That They Might Have Joy

Why am I always looking for something to make me happy?

Silly me. I learned something so very long ago.

Happiness is the Journey. Not the Destination.

It's right in front of my nose, it is :) Stop looking for something to make you happy, if you do so, you will spend your whole life looking. Because happiness is beneath your feet, happiness is in your smile, in your front yard. Happiness is in the blue sky, in the grass. Happiness is in the laugh of your friends, in the smile of the person who loves you. Happiness is everywhere, it's in the journey of life. It doesn't matter what happens, it's always there.

Silly me. Don't I remember?

Men are that they might HAVE joy. Not search for joy, not know of joy, not expect other people to give them joy. But HAVE joy. That means it's right here.

God's love is right here.. I just have to hold onto it.

Do what's right.. Have courage.

And Happiness is always right there :)

I remember now.

Yes, Happiness is the Journey, not the destination.

Don't go looking for happiness.

For if you do, you'll only leave it behind.

Because it was right there the whole time.
