Happiness By Billy Graham

Billy Graham has been one of my favorite writers for a long time. His book, the Secret of Happiness is one of my favorites and I have found myself read several times.

In his book, Billy explains how one can find happiness even in hardship times;

1. Poverty
2. While mourning
3. Persecutions

According to Billy, most of us have been seeking happiness in the wrong place. Mother Theresa says, “True holiness consists of doing the will of God with a smile.”

Every one of us wants or is looking for something to make us happy. Be it money or anything to make fun of. Sometimes you try something but it fails even though you still go ahead with other activities happily. That is happiness which brings in endurance worth and endures no matter what comes our way.

Another what mentioning thing is that happiness doesn’t just come from what we do. However, it does come to our liking of what we have to do. If you have to study, like it. If you have to sacrifice time, space, money, or anything else for you to be happy and one of the best writers in the medium, you need to like that.

Some of the steps to happiness he listed include surrender, being sensitive to what others need, prayer, and love among others.

Billy explains further that happiness is found by seeking the Kingdom of the Lord God who is the sole provider. In John 10:10 Jesus says,. “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it abundantly.”

Are you seeking happiness? What is your source of Joy or happiness? Feel free to comment below and follow for more.

This is what I call happiness:

• Doing it passionately -happiness in results
• Involve God. Wake up, pray, and start up your day
• Never fear anything. Fearing to fail is preparing to fail.
• Just do it. Do not overthink. You however have to do it the right way.
• Own happiness. Celebrate you.
• Avoid envy. In fact, you should use that as a motivating factor to do more.

Finding Joy in Everyday Moments

Happiness isn't something we find in the future or attain through external achievements. It resides in the here and now, waiting to be discovered in the everyday moments we often overlook.

Whether it's savoring a cup of coffee in the morning, feeling the warmth of the sun on our skin, or sharing laughter with loved ones, happiness surrounds us if we're willing to embrace it.

Human connection is essential to our happiness and well-being. Invest time and energy in nurturing meaningful relationships with family, friends, and community.

Share laughter, lend a listening ear, and offer kindness whenever possible. Remember, the bonds we forge with others enrich our lives in ways that money and possessions never can.

Often, our pursuit of happiness is hindered by unrealistic expectations and comparisons with others.

Let go of the notion that happiness is a destination to be reached or a standard to be measured against.

Instead, embrace the imperfections of life, knowing that true happiness lies in accepting ourselves and our circumstances as they are.

What brings you joy? Whether it's painting, dancing, gardening, or playing music, make time for the activities that light up your soul.

Pursuing our passions not only brings us happiness in the moment but also provides a sense of purpose and fulfillment that transcends the everyday challenges we face.

It's easy to overlook the simple joys that surround us. But happiness isn't found in grand gestures or material possessions; it's found in the everyday moments we choose to cherish.
