Looking for Happiness? I am sorry to say you won't find it. For there are many who thinks happiness exists in a foreign land (most times America) or that happiness will be realised when they acquire money and cars. I have lived among men who live in a land of poverty yet had smiles on their faces and joy in their hearts. I have also lived in a land flowing with milk and honey and met the most miserable of all men.
Listen to me young man, happiness flees the heart that is discontent or dissatisfied with his present state. The mind that is confused with subtle suggestions from media and advertisements that he needs a samsung galaxy tab, or a particular kind of car. A mind that thinks she has to have long hair, be as slim as a model or have breast as big as a Hollywood star. This confused minds can never know happiness if they travel to paradise or lay in the laps of riches.
Free your mind from the burden of materialism and covetousness then happiness will come to you without searching . While aspiring for a greater position in life be thankful for what you have right now, be content with your inner man, rely on God who is always with you and will never leave you (Hey 13:5).
Be content and happiness will be your companion.
