HAPPINESS IS WITHIN EACH OF US
FLASH FICTION FRIDAY 55
Friday Flash 55 is a story
written in exactly 55 words.
Let the G-Man know if you write one
and read the ones of your fellow writers.
"HAPPINESS"
What can I do to acquire happiness?
Nothing!
Why?
You already have happiness.
Why do I not feel so happy?
Because you are busy creating unhappiness.
How do I get what is already mine?
Rid yourself of unhappiness.
How?
Discover what causes unhappiness, and look at that resolutely.
Unhappiness will then delete itself. Happiness remains!
NOTE: It's possible that writing a Flash 55 once-in-a-while will
train me to write blogs of less length than my usual four pages!

This is a really good one Mr. Roni! Nice to read a happy topic! It sure looks like more than 55 words...very well done! TK
Karen, did you count? I counted again, still got 55, but I can still be wrong, ALSO. Never rule that out, someone told me -grin!
Love it. Happiness is a state of mind!
I think that you have to chose to be happy. I know people who love to wallow in their own problems and sadness ---yet they have little to be sad about. Yet others who have had hard & difficult lives who are very happy. Hope you are able to choose happiness.
LOVE IT STEVE!!! Notice the caps? That because I like it so much that I'm yelling it...LOVE IT!
Great 55 Steve. Y'know, I always try to be happy, it is work sometimes, but wake up with a smile on my face and the day progresses.
My 55 is posted. Have a great weekend.
There you go Steve-O-55. Easy, or IS it? Glad you joined along this week!
Nice one. How true about happiness being within.
55 words of wisdom, lovely!
Wow Stevarino, a philosophizin 55?
Ha! I love it!!!
Now don't you feel well rested and energetic after this post?
No writers cramps or headaches..
Thanks for playing, thanks for visiting, and have a Great Week-End... G
When I have created an unhappiness by thought, word, or deed - then I use the threes "A"s:
AWARENESS
ACCEPTANCE
ACTION
Then.....my unhappiness will "delete", "delete", "delete".
I am "happy" you did a 55. KUTGW :)

This is a great 55 and very good advice.
Like your post, Steve! Very uplifting!
That's the basic idea, alright. I just need to keep chiseling away at the unhappiness.
Hey Steve,
Great post. Happiness truly does remain. You just have to look past all the negativity to find it, its there we just have to be willing to grab it. Have a great weekend. My 55 is up
Indeed. Happiness lies within us while it seek it outside!

yOUR 55 is very Buddhist-y. And true.
