Happiness

"Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves." - Hellen Keller

Daring to dream

Note to self: Read this when not in high spirits
Note to others: Read this NOW ;)

So you've thought it through,
This is what you've got to do,
This is what was meant for you,
This is what you love in true...

But reluctant are you, to conjure dreams anew,
Scared are you: what if they shatter too?
Leaving you with but a fragments few,
So you've not exactly thought it through...

But in this fear,
Would you put off your dreaming too?
Would you rather,
Cut off a path before you tread it through?

Life is teeming with surprises new,
Your dream might just be realized too,
If only you don't nip it before giving it its due,
Arise! Awake! The world beckons you!
