“It isn’t what
happens to us
that causes
us to suffer;
it’s what we say
to ourselves
about what happens.”
.
~ Pema Chodron

.
Pain is inevitable,
suffering is optional.
Suffering is holding on to the past.
Always remember, good or bad,
this is life on God’s terms
and we must learn to accept it,
regardless of the happening.
Today, learn from the lesson and move on,
hopefully, with a positive attitude.
Happiness is seeing the positive
in what happens in our lives.
Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

I never bought into this poem except that last line does give our being in this world some value.
