Formula for Happiness

AS ANOTHER DAWN ARISES BE THANKFUL THAT IT DID ARRIVE.
WISH “GOOD MORNING” TO THE MIRROR AS IF IT WERE ALIVE.
THE FIRST PERSON YOU SEE, EMBRACE AND EXCLAIM, “I LOVE YOU! ”
THEN APPRECIATE THE REAL TREASURES AS THEY PASS YOUR VIEW.

THROUGH EACH DAY ALL IS BRIGHT AS A SMILE PERVADES YOUR FACE.
IT’S A POSITIVE ATTITUDE NO TRAGEDY OR TRAUMA WILL ERASE.
WHEN MISFORTUNE DOES OCCUR IT’S TIME TO CONSIDER ADAPTATION,
RATHER THAN FOCUS ON THE DEPTHS OF DESPAIR AND FRUSTRATION.

DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT IN LIFE IS OF ENDURING, GENUINE WORTH,
SO YOUR SPECK OF TIME IS PRODUCTIVE, YET CHRISTENED WITH MERTH.
ABOVE ALL, MAKE LOVE THE CENTER OF EACH AND EVERY ACTION,
AND AVOID ALL THOSE GREMLINS THAT CAUSE YOU DISSATISFACTION.
