Even when we have everything we need, we can still feel that our life is incomplete. If only we had more money, a better job, the right spouse, a nicer home.........then we would be truly happy. In fact, if we look outside ourselves, there will always be one more something that will seem necessary for happiness. Instead, look at being happy as a choice.
Live in the moment.
It's important to plan, set goals, and prepare for the future responsibly. Yet always focusing on the future means missing precious moments that are happening now. Living each moment as it occurs allows us to prolong its value and make it more meaningful.
Live for others.
Jesus said, "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35). Jesus wants us to be his heart and hands to others and share his love with those around us. He has given each of us gifts to be used to serve others. As a plus, making others happy makes us happy, too.
Live for God.
We were made by God for God. The desire for him is written on our hearts. He never ceases to draw us to himself. Only in God will we find the true happiness for which we yearn.
