Happiness
May 23, 2023Being happy is not about everything going correct in our lives, but rather a continual decision about where we will put our focus.
Everyone has negative things in their life and if that becomes the focus of our attention we will be unhappy. Focus on the good in your life today and you will find the happiness you're looking for.
Keys to Living a Happy Life
1. Take responsibility for your own happiness. Being happy is an inside job and it’s no one else’s responsibility but yours.
1 Sam 30:6 David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
2. Stop blaming others for your unhappiness.
3. Stop waiting for a trouble free life to be happy.
Eccl 11:1 "If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done."
4. Focus/meditate daily on the good in your life instead of the negative. Remember you find what you look for.
5. Persuade your heart through a positive confession.
6. Don’t hangout with complainers.
7. Live a life of thankfulness.
