To me, the key to happiness is finding purpose- a purpose that’s so much bigger than yourself, and contributing to it. Happiness comes when you answer a calling and make it your passion, purpose, and life’s work. Becoming an advocate for the bullied and tackling things about bullying that few people think about is where I get my happiness.
That purpose is informing others aspects of bullying that no one talks about and in that, helping targets reclaim their personal power. This is so much bigger than me. And it’s why it feels so rewarding!
Contributing to helping others more successfully battle bullying isn’t for material gain, fame, or fortune. It’s for my spiritual fulfillment. It’s the inner rewards I get. Rewards of the heart- knowing that this is making a difference and making the world a better place- even if just a little bit.
There’s no reward that matches that! I want to be the person I needed when I was targeted years ago.
Sure. Material rewards are nice, don’t get me wrong. And I certainly won’t turn them down if I’m ever blessed with them. I would love to make a good living doing what I love. After all, I’m human too.
But at the end of the day, the inner rewards- the rewards to the heart and spirit are more satisfying than I ever thought they would be.
It’s what keeps me going and it’s where my fulfillment comes from.
That is awesome. That is so true. And that is the meaning of, “Store up your treasures in heaven” – they will not rust or be lost in time.
The rewards are great for helping others.
Amen! Thank you so much! ❤
For me, happiness is making something from nothing collaborating, creating and sharing…If it can help people…well even better.. I think this can come under your umbrella of finding a purpose bigger than yourself in life:)
Absolutely it can! Always do what fulfills you! 💖
Can’t argue, this is very true that happiness comes from finding your purpose in life.
Thank you for this! 🤗🙏🏻
You’re most welcome, Maria! Bless you! 💖😊🙏

Exactly what you said. Purpose has to be found out. The Reality. True Identity of Self. Finding that is my purpose, that I understand. Regards 🙏

I enjoyed reading of your motivation, and thank you for sharing it. I very much agree that finding a purpose — and acting on that purpose — are key to creating happiness. A purpose brings the feeling of doing something valuable. Your post reminded me of this Albert Einstein quote: “We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life. All that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.”
Thank you so much, Dave! I love this quote! Albert Einstein was wise beyond his years- even into his elder years! 🙂
This is so true and beautiful saiid ❤
This means a lot. Thank you so much. <3

I think the key to happiness is making those we care about happy.
You’re right. That’s another key to happiness. But first we must love ourselves before we can truly love others. We must be happy before we can make others happy. Happiness starts inside you, then it can radiate outward and spread to those you care about. When you’re happy, you naturally want to make others happy, especially those you care about. 🤗💖💐🌹💫
Purposeful living is important and that’s what brings fulfilment in people’s lives
Absolutely right! Thank you so much for your lovely comment! <3
This is beautiful. 💚
Thank you so much. This means a lot. 😊💖
So agree❤️
Happiness is something that many strive to obtain and some are successful in finding it. My family and I really enjoyed the following link. Happiness is obtainable. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/awake-no1-2018-mar-apr/way-of-happiness-hope/
Thank you so much. I’ll check it out.
One thing that makes me happy is reading the Bible daily. Mathew 5:3-Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need. Since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them.
That’s a great point, Shonnie! Reading the Bible is food for the spirit and mood.
