Are You Prepared For Success? (Section II - Installment #14 "The Secret of Happiness” - Male and Female versions)


(If this is your first time on this site, please begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])

The Secret of Happiness

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.
