Why?

Why Do Otherwise When We Can Go Clockwise!

Why feel blue when we can feel good,

Why be gloomy when we can rejoice,

Why let our spirits sink when we can seek to be understood,

For happiness begins with mindful choice.

.

Why be sarcastic when we can be kind,

Why be indifferent when we can show empathy,

Why be controlling when we can inspire,

For happiness begins with a smile that needs no telepathy.

.

Why be bossy when we can be fair,

Why be high and mighty when we can care,

Why be unkind when we can uplift,

Happiness begins with an attitude shift.

.

We can unbreak the hearts,

We can undo the hurts,

We can un-cry the tears,

We can unchain the fears,

We can unbind the past,

And InsyaAllah, when we do what is right, we will be happier and prosper fast! 😊💪
