Poem: Choosing to live with joy

Choosing To Live With Joy

The intent of this poem: To encourage clearing your mind of harmful thoughts such as jealousy, hate, anger, prejudice, etc. and day by day, replace them with thoughts that bring you joy to share with others.

Day by day you have a choice,

You live by the quality of your conscious and your inner voice.

As time goes by, carefully choose what you mostly think,

Every thought is an intention, hope or reason for something.

Realize that you have two minds, conscious and unconscious,

Either can harbor thoughts of misery or thoughts of joy.

What you mostly keep on your mind is what you get,

That is something on which you can bet!

It is best to heed what can bring you joy,

Those are the things that float you like a buoy.

The thoughts that you harbor in your thinking space,

Sets the tempo of your daily pace.

Day by day you have a choice,

You live by the quality of your inner voice.
