The Happiness Quotient
I came across an interesting concept
It was in an online profile
A really pretty girl
Looking for the one
It was the happiness quotient
A look at-
Where do you want to be
How good can it get
What are your expectations
She had a 5:1
Which seemed great
The place where everyday has sunshine
Even when it’s cloudy outside
What struck me
Was how grounded
And thoughtful the concept was
We all want blue skies and rainbows
But life isn’t really that way
We have challenges
Setbacks
Disappointments
But if you work that in to the formula
Make it part of the plan
Your chance at happiness
Grows exponentially
I looked around-
At my friends with the best relationships
They all had a happiness quotient
If they knew it or not
It’s the space that makes things work
The understanding that happiness comes from knowing-
Someone has your back
Standing side by side
Holding hands
And being one
