Are you happy?

Have you ever heard people say, "You just don't make me happy?"  Happiness is a temporary emotion just like sadness. What you should try to srtive for is joy.  Personally, I have a very joyful life, because of my relationship with God.  No matter what is going on in my life, good or bad. I have joy! 

It is so unfair for us to place our happiness on someone else's shoulders.  What a burden for them!  They will fail every time. Oh, to live with joy.  When those sad moments come upon us, they will soon be gone, because they are temporary.  But, there waiting is our joy. Stop and focus on your joy.  If you live your life in fear, it is impossible to attain joy. Dr. Darryl Delhouse says, "Joy is the absence of fear." 

Teach your children how to find joy. Help them to see the positive things in life. If you put your happiness in people, things, status, etc. I'm sorry you will be disappointed. No way around it!
Take time to reflect on what is important; your family and freinds. Nurture your relationships and just think, you have joy in your heart. You will have a happy day!
