April 13         Imagination

“Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of  imagination.”    ~ Immanuel Kant

Imagine the calm, the serene.

Imagine the laughter, the joy.

Imagine the peace, the contentment.

Imagine the freedom from guilt and remorse.

That which is good, that which you can dream,

that which is not beyond hope, that is your happiness, imagine that.

Know that a Higher Power imagined this for all of us,

learn to share that image and let it be your happiness.

Happiness is having a vivid imagination.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

April 12 Be Rational

“The irrational in the human has something about it altogether
repulsive and terrible, as we see in the maniac,
the miser, the drunkard or the ape.”  ~ George Santayana

Be rational, have friends and family be the mirror of your soul.

Learn to listen to those who want the best for you and themselves.

Learn that the repulsive and the terrible are just emotional signs

that changes must be made.

You can only change you, you may change your attitude,

you may change the people you congregate with, you may change

the places you go and you may change the things you chose to do.

Today, make changes to avoid being repulsive and terrible.

Today, do what your rational Higher Power expects you to do.

Happiness is knowing your rational self.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
