good, really good you see,
It’s a great feeling when you face the world smilingly.

There is no one quite like you, you see,
Not even your brother, your friend, or me,
So to be of the maximum help,
Don’t copy anyone just be yourself.

For the divine created you with a purpose,
If not then he’d have made you in surplus,
So say to yourself, “ the world needs me”.
And without me it cannot be.

There will be limitations in you and me,
That was the way he wanted us to be,
So love one and love all,
Don’t let your limitations make you fall.

Love yourself and you shall see,
The divine being you were meant to be,
For you are a color, and colors tend,
To mix with others and make a rare blend.

Each day is filled with many choice,
To select the good, select them with poise,
Use your time and energy shrewd,
Trust yourself, even if you are crude.

Trust your inner wisdom, your conscience,
Trust it because it values moral science,
Listen to that quiet voice within you tell,
Which of the choice for you is swell.

Then there are experiences, good and bad,
There are the ones that are really sad,
All experiences are teachers to be,
For it teaches what to do and when, to thee.

Encourage yourself, and heed right,
To all the challenges that life might,
Bring along, heed and you shall see,
That you are thru’ in a flash to be.

The world is really a beautiful place,
With it undying endless pace,
Enjoy yourself, and open your heart,
Lest you regret some day that you part,
Without seeing the life’s lot.

Enjoy nature, its sights and sounds,
Which are limitless, without any bounds,
And if at some point shortsighted you do become,
Remember this, time once lost will never come.

We have the greatest gift of life,
The one which creates much hype,
Go ahead, go a little further,
Celebrate yourself and initiate the merger.

Honor your every victory and achievement,
And in the course try to be tolerant,
If at some point you feel depressed,
Look back at life the good distance you’ve already tread.

Take time to visualize things important to you,
But at the same time think of others too,
Others are as important as you and me,
Express yourself, and be true to thee.

Express yourself, large and small,
And love everyone, one and all,
It would be easier for you to find,
A way of living that reflects you and the world which binds.

Within you there’s much to do,
Try doing it and try it true,
The only limits are those that you place on your own self,
Break all limits, challenge yourself.

By challenging yourself,
You’ll experience a world new,
Known only to the chosen few,
Complete with the drops of dew.

No one knows better than you,
What does happiness mean to you,
Go ahead and give yourself a treat,
And head for the happiness retreat.

Do not ever rely upon others that they,
Would bring in happiness for you,
You are the only one who can make,
Your deepest wishes come true.

Life is a precious gift and yet,
Hardly does anyone know, of whom I’ve met,
Instead of delighting in its pleasures,
People criticize it by measures.

Accept yourself, you should do,
With all your strength and shortcomings too,
No one’s perfect in this earth,
As we all ride in the lower berth.

A smile, a kind word, a helping hand,
Can really act as a magic wand,
Share yourself, bring a smile,
And let the person remember until he crosses the final mile.

Make a connection, however brief,
Help someone shed away his grief,
The light of love then shall be shining bold,
In the little corner of your world.

Thoughtfulness is a wonderful gift,
And it is real generous to give a person a helping lift,
At the same time do remember, you have needs too,
So go ahead and nurture yourself too.

As you blossom, your world would too,
Joy will take every step with you,
And in spring a fragrance will waft,
Which will cure every sick heart.

The final frontier, Adieus amigos
