What IS TRUE Happiness


Happiness is knowledge.

Knowing that there is more to life than a fancy car or having the best body out of all your friends. 

Having humility. 

Knowing that there is a God above you and that everything is not in your hands. And that’s OK.

Knowing that this God cares and loves you, and wants the best for you, even though it’s sometimes hard to recognize and readmit that to yourself.

Knowing that there is a truth and a purpose for existence, and striving to not only know the truth, but to live a life of truth.

Knowing that although we don’t understand why so-and-so happens to so-and-so, there is still order in this entanglement that we call life, and that recognizing that we only see the back of an embroidery embellishment, and that they’ll be a time and will see the finished design.

So, to conclude, what is happiness?  Happiness is knowing and having a peace of mind. Clear of doubt, having clarity, and living a life of truth and purpose.
