STOP AND THINK – Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed. (Storm Jameson, 20th century English journalist)
Someone, indeed, may find happiness in any one of Jameson’s elements. However, many have found that happiness is a temporary, maybe even illusory, emotion. It doesn’t last long, and it is dependent upon circumstances, events, or even other people. It is much better to seek joy, which comes, not from outward circumstances, but inward contentment.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him (Romans 15:13)
