It's official, study after study in the field of positive
psychology is telling us what the Bible has said for 2,000 years.
The keys to being deeply happy are eight key qualities. The
happiest people... 1. Are grateful, teachable, and humble 2. Have
processed their mistakes, wounds, pain, and losses 3. Have
developed impulse control and use their emotions to fuel and enjoy
life 4. Pursue their dreams and positive purpose with diligence 5.
Are forgiving, non-judgmental and gracious 6. Think positive,
beneficial, constructive thoughts rejecting unethical, and selfish
thoughts 7. Savor each day, harmonize with the people around them,
and do not attack others 8. Set boundaries for themselves and
others and sacrifice to protect those boundaries. The problem with
the above list is that we don't believe the studies and we don't
really want any of these qualities. We still think that the key to
happiness is money, power, popularity and/or pleasure. But true
long lasting happiness is from the inside out. I believe that God
wants our best even though we may not and so He enrolls us in
classes to develop these missing ingredients. We can either
cooperate with Him or fight what He is trying to teach. It is
important to realize which class God has enrolled us in because
these classes have quizzes, tests and finals. If you do not pass
the exams then you stay in the same course. I know people who have
been enrolled in anger management class for thirty years and still
haven't passed the final. God knows that your ultimate joy and
happiness will be in the development of the eight qualities listed
above so He constantly gives you opportunities to work on these
qualities. I am amazed at the difference in the lives of people who
begin cooperating with God on these qualities rather than fighting
Him. Remember it is official, the happiest people have the above
qualities.
