Finding True Happiness: Seeking God Within

In the pursuit of happiness, many of us often overlook the profound wisdom found in seeking God. It's not that our desire for happiness is misplaced; rather, the issue lies in seeking happiness exclusively outside of our spiritual connection with the divine.

The Bible imparts invaluable guidance on this matter. In Psalm 16:11 (NIV), it is written, "You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand." This verse emphasizes that true happiness emanates from being in the presence of God and aligning our lives with His divine plan.

The world offers fleeting pleasures and external validations that can never fill the void within our souls. Matthew 6:33 (NIV) reinforces this concept, urging us to "seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

In essence, the pursuit of happiness should begin within, through a deep relationship with God. By seeking His presence, we discover a lasting joy that transcends worldly desires. Happiness, when rooted in our connection with God, becomes an enduring source of fulfillment and purpose.

Today, I encourage you to seek your happiness in God, the source of true and everlasting happiness.

We all have a few things in common: we want to be liked, loved and happy. Some people make us feel special, others make us feel significant, while others can make us discouraged, small and unimportant. The saying goes, “how you make others feel about themselves, says a lot about you” reigns true. When you lack ability to make people feel good about themselves it does nothing more than showcase your own raggedness for the world to see.  As leaders who believe that people matter, we must become masters at making people feel great – to build and maintain lasting relationships, to consistently influence (in a good way) the people around us, to always make people feel better about themselves, and to become the kind of people everyone wants to be around.    Some tips on making people feel great about themselves include:

I understand the fear. No one wants to be annoying or bothersome to a professional contact, especially when you want a job, meeting, sales, sponsorship or something else very important from that person.
