True Happiness God
is the genuine happiness which money cannot buy. It's so true that it is lasting and priceless! Those who have happiliy experienced this true happiness cannot evetn tell how. It's complete, and clearly out of this world. You immediately receive the feeling of wholeness that you immediately discover that NOTHING else really matters in this world, nor in this life for that matter.
However, this heavenly bliss is attainable. The road to happiness is written in the Bible: THE way, THE truth and THE Light is Jesus Christ.
It is held by Christians worldwide that there is an innate emptiness in each of our hearts; we try to fill it up with “stuff’, with experiences, purchases, with drugs and alcohol or sex; this vacuum, this empty place in our heart can only be filled by Jesus Christ.
Anything and everything else is only temporary. You can keep on trying to fill this void, but the only puzzle piece that fits is Christ.
Surrendering your life to God
leads to amazing things. It takes away all of your fears-you’ve given those old fears and problems to God; how he handles them is meant to be.
You simply don’t have to worry anymore. You do, however, have to be open to what God may have in mind for your life.
God does not give you more than you can handle, but He may push you in directions that you’ve never thought about. In prayer
, ask for your needs, not your wants, and your life will be forever changed.
You will find the purpose of your life in your ministry, be it music, teaching, preaching, giving or reaching the lost.
Your life, as you knew it, empty and void, will be replaced by a lifestyle that compares to no other. The happiness-the joy
-that you could never find will be a part of your life in abundance.
There is nothing more important to your happiness factor than taking proper care of your body.
There is nothing better than a good night’s sleep to make you feel better. Well, maybe a perfect diet, proportioned in fat, carbohydrates, proteins and calories. Oh, I almost forgot the benefit of a good exercise program will do wonders for your health and well-being.
Taking care of your health is an integral part of taking care of your mental well-being. It’s hard to feel happy if you don’t get proper nutrition, sleep or exercise, no matter how hard you try to keep a positive attitude. If you don’t feel rested or fueled, happiness is going to be just beyond your reach.
Take time to get the rest you need. Go to bed earlier than usual, but don’t disturb your natural rhythm too much. Eat smaller meals, but more frequently, to keep your blood sugar levels regular. Eat fresh foods; lots of fresh fruit and vegetables will help keep your energy levels up, and make sure to include some proteins for long-term energy.
Exercise tells your brain to release “happy hormones”, called endorphins. Regular exercise that makes you breathe just a little bit hard helps you to burn fat and to get the added benefit of the endorphins that give you a burst of energy and a sense of well-being.
Take control of your own body as a way of making yourself happier. By making better food choices, getting plenty of quality rest and getting more exercise is a sure-fire way of increasing you “happy factor”.
The answer to these questions define your perspective on life. Half-empty
or half-full
? Cannot be done or can be done - even if it means just trying? Don't have or have - even if it looks like you don't have? Rule No 1, when the "I cannot" comes calling, your response should be "Not available, go look elsewhere."
The choice is yours. The decision is wholly your responsibility. Both way are highways, only the lead in opposite directions. Both will surely take you to a destination. It remains weather the destination will be a pleasant one.
You miss so much if you look at life through the half-empty glass. Taking the negative slant on life leads to a life of negative thinking that never sees
the good things that life has to offer.
Take a moment and write down all the things that are wrong with your life. Then, on a different piece of paper, write down all of the blessings you have. For a negative person, this can be hard. Did you wake up in a warm bed this morning? Was your bed warm? Was there someone on the other side of the bed? Did you have breakfast? Did you go to a job? In a car? Did you have clean, decent clothes to put on?
Each any every one of these things are blessings and are a positive part of your life. It can be so easy to think about the negative things: I don’t get paid enough, my car is old, and the cereal wasn’t fresh - come on! Half the world would love to have the things you took for granted just this morning!
What do you ever get out of life by looking at the negative aspects
of your life? Are you a complainer? Are you a complainer because of your circumstances or do your circumstances make you complain? How much worse could things be? When you really think about your life, aren’t you truly blessed compared to others around the planet?
Try thinking positively as a way of finding happiness and satisfaction in your life. Complaining does nothing except make others around you feel bad, and if
that’s your intention, you need to re-think your relationship.
