When Considering Paradise
When considering paradise, do we realize that paradise would not be having everything we wanted, but in having the needs that threaten our existence met while still having difficult things to strive for?
Here we need to take an honest look at our lives and what brings us happiness versus joy. We can sit on a beach and experience joy in the sun, but that joy is not lasting. That joy does not persist for long in our lives. Contrary to that, happiness is cultivated through successful management of responsibility. Happiness that persists throughout our lives, and a sense of purpose and meaning, comes from having something to do which benefits us and the society we live in.
Can you identify things in your life that bring you happiness and things in your life that bring you joy?
