Happiness Is a Choice Which We Make

By Ayush Pharasi

IT WAS NEVER IN THE COFFEE, IT WAS NEVER IN THE CAKE

HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE WHICH WE MAKE

THEY SAY IT IS IN THE LUXURY CAR

THEY SAY IT IS IN THE PENTHOUSE HAVING A VIEW OF LAKE

BUT TRUST ME, HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE WHICH WE MAKE

ONE MAY TRAVEL THE WORLD

ONE MAY HAVE ALL WHAT IT TAKES

ONE MAY HAVE EVERYTHING BUT MAY STILL FEEL RESTLESS, TERRIBLE AND FAKE

COZ HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE WHICH WE MAKE

IT IS ONLY THE MIND AND THOUGHTS WHICH ARE OURS

REST EVERYTHING IS GIVE AND TAKE

MAKE EFFORT TO KEEP THE MIND AND BODY HEALTHY

MAKE EFFORT TO KEEP THEM IN SHAPE

COZ ANSWERS LIE WITHIN AND HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE WHICH WE MAKE

SOME SAY WE ARE SLAVES OF OUR MIND AND THOUGHTS

BUT THAT’S NOT TRUE AND IS OUT OF SOUGHTS

ONE IS BORN WITH AN ATTITUDE AND APPROACH TO LIFE

BUT CAN EVOLVE, ADAPT AND GET BACK UP TO FIGHT

ONE CAN HAVE CONTROL ON MIND AND THOUGHTS AND SHOULD WORK ON WHAT IT TAKES

COZ HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE WHICH WE MAKE

IT IS THE RELEASE OF CERTAIN HORMONES WHICH KEEPS US HAPPY

AND THE SAME IS NOT LIMITED TO EXTERNAL STIMULI

WE CAN BETTER CONTROL OUR LIVES AND CAN DO MUCH MORE

TO START WITH WE SHOULD LEARN WHAT TO FORGET, FORGIVE AND IGNORE

WHY SHOULD OTHERS BEHAVIOR MAKE US HAPPY OR SAD

COZ OUR SOUL, MIND AND THOUGHTS ARE FREE FOR WHICH WE SHOULD BE GLAD

UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THIS FREEDOM BEFORE ITS TOO LATE

COZ HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE WHICH WE MAKE

BY ALL MEANS ONE SHOULD WORK HARD

BY ALL MEANS ONE SHOULD ASPIRE AND STRIVE

BUT LEARN TO LET GO, ITS IMPORTANT FOR A HAPPY LIFE

LEARN FROM THE PAST AND LET IT GO

LEARN FROM THE FAILURES AND SUCCESSES AND LET THEM GO

KEEP MOVING FORWARD AND WHAT COMES ALONG WE TAKE

AND NEVER FORGET, HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE WHICH WE MAKE

ITS ONLY THIS ONE LIFE WHICH WE GOT

NOT SURE IF WILL HAVE IT AGAIN

U WILL WIN SOME, U MAY LOSE SOME

TAKE EVERYTHING IN STRIDE AND DON’T FEEL THE PAIN

GOOD SLEEP, HAPPY THOUGHTS AND HEALTHY MIND AND BODY IS ALL WE NEED

ONE CAN STILL BE HAPPY AT A DESERTED BARREN PLACE

ONE MAY STILL BE SAD INFRONT OF A BEAUTIFUL LAKE

AS HAPPINESS IS THE CHOICE WHICH WE MAKE

ONE DAY WE ALL HAVE TO LEAVE THIS EARTHLY BODY

OUR SOUL WILL MAKE THE JOURNEY BACK

LEAVING EVERYTHING BEHIND LIKE THROWING AWAY A HEAVY SACK

ENJOY THE TIME, WHATEVER WE HAVE

COZ ON THE FINAL DAY, THE ONLY QUESTION LEFT BEFORE THE THINGS FADE

WOULD BE DID WE CHOOSE HAPPINESS, WAS THAT THE CHOICE WHICH WE MADE
