I Give You a Map

I give you a map

Says God,

But it’s up to you

To read it.

I show you the way,

It’s before your eyes.

Open your heart

And you will see the way.

Your wisdom

Is within you.

All you have to do

Is go within.

The road stretches before you.

Follow it. 

There are signs along the way.

They tell you all you need to know.

The universe provides

All you need.

It’s yours,

Seize it.

Chapter Two, On Anxiety

8/10/16

Wednesday

This chapter is about anxiety.

In its extreme form,

We refer to it as panic.

We write a separate chapter on anxiety

Because it is the main issue of the book,

Anxiety and its treatment.

Anxiety is the most prevalent

Of all mental health issues.

It causes a great deal of stress in people’s lives.

It may be fair to say, that everyone

Has been affected to some degree

By anxiety.

In this chapter It is our goal

To help people

Understand anxiety.

The next chapter

Will help people

Deal with their anxiety.

Happiness: The Conquest of Anxiety

Chapter IV

Happiness 

The Conquest of Anxiety

Saturday

Happiness is anxiety solution

Number 11,

“Find your own happiness.”

But just as importantly,

Happiness is the antithesis of anxiety,

It’s anxiety’s opposite.

True happiness 

Is happiness that lasts.

It doesn’t come and go.

Happiness

Represents the conquest of anxiety.

For that reason we give it a chapter of its own.

Happiness can be seen, it exhibits anxiety’s conquest

And our progress.

We need that visual and emotional display of happiness

To demonstrate happiness’s conquest of anxiety.

We need to see it and feel it

To believe it,

And then we can enjoy it.

The next thirty or so poems will tell you  

Of the splendor of happiness.

An Anxiety Solution

  

The Happiness Solution

Happiness

Is one of the greatest anxiety solutions.

First comes love.

Then comes peace in second place.

And third comes happiness/joy,

Two words for the same attribute.

Love, Peace, and Joy

Are the best description of God

That I can think of.

God is only a word,

But Love, Peace, and Joy

Paint a most beautiful picture of God.

We have listed many anxiety solutions,

But Love, Peace, and Joy,

They are the greatest.

In this section we will describe happiness.

It is the antithesis, the opposite of anxiety.

Anxiety is a problem, happiness is a solution.

Love, Peace, and Joy,

They are the three great choices,

The three great solutions to anxiety.

Anxiety Solution, Step One

Ask for Help

We Help One Another When We Ask for Help

How do you deal with anxiety?

When I ask that question,

We both become involved

In the meaning of each other’s anxiety.

We learn from one another,

And we teach and help each other.

The more you are exposed to the topic of anxiety,

The more you will learn about it.

The more you talk and listen,

The more you will understand.

The more effort you put into reducing your anxiety,

The more your anxiety will be reduced.

If you ask for the help of another,

Not only will you be helped,

But the helper too will be helped.

And the two of you will make a better world,

A less anxious world,

A calmer world,

A more peaceful, happier,

And a less depressed world,

Because anxiety and depression

Often walk hand in hand.

What a beautiful world we can create,

When we ask for help.

Enjoy your new world.
