The more you chase after happiness the farther away it gets. When you are trying to make yourself happy, happiness just slips through your fingers like sand in the wind. However when work to make others happier and you focus on them then happiness comes you. It's not something you can chase directly and get for yourself, happiness works the opposite way when you pursue it happiness it gets farther always but when you work for other to make them happy happiness comes to you. So many people try to buy it but happiness can't be packaged. Maybe when you buy something it makes you happy for awhile but it will get old and you will need something else to be happy.

Is there anything you can do your whole life and still be happy doing it? I mean if you got your meals somehow and that's all you did for the rest of your life. If you only played a sport and that's it, nothing else. Or if you only played the piano all day everyday. What about if you were connected to God, and all day you could talk to Him, sit in His presence , or just have Him in mind as you go through your day, would that make you happy? Isn't God the only thing we can do for long periods of time that makes us feel happy? People get annoying and tv gets boring but God can last forever and each minute can get better than the last.
