What you want in life?

Your happiness how do you find it? It is not easily done. You can keep searching and searching and doing things that you want but ultimately you will be hitting walls over and over again. So whats the point in that? We think happiness is having a lot of something but its not. To us happiness means that we are happy and not the people around us but what if happiness can be something that you can make others around you happy. What if there is a bigger purpose of happiness than that what we think it is. Imagine a child afraid of something and so full of fear that the child isnt sure if they can trust you. But what if you can show the child the happiness he/she could have in Jesus. Think about it happiness really comes from God and its really a gift but through the fall that word is degraded so much that it becomes something that you want and it becomes me, me, and me. What about the rest of the world? What about them? They just become dust and no one. We make them that because we are concentrating on us and as long as we are happy why should we care about anyone else?

This selfish happiness just becomes nothing. YOu will feel so much better if you do something for someone else for once and not think about once. this isnt just to say hey your bad listen to this but actually its a reminder for me really and what i think about the subject of happiness but also for the people who read it and you can dismiss it altogether but i know the words are the words of truth. Happiness is so much more than making yourself feel good. Can you imagine how good you will feel if you actually make another happy? Let me give you an example:

I work with a little girl named Kylie who is just pushed around to much so i took her out one day to the creek near their house and just went on her level and we played and talked and her face was glowing with happiness that she even said "thank you" as i was walking back to my car with her. Not only did it warm my heart that she was happy but it also made her happy. It brings so much more joy to you and the other person. But there is no secret recipe and that i just cant explain to you. You just not think about self. That is all i could really say about how. Although the best way is to pray. YOu say "God help me to think about others before i think what i want." God really could help you with that so much more. I could go on and tell you how but ultimately you need God's help. Trust me. Everyone does.

I gotta go to bed cos it is like 11 at night. So if you have any thoughts let me know. Whether you agree or disagree.
