Be Happy

The best thing you could do for anyone that you love, is be happy! And the very worst thing that you could do for anyone that you love, is be unhappy, and then ask them to to try to change it, when there is nothing that anybody else can do that will make you happy. ~ Abraham

It's Not my job. I have the power to disappoint you,
to wrong you so it makes sense for you to become angry.
I can ask you to do something but I can't make you do it
though I may have authority or power to motivate you
to want to. Ir's possible my being happy and
your knowing I want that would have better results, though.
It is my job to be happy. I can be happy when I'm ill,
when I'm in pain, when things aren't going as I would choose.
Happy is not jocularity, not glee, not being carefree.
It is an internal condition, contentment, knowledge
that a power greater than I is in charge and the world
is safe and secure and I can trust that at some point glee will return.
