Read Happiness happens when I feel gratitude

Happiness is a by-product rather than my goal. My desire is to become more and more like Jesus. He teaches me about His love and how I can bear lasting fruit, which brings Him joy and fills me with complete joy. The Father set apart the Son with joy, and Jesus Himself is filled with ecstatic joy by the Holy Spirit. It is my aspiration to emulate Him.

By remaining in Him and allowing His words to remain in me, I have the privilege of asking for whatever I desire, and it will be granted to me! The Father already knows all my needs, so I can confidently trust Him and not worry about what I eat or wear. Just as God wonderfully cares for wildflowers, which are here today and gone tomorrow, He will certainly care for me.

Happiness is cultivated when I choose to wholeheartedly express gratitude. That means I actively choose to be thankful and feel a deep sense of gratitude. I show appreciation and bless others with the blessings I have received. I express gratitude with my entire being - in my decisions, emotions, and actions. This leads to happiness.

I am grateful for every opportunity, and I release any worries about perfection. Every situation presents both challenges and rewards, but it is through these challenges that I experience growth. Everything God created is good and nothing is to be rejected when it’s received with thanksgiving. I purposefully seek to discern what God is doing in every circumstance. So I align myself with His peace and find joy, even when faced with problems. I trust God is working all things together for the good and will provide the right words and attitude for every situation.

I recognize obstacles are an integral part of life’s journey. Facing them head-on strengthens me, knowing that God has led me to them or will help me navigate through them. I welcome challenges and opportunities to become more like Jesus and consider it a pure joy when I encounter various trials, knowing God will complete the good work He began in me. I treat hardships as discipline and know that God is a good Father who will use it for the good and restore what the locusts have eaten.

By releasing expectations of ease or perfection, I open my eyes to see God’s hand at work in every situation. I understand that happiness is found in the expression of gratitude. So I choose to be grateful today.

Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:

1. Am I waiting for perfection in order to be happy?
2. Do I view challenges as obstacles or opportunities?
3. How have I seen God working all things together for good?

How to Enjoy LIFE More: 3 Secrets to Peace and Happiness

How Do You Enjoy Life?

The question is not about how to enjoy life. The question is how to live a life worth living.

No one is exempted from struggles. Even Bible heroes like Moses suffered several challenges in his life.

For this reason, peace and happiness have become challenging goals that every human being seeks. But it is not easy to find.

3 Ways to Achieve a More Peaceful and Happy Life

Achieving a more peaceful and happy life is not an easy achievement. Here are 3 secrets that can help you live a more peaceful and happier life:

1) Pray/meditate

We are taught to

pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17, NKJV).

And when in trouble, we must not fear and be anxious. But, pray in every situation and present these prayers and requests to the Almighty (Philippians 4:6, NIV).

Praying provides peace of mind. And a peaceful mind leads to a happy life. It’s one of the most powerful forces in the world. Why? Because praying is a gift to mankind to connect with our Maker. Regardless of religion, one simple prayer can turn everything around.

Praying and meditating with God helps us accept everything and develop our sense of fulfillment and direction in life.

2) Embrace what is

In Matthew 6:33-34 (NIV), we are taught not to worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

God is already there. That's why we don't need to fear the uncertain.

Yes. Whatever you are facing now, someday, it will come to an end.

We all encounter obstacles now and again, but our response defines how we can resolve them. We just need to have faith and think positively.

Here is why you should stay positive about life.

BENEFITS OF POSITIVE THINKING

• Improves depression
• Better quality of social relationships
• Higher quality of life
• Better coping strategies in times of stress
• Reduces vulnerability to disappointment

3) Practice gratitude all the time

God woke you up today. Isn’t it a wonderful feeling to know you got another day to enjoy life?

We are blessed for this life. “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good…” (Psalm 107:1, NKJV).

Life may be filled with challenges and difficulties, but it’s not all about it. It’s just part of living.

Focus on the good. And be grateful for what you have. No matter how little or much you have, it’s still a blessing.

These are what you experience when you practice gratitude:

• More positive emotions
• Feeling of liveliness
• Better sleep
• More compassion
• More kindness
• Stronger immune system

Ready For a More Enjoyable Life Ahead?

Life is never easy. Happiness and peace start with us. It begins when we decide that we will pursue them.

If you’ve decided to pursue it or are on your way to achieving it, we’d love to hear from you. Share your own secrets.

Let’s make this world a happier and more peaceful place, one person at a time.
