Ingredients for happiness
My blog has always been about topics that inspire me and among such a variety of publications could not miss one like this.
Happiness, longed for by many and found by few.
For many, happiness is a set of smiles mixed with a permanent good mood, for others happiness depends on how much they have and who they have by their side or they say that happiness is impossible or that they were not born on the day they shared it.
Being happy does not consist in having everything (people we love, riches, good social status); it consists of having what I particularly call "The ingredients for happiness".
1- Love: Love for ourselves, love for others, that kind of love that is able to forgive and overlook the offense. Love defined biblically as the perfect link. Love is God himself, the presence of God in us is indispensable.
If we have love, we give love because nobody can give what they do not have.
2- Peace: It is not any peace, I mean the peace that surpasses all understanding, taking into account that all things help us well, peace in the midst of the difficulties that always leave us learning, peace even when the environment and the events reflect that there is no way out of the problem, and I focus on peace in the midst of adversity, because who, being well and happy, does not feel peace?
Having peace means having full confidence that God, even though we can not see him working, will give the solution in time.
3-Humility: Consider others as superior to us, regardless of knowledge, position and experience we have, leaving aside haughtiness, pride, recognizing that we are imperfect and that we are wrong, without fear of asking for forgiveness or saying I love you, always looking for the common good giving the reason to another even if you do not have it, ready at all times to serve, keeping in mind that: "He who does not live to serve, does not serve to live."
Happiness is a constant joy constituted by love, peace and an attitude of humility and meekness, seasoned by the presence of God in every area of our being. If we prepare happiness with these ingredients, we will be ready to taste it regardless of the good or bad situation we may go through.
