Happiness


Why today more than ever is happiness a problem? This generation blames everything on “happiness”….I am not happy with you ….not happy with me…..not happy with anything!

So it is not surprising that our children are not learning the key .....that happiness comes from THEM! From inside. You cannot depend on others to make you happy!

A few weeks ago my little brother (lol..married and not so little anymore) brought a friend by the house. Matt had explained that his friends wife had left him. She had told the friend, “You have never made me happy, you do not make me happy and you will never make me happy!” (guess she covered it all!) I said to him “and it is your place to make her happy?” He immediately started telling me yes and that he had really tried….ugh! He (and she) missed the point!

Happiness is from within…..within each person…..it is a choice.

I tell my kids this all the time…...wish there were just more satisfied happy people to be great examples for me and mine (for that matter for the whole generation!).

PS My answer to the first question? Get God and Get Happy:)
