How To Be Happy

• Take a walk every day. You need the fresh air and the time alone whether you know it or not.
• Notice the little things. Don't get so caught up in the red, yellow, and blue that you never see the turquoise, magenta, and the olive.
• Be honest. Be honest with others and with yourself. A lie will never get you anywhere but stuck in the mud. The kind of mud you don't easily get out of.
• Play with children. They know the basic meaning of life that you have forgotten among the details of a busy schedule. 
• Be creative. School will stimulate the left side of your brain very well but that's only half of your brain. Make sure you are stimulating the right side of your brain as much as you can.
• Enjoy being with people. When their gone you'll miss them.
• Enjoy being alone. When you're not you'll miss it.
• Become a good listener. Value the opinions of others even when you don't agree. 
• Show your love for others in all the different ways you can. Verbalize your love, give up your time, give gifts, provide services, and love through physical touch.
• Keep good posture. You'll thank yourself for it in the long run. 
• Go out in the storm and enjoy the rain. Don't let disasters ruin your fun.
• Stay clean. You'll make more friends that way.
• Take a sick day. Sometimes being tough is realizing when you need a break.
• Take lots of pictures. Your life is important and it deserves to be remembered.
• Live in the moment. As a wise turtle once said "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but to day is a gift; that's why we call it the present."
• Prepare for the future. Whether you like it or not it comes and you better be ready for it.
• Love yourself. Might as well! You'll never live a day without you so it might be better to enjoy it rather than hate it.
• Smile. It's simple but true; if you smile you'll find yourself brightening both your life and others.
• Live. Don't survive. Live.

It Lies In The Palm Of My Hands

I have the power. 

It lies in the palm of my hands.

It may be small and seemingly harmless.

But it's not.

It is large and mighty in it's abilities.

With it in my hands, I can alter your life's destiny, I can stop your clock.

With it in my hands, I can inflict pain, I can torture, I can destroy.

I decide what needs to be done.

I decide the end result.

You may beg.

You may compromise.

But I decide.

Is it right or is it wrong to take away your only life?

Am I justified?

There are no voices, no guidance.

I decide if I am right.

Should I wait for assurance of my coming actions or is my duty due now?

Be quick, be sure.

I decide the hour.

The price is large either way.

I cannot leave without a scar.

It's you or me.

It's them or you.

It's time or dignity.

Rarely do both accompany the end.

It's so easy yet so hard.

The simple pressure of my finger seals the deal.

The racing thoughts and feelings of my mind prolongs the kill.

I am either the grim reaper, the Hades, the Yama or the Prometheus, the Vishnu, the Savior of your life.

I have the power to kill you.

Whether or not I deserve it,

Whether or not I have sufficient knowledge,

Whether or not I have sufficient mercy and justice.

I have the power to kill you.

I have the power to not kill you.

I have the power.

And it lies in the palm of my hands.
