Today I was watching a program about Happiness on BBC TV. They were explaining who their research found that people who were happier lived longer than sad people. They had a group of nuns, who were studied for happiness.
The researchers were saying that they could scientifically prove that happy people live longer. I have a spiritual take on happiness. When one is focused on God, what happens is that there is a longing to go to our Heavenly home. When we are keen to go to our final destination, unknowingly we stop being afraid of death.
When are are not afraid of death we start to really live. We are alive and this also shows up as happiness. Also happiness leads to a sense of fulfillment. Many people say away from God and HIS love, because they feel they have to give up many things. But this is not true.
When you become truly God-centered it is then you start to understand, what true happiness is. In God, our happiness is not limited but expanded.
Remember, "I come that they might have life, and they might have it more abundantly."- John 10:10. Understand Jesus came to us, so that we have a fulfilling and happy purposeful life.
