Where in the world can someone find happiness?

Bringing a spiritual perspective to daily life………

Have you ever stood at a crossroads in your life and wondered what would make you happy?

i have.

When i was younger, i thought it would be friends or a particular friend, getting out from under credit cards, career opportunities, or losing all insecurities that existed.

All too often, what we thought would make us happy hasn’t, so we’ve found ourselves on a never-ending quest to grab that carrot that bobs along just beyond reach.

Do we really know? Does that promised happiness really pan out in the end?

We’re not so great at anticipating what will make us happy, especially when it comes to consumption junction choices such as buying a house, working long hours for a bigger paycheck, or buying a new car or a piece of jewelry.

A marked clear path that leads to happiness, where the promise of perfect human relationships, material possessions, and utopian circumstances fail, as promised.

Should we get our priorities straight?

If material possessions and human bliss become a person’s endeavors, one is likely to discover that fear and greed slide through that crack in the window. These keep one from contentment by keeping thought in constant turmoil. On the other hand, seeking true happiness doesn’t require that we sacrifice all worldly good – just that we get our priorities straight.

Seeking harmony and an atmosphere of Spirit is what brings true happiness. Anything short of this might satisfy for a moment, but will disappoint in the end because it lacks substance and staying power.

The great thing about setting out to achieve this is that we don’t have to look too long and hard, because it’s within reach of your consciousness and mine, right here and now.

This kind of happiness is not superficial. It wells up from deep within our innermost selves, bringing with it a lovely serenity.

These are requirements for happiness:

• Enough humility to know our needs.

• Compassion for those who live under tyranny of any sort – autocracy or theocracy, sickness or unfathomable sin.

• Meekness, patience, and temperance.

• Hungering and thirsting for uprightness

• Mercy, even for those who don’t humanly deserve it.

• Purity of heart.

• A willingness to be peacemakers, even in the face of bitter circumstances.

• Sufficient conviction to be willing to face ridicule.

The kind of happiness one finds is not akin to what the world holds up as its model, since it is neither flashy nor fickle. Instead, it’s the kind of contentment of an old oak tree that has sent its roots down deep and remains anchored when the gales beat against it. Armed with this blueprint for a blissful life, not even the surrounding storm can uproot us or throw us off balance.

Happiness is spiritual,
born of Truth and Love.
It is unselfish; therefore
it cannot exist alone,
but requires
all humankind to share it.
