Hold on to what is good
Even if it is a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you must do
Even if it is a long way from here.

Hold on to life
Even when it is easier to let go.

Hold on to my hand
Even when I have gone away from you.

Just for today, hold on to what is good.

SAM_1128“If we believe that happiness arises only when some external condition is fulfilled, we consign ourselves to a perpetual state of discontent. For even when our expectations are fulfilled, sooner or later the little voice inside starts again, ‘More! More!’ It is this habit, this almost mechanical fixation of the mind, that keeps us forever chasing rainbows, until at last we begin to suspect that the kingdom of heaven is within.”

Just for today, look within for happiness.
