Do you find yourself wondering how to be happy?
If your goal is happiness, I think you will always be disappointed.
Happiness is a by-product of something bigger.
Make your goal to serve others and happiness will follow.
A dear friend of mine lost her beloved father last week. As I read his story in the local newspaper, what stood out to me was his life of service to others.
He served in the military.
He served in the medical profession.
He served his family, both of origin and the family he and his lovely wife created.
This was a happy man. The many photos on Facebook tell that story.
But the story of his life was purpose.
Purpose to serve and bless others.
The by-product was a happy life, well lived.
We’ll miss you, Mr. Brady, but the story of your life lives on as those you served and blessed with continue to serve and bless others.
And we will find happiness in the process.
