These 3

There is but one place and time

where happiness can be found:

here, and now.

   If you don't have it now,

   where you are,

   chances are not good

   that you will find it later,

   somewhere else.

      It has less to do with

      surroundings and companions

      and more to do with the attitude

      and outlook you have

      about and for yourself.

         When it is grounded in these three –

         here, now, and self – no one

         can steal it from you.

      Don't miss it by wasting

      your life searching

      for it elsewhere.
