The Happiness Challenge

They say happiness requires seeking new challenges

A favorite film offers familiar comfort But quickly fades in the roll of credits

A perfect sugar-high of birthday cake The sweet taste fleeting on the tongue

Take the time to pursue longer-lasting happiness

Find value in your life

Connect with others

Express your creativity

And don't shy away from the difficult

And don't shy away from the difficult or unknown

Life can be hard, sometimes cruel, even without leaving our comfort zones

So be kind to others

So be kind to others and yourself

I wish you all well in your pursuit of happiness! This poem quotes and is inspired by the article below: https://www.denverpost.com/2014/07/02/happiness-requires-seeking-new-challenges/
