Is Happiness Overrated?

#thereisabetterway

Is Happiness Overrated?

What I learned in church that made me think, Is Happiness Overrated?

The sermon this particular Sunday was about the difference between joy and happiness.  I thought I knew what it meant to be happy, but was confused about joy.  I wondered if they were the same thing. Well, let’s see...

Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive or pleasant emotions.

In the 2nd Edition of the Handbook of Emotions (2000), evolutionary psychologists Leda Cosmides and John Tooby say that happiness comes from "encountering unexpected positive events". In the 3rd Edition of the Handbook of Emotions (2008), Michael Lewis says "happiness can be elicited by seeing a significant other". According to Mark Leary, as reported in a November 1995 issue of Psychology Today, "we are happiest when basking in the acceptance and praise of others".

I often heard Christians say they had the “joy of the Lord,” and I wasn’t sure if I had that or not.  So, I decided to study it out and see if I could make it clear to myself what the difference between joy and happiness is.

Happiness depends on our circumstances, It is a feeling or emotion. We can be extremely happy and then the phone rings and we get a call that can dash all the happiness away and fill us with the utmost sadness.  Perhaps it was a call from a loved one to let us know that one of our dear relatives had passed away, or been in an accident, or developed a terminal illness.  Then all our happy feelings are washed right down the drain.  Happiness can leave and be replaced with any emotion.

Also being happy is something that all people can enjoy.  It isn’t dependent on being a Christian or even living a moral life. If their circumstances are ideal then they are happy, if all is alright in the world.

Joy on the other hand is not natural to us.  It is not dependant on our circumstances or feelings. When we realize the depth of the love God has for us in Christ then we can respond with utter joy regardless of what is happening around us.

Happiness--Love it when it comes.

Joy--It’s the love that lasts no matter what.

Joy is something that cannot be taken away by circumstances.

The joy that the Lord gives us enables us to cope with life’s trials.  It gives us hope, and enables us to become overcomers instead of victims.  It is true! This joy of the Lord is very powerful indeed.  It is our strength! Below is one of my favorite scriptures because it reminds me that I can be joyful and God is always near to help.

Philippians 4:4-9

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

I feel like this sometimes too:(

Sigh

I don’t great. I don’t feel terrible. I don’t feel much. I want to want. So badly do I want to fully feel a desire to do something. I do want to do things a bit, but I don’t feel enough motivation to actually do things without having to push myself really hard to do them. Have a diminished ability to feel makes it so difficult to know what I want to do with my life. I don’t feel things passionately enough to think they’re something I want to do. I sometimes feel like my depression is caused by the way the world turned out. The fact that were so hyper connected and I feel so detached that I’m doing something wrong. I know it’s not all because of technology, but I feel some technology has had a negative impact. I like this though, this journal I have. Also, on a positive note I got a raise at work today. I didn’t really feel any joy though from it. More money has never seemed to make me happy. I just want a job where I’m actually working most of the time, have good coworkers, and meaning. This has been a very disjointed post lol

Empowered Eating

How to practice empowered eating? Well, I must say I am not so good at this, although I am getting better. My body does judges me on how I eat and tells me so. Even as a young girl, I knew when my eating was problematic. Each Sunday at Grandma’s house for fried chicken and pie I spent the rest of the day sleeping.  Although it was most amazing home cooked meal, I was not empowered by it rather defeated. Have you ever gotten sleepy after eating a large meal? Did your lunch food choices empower you to blaze through the rest of your day or melt away in sleepiness? You are what you eat, could this be what we mean by empowered eating? You are empowered to fuel your body with fuel of sludge. I remember times feeling so full all I could do with myself was to sleep and tend to a terrible headache. Could it of been the crap I ate that was to blame? I used to think feeling crappy, getting headaches and muscle pain was just a random life destiny. But come to find out there were many things I could do to feel better, it was indeed in my control. 

I’m learning what’s in my control now, my gut health is one of them. I would to hear how others feel about this.

Money or Madness? Or can both co-exist, does it have to be Money or Madness? Does it have have to be one or the other? If we pursue money, does that automatically destine us to be greedy selfish people? I used to think so. However, my views have changed and now I have come to see how money can be an amazing tool to change the world in a positive way. Money or Madness, my past perspective I grew up among the wealthy poor. Let me define this term as it applies to my past. “The impression of wealth but a life of uncertainty, insecurity of guilt of money.” My Dad would go to the casinos and lose our bill money, but had little money for groceries or daily needs. Or there were times he came home with a stack of 100 bills. Then back to no money again. Although we were living on financial uncertainty, a short time later he would make this grand announcement that he was taking us on an extravagant vacation. Although, I was happy to be skiing or relaxing in a grand resort, I felt guilty. How could he spending all this money on us but we are short on cash that we can’t even open the refrigerator or turn on a light for fear of not being able to pay the electricity bill in our tiny apartment. I didn’t ask for this, I would of been fine with a few days camping on the beach. But how could I complain as I was whipping down the beautiful sky slope with my Dad smiling at the bottom. I was so conflicted. I remember my Mom saying that she would be fine with us living in a tent, if we were all together. Money problems ended my parents marriage as it does with so many marriages. I remember vowing that money would never be that important to me. I just wanted enough to live on. Happiness is better than wealth. Unfortunately, looking back I see now that I often became self righteous and prestigious toward what I termed as” wealth before happiness” people. Money or Madness my present perspective God is always good at providing just enough to meet our needs and make it paycheck to paycheck. However, in the last 18 years of marriage we have never been able to put away any money. I have heard before, “That we are all just one paycheck away from poverty.” Honestly, I feel super lucky that my husband and I have stable jobs. However, I want more. I want financial freedom. Money or Madness my future perspective Recently, I started an incredible home business, helping people increase their health and wealth. It’s been so rewarding witnessing many many health and wellness transformations. These everyday, good hearted people are so inspiring. Getting paid to help others in a big way while making big money. Is this real, Oh yeah! Financial freedom means all debt is paid off and money can now be used to help others. I am now seeing this in action in my own life and it is exhilarating! Not only do I have a renewed perspective of wealth and it’s potential to provide financial freedom, but now have big dreams. I love to share with you my dreams and hopes, I believe God can use me to make a difference globally. Despite how lofty my dreams are, I’m starting to see them materializing. So here’s my dreams in black and white; Start local and global foster kids aging out programs. Go on mission trips whenever or wherever God calls me. Provide a legacy for my children. Help them become financially free so they can stay home. and raise their kids as stay at home parents, mother and father. Have the time freedom to volunteer in my community in day, anyway. Take my kids on a spontaneous educational trip, the world is our classroom! Be involved in programs to help homeless and veterans. What are your dreams? http://randireadytolive.exploreyourwellness.com/ #thereisabetterway #financialfreedomfuture
