It took me a long time to realize that no one could MAKE me happy and it was up to me to make myself happy.
When we get to a place that we take control of our lives and our calling, things begin to change. When we try to find our happiness in people and things around us, we will live a life full of disappointments. We also create a lot of disappointment for people around us when they are constantly feeling like they are letting us down.
Unfortunately, you create relationships based on fear and tension when you are dependent on someone making you happy. When you take control of your happiness and you create a life that you love, then people and things around you simply enhance your life and give you happy moments.
When you create your own happy life, you can then spread joy to the people and world around you. You become the victim of your own unhappiness when you don't take responsibility for creating your own joy and happiness. God and you are the only ones that can create true joy and happiness in your life.
Be intentional about creating and living a life you love so you can be happy no matter what is going on around you. Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
