Happiness is subjective. It is something that resonates from within us. Some say, we are the instrument of our own happiness...it is up to us to find it. Sure, positive thinking and surrounding yourself with good, positive people can help, but the one certain way to be happy with yourself, is by finding God.
Finding God is really, having your own relationship with HIM. It is a loving bond that can not be broken by the crushing effects of the outside world. It can not be eliminated nor destroyed. Your relationship with God is paramount to your happiness.
If God is in your life...and you value HIS love and relationship, you will find happiness. God is the one, who will let you know how wonderful you are. HE will pour HIS love out to you. HE will let you know, that you are valued, respected, needed and loved. HE will give you HIS loving approval on your life. Knowing God will make you happy.
We can not make everyone happy in the world. People are complicated and have many issues that they themselves are dealing with. Sometimes, people who are unhappy, try and take out their unhappiness out on you. It is easy to fall prey to these people, if you do not have a strong relationship with God. People may try and make you feel bad about yourself. However, with God, HE IS THE ONE WHO MATTERS. We should be concerned with what HE THINKS. So you might ask yourself, is pleasing God difficult?
The answer is NO. Pleasing God is easy. All that God wishes is for you to have a loving heart! Love God, love yourself and love others. Help yourself and help others...Try your best to be kind and do not have malice intentions. Love with all your heart...all those that you come in contact with.
When you do all of the above, you will find happiness! You will feel and see God's BLESSINGS IN YOUR LIFE! When you sincerely are a good person...God will place in your heart joy, happiness and a sense of fulfillment. You will feel happy knowing, that your life matters! GOD SEES EVERYTHING! So, continue to build on your relationship with God...and see how happy you become! Being close to God is a wonderful feeling...true happiness!
