Secrets of happiness
Posted @ 8:41 AM :: 234 Views :: 3 Comments :: 		 
Does this sound like you?

According to MTV, you "exhibit a careful mixture of idealism and aspirations, tempered with a grasp of realities and practicalities.”

Uh-huh.

Well let's break it down a little.

MTV did a survey to find out what makes 12- to 24-years-olds happy.  So here it is.

In relationships, you'll be happy if:
  • you have good friends
  • you feel you can depend on your parents
  • you have a spiritual life that gives you a sense of meaning

Personally and career-wise, you will be happy if:
  • you can accept your body and get over the sense of being too fat or too thin
  • you can make enough money to take care of yourself (and realize that you're probably not going to be rich)
  • you have realistic expectations for your career (you're probably not going to be famous either)

For the future, you will be happy if:
  • you set goals and take control of your life
  • you approach the future with confidence, knowing there are challenges but working to overcome them
  • you find your place in a group, but you're still "your own person."
Now, isn't that comforting?

Agreeable. But I just want to point out that instead of me, God is the one in control. I love Him with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind, and all my strength. He is everything to me. God's will be done. Thank you.
