THE HARD WORK OF HAPPINESS

The guru’s make it sound easy,

effortless,

instantaneous.

 

“Just wake up happy”, they say.

 

I say, “Do the hard work of happiness.”

Train your brain,

condition you emotions,

move your body,

focus your attention.

Every. Single.Day.

 

Do the work

and you might just get past fleeting happiness

and find joy waiting for you.
