Happiness is truly a state of the mind. We choose it for ourselves. Sadness, despair, unhappiness, all these will never go away if we refuse all possibilities other than the one we have decided is the best. But we never know what is the best. Who can say that he can predict every outcome from every possibility. No one can. Let go of our preconceptions and embrace the could be-s, accept the viewpoints of others, relish all the excitement of unknown. Only then will we find the beauty in life.
Life never happens as we expect it to. There's always a silver lining to the twists and turns it throws at us.
We stood, steady as the stars in the woods, so happy-hearted; And the warmth rang true inside these bones. As the old pine fell we sang, just to bless the morning. Careless and young, free as the birds that fly with weightless souls now.
