Want to know how to stay happy? This is one of life’s most common quests among men. People, things and events make us happy only for a very short time. Then we are back to the pursuit of happiness. The only problem is the focus is on being happy itself, rather than what it actually takes to be happy. When we master this, we can find true happiness. It is our responsibility to be happy and not rely on other people to make us happy.

You Can Be Happy

Most people would like to know how to be happy and stay happy if there is some secret to happiness. The only way to truly be happy and fulfilled is to find out what your life’s purpose is and begin to do it. If you want to stay happy every day, then do it every day – your purpose, that is. In your “pursuit of happiness” pursue your purpose and there you will find happiness waiting for you. Your purpose gives your life new meaning and adds adventure to it.

“There has to be a reason
There has to be a cause
The reason that I live here
In spite of nature’s laws . . .”

What Does it Take to Be Happy

Start your quest by asking God why He put you here. He will tell you. You may have to try out a few things to find out or He may give you an immediate answer. But when He does, begin immediately to do the thing(s) He shows you in His answer to you. 1 Peter 4:10 tells us that our gifts are given to us for the benefit of others. This is a good way to find your “calling” in life. What is it that you like to do for others that you are good at and that people enjoy? There is a difference in “gifts” versus “talents.” A gift is what you are born with. You are born to do. A talent is a learned skill that you can perfect with practice. So in pursuing your God-given purpose, look for things that come easy to you.

When you are in your purpose, you will know because it just “feels right.” Peace comes with every decision God is involved in. When you live your life according to God’s purpose, you are content no matter what happens or what is going on in your life because you are fulfilled in your purpose.

When we find out that we are responsible for our own happiness things can change for us. We have a different outlook on life.

This is just a start and one of manyways to be happy in life.
