Discovering happiness

in #writing7 years ago

If there's one thing that every person strives for, it's joy. The key to having a joy filled existence is one of the most coveted questions of all time, and it's something that we've all thought about at one stage of our lives. So what is the key to eternal joy? Well, the means to reaching that goal is different for each person, and at the end of the day, always being happy simply isn't possible. However, that doesn't mean that we should be content with living unhappy lives. There are are things we can do in order to increase our happiness in everyday life, and although it may seem like trifles, it definitely adds up. Although this seems fairly obvious, spending your time doing the things that you like will make you feel like your life has purpose, and make your everyday routine that much more enjoyable. It could even be simple things like making food, or listening to music. Spending time with friends and family could also help with making you feel a bit happier. Try to find things that will make your day just a little bit better, and by the end, they will make the world's difference.

I fully agree - well said.

Great post.
You can only have eternal joy, if you have eternal life, and there is only one way to get eternal life, and that is to believe that Jesus died for your sins.

Yeah suffering is a choice. I chose joy too :-)
