“I’ll be happy when I get married and have children.”
“I’ll be happy when I have my own home.”
“I’ll be happy when I land that job.”
“I’ll be happy when…”
At times, all of us might feel this way.
But when we reach a goal, that spurt of joy can quickly fade away.
While the world celebrates the International Day of Happiness on March 20, 2023, we might wonder, “Can I be truly happy?” The answer is yes, you can!
We may be tall, short, old, or young, but the feeling of happiness is universal.
One article on JW.ORG, the website of Jehovah’s Witnesses, says,
“Genuine happiness is linked to finding contentment, avoiding envy, cultivating a love for others, and building mental and emotional resilience.”
That article also explains each of these behaviors, and how they can help us to be truly happy.
For example, under contentment, it says “Findings show that increased material consumption, especially at the cost of moral and spiritual values, can erode happiness.”
This article and other free interactive materials on JW.ORG explain how to attain true happiness, not just for “The International Day of Happiness,” but every single day! Why not take a look?
