Everlasting happiness

 In the previous post we talk about the difference between pleasure and happiness. So what will really make you happy?

Happiness is the result of right living. Honesty leads to happiness. Dishonesty leads to misery. Remember you can't cheat yourself. Because everyone of us have a conscience. caring for others leads to happiness. Selfishness leads to unhappiness in long run. Patience leads to happiness. Impatience will make you miserable. There are right and wrong ways to live your life. The culture tells you there is no right and wrong. The culture says that what's wrong for you might be right for me. This is nonsense.

Hitler's way was wrong. Mother Teresa's way was right. Always some things are right and some things are wrong. But how do you know what is the right thing to do? 

At a basic level you just know one of God's great gifts to you is conscience. Your conscience guides you in the way of right living so that you can celebrate the best version of yourself and live your best life. Very often we say we don't know what we should do, but usually we're lying to ourselves and to others because our conscience is telling us the right course of action but we are trying to ignore it. Our regrets are born when we ignore our voice of conscience. But if you continuously ignore that voice , you would not hear that voice any longer. It is so miserable. Because if some one is in a such situation, his or her conscience might be dead. Such a person need to pray more for holy spirit. Also need to go to confession immediately.

God has given you a beautiful mind. That is not to conquer others. With that mind you have the ability to study an issue to search for the truth, to think things to seek out God's way and to act on the truth that God shows you. If you want to make great decisions just do the next right thing, don't worry about what you have to do next week or next year. Just do the next right thing right now. If you do the next right thing often enough you will live a uncommon life, a life that is rich within a peace and happiness. In Isaiah 41:10 says;

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand"

So don't go after pleasure that society show you. It can be the way to hell. Seek the kingdom and the presence of the lord in every second. Then God will fill you with all happiness even though you don't have money and power. 

God bless!
