I was striving so hard to achieve Happiness before, That is because I have this wrong idea about Happiness. I thought Happiness was not worrying because you have money, food, shelter, and a love life, and you will be happy as long as you have a job, house, food on the table, and a good relationship.
I also thought that practicing being contented with what you have is the key to happiness. That if you are content with what you have, then that's it.
I was wrong. only 2 years ago when I discovered what Happiness for me really is.
Some will say that Happiness is when you don't have anything to worry about. Yes! the description is right, but if it still involves security. it is wrong
I learned what happiness is during the time when everyone was scared and sad. That was during the pandemic that I learned about happiness.
Before I always used to ask God for money, luck, and everything that brings joy to the flesh. Now my only prayer is for Him not to abandon me.
I don't know what happened to me during the pandemic, the truth is I was never scared. During those times, I never felt any worries, I don't have a job at that time but I was not scared. I can't say that I don't know how I survive d pandemic because the truth is I know.

This might sound corny to you and others might debate me (please don't :)) I survived the Pandemic because God took care of me. When everyone was sad because they cannot go out to enjoy themselves, God made me busy with my hobbies, When everyone was worried about money, God provided me with an opportunity to earn. When everyone was getting sick, I also got infected, but I did not suffer from fever or difficulty breathing. I was asymptomatic.
Then I started to realize that even though the whole world is in Chaos, I was not abandoned by My God. Then I felt happy, and my happiness from that day remains until now.
Most of the time I will look up in heaven telling God that I am Happy.
But why am I happy? I'm happy because I don't have any fears anymore; bad days will come and I will still be fine. I have discovered that as long as you have faith trust and love in God, he will be by your side.
That you don't need to worry because he will not abandon you.
Since then, I have not worried anymore. Whatever happens to the world, I will not worry anymore because I have already proven that God loves His people. Meaning, there is no need to worry; He will always provide for and protect those who believe in Him. And because of this, I'm living a worry-free life.
Many people don't trust God, they depend on themselves too much. We are just humans, even if all your merchandise is good and cheap, If God will not provide us with customers, we will not have a sale.
Even if you have a good-paying job today, you can lose it tomorrow. If you can only be happy with things that can be destroyed and taken away from you, you will find it hard to be happy.
But if your happiness is inside you, no one can take it away from you.
Find Jesus, don't just call Him because you need help, instead ask God what He wants you to fulfill. Bow your head and be humbleand you will find the happiness that I'm talking about.
