(If this is your first time on this site, please begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])
If happiness is what you are looking for
There are no great mysteries for you to explore,
No oceans to swim or mountains to climb
No searching until the ends of time.
Happiness is not found in what you possess
Nor does it lie on the road to success.
Having someone to love is great, that's for sure.
But it takes more than love for happiness to endure.
To have achieved your goals is a wonderful feeling
But that in itself is not that appealing.
The victory is yours, the race is won,
But without knowing happiness, you've only begun.
Happiness can be yours, and so you will see
Just how easy attaining it really can be.
Whether your poor or whether your rich,
Young or old, it doesn't matter which.
Plain or pretty, skinny or fat,
Kind of heart or low-down rat,
Healthy or sick, educated or not
Just be grateful for what you have got.
The more gratitude that you express
The more you'll enjoy each and every success.
All you need is to have the right attitude.
Happiness is the attitude of gratitude.
(An original Poem by Mel Kaye)
I strongly suggest that you write down your immediate reaction, after passionately reading this poem.- What should you be grateful for?
- Make a list and tell why you should be grateful.

Hey Mel,
"Happiness is the attitude of gratitude" - this is beautiful!!! Great poem, by the way; congratulations!
This poem embodies many of our past conversations, doesn't it? Indeed a person can have a lot yet happiness may not be a word in his dictionary; there are a lot of successful people who are not happy...all because they are not grateful for what they have accomplished; I don't think that they believe to have been blessed (and I confess that this intrigues me a bit)...
I am grateful for everything in my life, as you well know; but now I can add to the list: my good friend, Mel (oh, I can see that you were already there lol), for he is an intelligent man with whom I enjoy exchanging ideas :D!
Cheers
Max,
I, also, am grateful for you, as I previously stated on my Gratitude site.
BTW, I won't be posting for a few weeks. My wife and I are going to China for a 2 week vacation. I hope to post some pictures when I return.
Hey Mel,
I know :D!
Oh yes, I remember the post where you announced it!
I wish you and your wife a happy & safe trip and relaxing vacations :D!
And have loads of fun!
Cheers
