Happiness is more than just a word, it's 1000 different words
Happiness is more than just a feeling, it's the meaning of life.
You will find that being materialistic and living in anguish,
just to seek social acceptance doesn't bring lasting happiness.
Lasting happiness happens when you learn to accept yourself,
and be thankful with what you have.
So when you feel like you're in a depp, dark, soulless hole,
and a deluge of sadness fills your heart,
here is my recipe for success:
Step 1: Fill your life with laughter, it will ease the pain.
Step 2: A tonne of love, share your love and more will come back.
Step 3: A dash of kindness, making others happy will make you happier.
Step 4: A spinkle of forgiveness, it shines through happiness.
Step 5: Pray and have faith that this happiness will rise,
because this is the strongest action one can have.
Step 6: Serve everyone you meet, share it with the world.
