I laughed when I saw this article on research about happiness. Here is a couple of quotes from the article that tell the story:
“If you lead your life always waiting for a great thing to happen, you probably will be unhappy,” Tamerin said.
“You can choose to live focusing on what is not right in your life,” Dr. Sood said.
And perhaps one of the biggest hindrances to being happy is too much thinking about one’s self, research shows.
“Complainers are never going to be happy,” Ketchian said. “Happiness is a decision.”
I think this research was already in at least a couple of millennia ago. Not surprisingly, there was nothing in the article about holding to a Christian worldview to help facilitate these kinds of behaviors and attitudes.
