Think Happy Thoughts (Powerful Life Poetry)

Full Poem:
Think happy thoughts!
Think sunshine all the day;
Refuse to let the trifling worries stay,
Crowd them with thoughts of laughter from your mind.
Think of the good, forget the bad you find,
Think of the sun behind the clouds; the blue
And not the grey skies that you view.
Think of the kindness not the meanness shown,
The true friends not the false ones you have known;
The joy and not the hatred of the strife,
The sweetness not the bitterness of life.
Think happy thoughts!
Think happy thoughts!
Think always of the best,
Think of the ones you love, not those that you detest;
Think of your victories and not your failures here,
The smile that pleased and not the hurtful sneer,
The kindly word and not the harsh word spoken,
The promise kept and not the promise broken;
The good that you have known and not the bad,
The happy days that were and not the sad;
Think of the rose and not the withered flower,
The beauty of the rainbow, not the shower.
Think happy thoughts!
Think happy thoughts!
This is true happiness!
That life is sad that feeds on its distress;
That mind is gloomy that subsists on gloom,
And is as dismal as a curtained room,
Where daily comes the sunshine, but to find
It cannot enter through the close-drawn blind.
Fling up the curtains of your mind today
And let the morning sunshine in to play;
Dwell on the joys and not the sorrows here,
Master your thoughts and you have mastered fear.
Think happy thoughts.

    if anne was a realist she'd sense her impending death. so this is kind of an issue for me. I think it's best to be a realist. do you want to be an optimist when it's not logical to be so? to twist your mind and thoughts into positivity despite dire circumstances? it's delusion.

    Oh honey, life will never be the same. Right now is the greatest time of your life. I know it's sad to think you may never see some of these people who have become like family again.. but make a point to stay in contact with those you love. You will meet so many more people.. choose who you keep close and who you let be in the past. People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Choose wisely. Savour every moment now, especially with your family, as these days pass so quickly and before you know it, you'll be looking back and right now will be 20 years ago.. You'll be wondering where all the time has gone. Make it a good time. Grab every opportunity and experience everything.. Tell them you love them. Take real pictures. Keep a journal. Write down your milestones, and special moments. The world is your oyster, and when you are nostalgic, it will be nice to have these things to look back on. No matter where you go, leave that place a better space than when you got there. Never leave your drink unattended. Never let a friend make their way home alone after a night of drinks, and be mindful of who you are trusting. Remember people won't always remember what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel. I am you 20 years in the future. Many blessings to you! Love and light ❤🔥

It was not long after he had won the Nobel Prize. Staying at Tokyo’s Imperial Hotel, Einstein was greeted by a courier who came to his room to deliver a message. Einstein had none of the local currency on him, so he took up a pen and wrote a note on a sheet of hotel stationery. “Stilles bescheidenes Leben gibt mehr Glueck als erfolgreiches Streben, verbunden mit bestaendiger Unruhe,” he wrote. (Translation: A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness).
