Living a Life of Happiness, Faith, Family, Fun and on Purpose
Author: Jackson  | Posted: 06-05-2008 | Views: 13 | Rating: (140)  (?) 
Be Happy as You Want to Be. Living a life of Happiness, Faith, Family, Fun and on Purpose is a goal that we all should strive to accomplish.
The Bible says the following:
But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance. Psalms 33:11-12 (NIV)
Almost everyone have heard the hit single 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin. The song has a very catchy way of conveying its message of being happy to everyone. Bobby Mcferin’s simple message surely made a lot of people happy by telling individuals not to worry.
Living a happy, resilient and purpose driven life is amazing. Living a happy life is also good for your health. Happiness actually protects you from the stresses of life. Stress is linked to top causes of death such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.
One of the better things ever said is – 'The only thing in life that will always remain the same is change’, and in our life we have the power to make the necessary changes if we want to make a change to live happy. We sometimes find ourselves in an unbearable situation, but we can always find solace in the knowledge that it too would change.
The Bible says the following:
So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, for youth and vigor are meaningless. Ecclesiastes 11:10(NIV)
Church, Knowing Jesus, Loving God, Social networks and/or relationships are essential to happiness. People are different, accept people for who or what they are, avoid clashes, constant arguments, and let go of all kinds of resentments. If arguments seem unavoidable still try and make an effort to understand the situation and you might just get along with well with
Happiness is actually found in everyone, increasing it is a way to make a life more wonderful and also healthier.
To be happy is relatively easy; just decide to be a happy person. Abraham Lincoln observed that most people for most of the time can choose how happy or stressed, how relaxed or troubled, how bright or dull their outlook to be in their current situations. The choice is simple really, choose to be happy.
The Bible says the following:
But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful. Psalm 68:3 (NIV)
There are several ways by which you can do this.
Find the good in everything that you do. Being grateful is a great attitude. We have so much to be thankful for in abundance. Thank the taxi driver for bringing you home safely, thank the cook for a wonderful dinner and thank the guy who cleans your windows. Also thank the mailman for bringing you your mails, thank the policeman for making your place safe and thank God for being alive.
News is stressful. Get less of it. Some people just can’t start their day without their daily dose of news. Try and think about it, 99% of the news we hear or read is bad news. Starting the day with bad news does not seem to be a sensible thing to do.

A religious connection is also recommended. By being part of a religious group with its singing, sacraments, chanting, prayers and meditations foster inner peace, joy and love.
Manage your time. Time is invaluable and too important to waste. Time management can be viewed as a list of rules that involves scheduling, setting goals, planning, creating lists of things to do and prioritizing. These are the core basics of time management that should be understood to develop an efficient personal time management skill. These basic skills can be fine tuned further to include the finer points of each skill that can give you that extra reserve to make the results you desire.
Laugh and laugh heartily everyday. Heard a good joke? Tell your friends or family about it. As they also say –'Laughter is the best medicine'.
Express your feelings, affections, friendship and passion to people around you. They will most likely reciprocate your actions. Try not to keep bottled up anger of frustrations, this is bad for your health. Instead find ways of expressing them in a way that will not cause more injury or hurt to anyone.
Working hard brings tremendous personal satisfaction. It gives a feeling of being competent in finishing our tasks. Accomplishments are necessary for all of us, they give us a sense of value. Work on things that you feel worthy of your time.
Learning is a joyful exercise. Try and learn something new everyday. Learning also makes us expand and broaden our horizons and could also give us more opportunities in the future.
Run, jog, walk and do other things that your body was made to do and accomplish. Feel alive. Look Alive. Speak Alive. Be Alive!
Avoid exposure to negative elements like loud noises, toxins, hazardous places and people.
These are the few simple things you can do everyday to be happy.
Make your mind up today to live a life of Happiness, Faith, Family, and Fun and on Purpose.

Obey God Today
By: Patrick Roberts | 29/10/2007 | Religion
We can’t help surrendering ourselves to one master or another. We are built for worshipping either God or something else, as our unconscious habits demonstrate every day. And, from my experience living in the U.S., I gather that the most prevalent false god to whom unredeemed people pay homage is the ego, or the self (including any subtle derivations of self).
