Happiness is my Birthright

I don’t have to fight or snatch

Someone’s happiness

I don’t need to steal someone’s happiness

Happiness is the flavour of my soul

How do I get in touch with my happiness?

Practice a little contentment 

Don’t hold on to grievances 

Or cling on to regrets

Recalling old incidents

Of hurt & disdain

Is like eating stale food

Then why feed on stale thoughts 

And fetid bygones?

Bury the hatchet 

Let your life move on to fresh terrain

Of sunshine in rain

Count your blessings

 Name them one by one

Think of all that God has done

Then do a good turn to someone

Feel content

 Discontentment is a disease

Accept your present challenge

 As result of your past karma

Tackle it with dharma 

Forgive, forget, reset your mind

Distribute happiness, contribute happiness

Dole out and donate happiness

Serve happily 

Bless those that give you unhappiness

With happiness

Happiness is the alchemist of the soul

Neither bought nor sold.
