4 Secrets Of Happiness I Recipe



Take one state of serene equanimity

cross with sincere contentment

combine with a lively curiosity

temper with positive experience

quiver with Christmas-eve anticipation

blend with a whirling passion

alloy with unadulterated optimism

infuse with belly laughter

interweave with threads of joy

manifest with an oomph of enthusiasm

mingle with eternal gratitude

coalesce with a pinch of ecstasy

couple with tender compassion

whip up with childlike playfulness

drizzle with an April sun shower

and fuse with unconditional love.


Put the mixture in your heart

for one lifetime to set.

Serves humanity



II
Unhappiness


I must feel my unhappiness

to create the void to fill with my happiness

I must feel my unhappiness

to make up my mind

to transform it into happiness.

I must feel my unhappiness

to create the rung in the ladder

to push back on

to elevate me into happiness.



III
Love & Acceptance


Happiness is seeing

the subtle hand of God

guiding your path.

It is accepting both

fortune and misfortune as teachers

and love

as its only lesson.



IV
Compassion

simple…
you die each day
for others
and when
you wake up
refreshed
renewed
reborn…
you die again
