VIKTORIOUS MINISTRIES

What will make me happy? This is a question that haunts many people in today’s world. One thing I can assure you of is that the power of choice will not make you happy. They have actually proven that the third-world countries are happier than we are in North America. How about that; you give a person a choice and it makes them depressed.

That could be the biggest problem in North American culture is our self-centeredness. It’s always about ME. It’s never about my family; it’s never about my job or my career. It’s never about the client or about the person to whom you are working for; no it’s about you.

I mean the list could go on and on; disrespectful to Parents, Grandparents, relatives, friends, etc. We make our lives all about ourselves and then wonder why were not happy. Do want to know why you’re not happy?

It’s because you’re a terrible person. There I said it. And if you are mad and offended right now, or you have clicked off this page, you proved that I’m right. I mean, if you were really a good person you would be established in that fact and nothing I said about you would offend you.

But by you being offended that tells me three things.

One, you know what nobody else knows about your life. You know what you do; when you go home and you’re all alone, and nobody else is watching. You may put on a show in broad daylight; with your friends and family watching; but the person you really are is when you’re all by yourself; when only GOD is watching.

Two, you value other peoples opinions more than your own. Maybe you believe that you really are the failure that the people you care about say you are.

Maybe you’ve never felt loved your entire life and have tried to impress people by doing a “good job” and doing everything they ask you to do so that they will appreciate you. You seem to have a huge void in your life, and although you have taken many different avenues, you have not been able to fill it.

Three, you’re trying to change and you hate the person that you have become. Maybe you have struggled with addiction; maybe you’ve become that father or mother that you vowed you’d never become.

You believe that before you can ever love yourself, you’d first have to change yourself. And now there’s another problem creeping in; you have begun to accept that this is just “who you are”.

And now, you mad at me for pointing that out. Think for just a minute though; if I know what your problem is; maybe I have your solution…………….

Yesterday we asked “What brings Happiness”? We discussed some of the problems and I gave you the first solution to why most people are not “Happy”.

The second problem most of have is that we believe happiness can be achieved by goal setting. We write down a list of things that we THINK will make us happy. That of course is based our belief, that we know what will make us happy.

I’m sure you’ve done this yourself. Maybe you thought of places you’d like to go, thought of your dream job or the different jobs you’d like to do in your life time. Maybe you’ve even thought of the “perfect family” that you would like to have, and so on and so forth……

We all have dreams, and although they maybe different, they all have one thing in common; there in the future! Don’t you think it’s funny how we never arrive in the future; but that’s the place we for happiness.

This is depression problem number two: Depression always looks to the future and it can never be happy today.

Goal setting is fine, there’s nothing wrong with that; but if you believe that once you achieve those goals you’ll be happy, I’ve got news for you; you’ll never be any happier than you are today!

If you don’t believe that you’re as happy as you can be TODAY; you will never be as happy as you can be tomorrow. This may come as a shock to you; but life doesn’t get any better than this! It’s your poor outlook that’s keeping you from living the life that you desire; not the people around you!

Maybe all your life you have wanted to get out of the “small town” you came from or maybe you wanted to move away from your parents to become “your own person” and list goes on and on and on. But the problem is you’re placed your happiness in your current position in life and you’re hoping the future can solve your problems.

But the future never comes. The goals that you set for yourself, those things you had never done before, they didn’t bring you happiness. And to be honest with you, I’m not sure why you ever thought they would.

I mean you had never been there before; you had never done those things; so why did you consider yourself an expert on your own life and decided all by yourself that “This will make me Happy”?

Get rid of you’re idiotic ideas about Happiness. Get rid of the idea that the future holds happiness; because it is the well-known “carrot on stick” (to your mind). Decide that you’re going to be happy today! Realize that it’s today that holds the secret of happiness, not the future. Join me again tomorrow……

What will make me happy? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Most people today suffer from a disease called depression. Although I am not a scientist, or a psychologist, I know that depression is a result of guilt and there is way you can be happy; instead of sad.

The problem with most people though, is they think they know what makes them happy. That’s why, right now, I’m asking you to put aside every thought and belief that you have of so called “happiness”. There, now that we have done that, we can go into this with an open mind-set.

If something‘s not working in your life, don’t act like you know what the problem is; because if you did, you would correct the problem right away (unless of course you really do know what you’re supposed to change in your life and refuse to do it).

Don’t let pride get in the way of your answer. You may be thinking, why am I even listening to this guy right now anyway? What does he know? It’s not so much who I am, what it’s really about is the problem you haven’t been able by yourself.

I mean, let me ask you something. How long has it been since you were last living the life you really wanted to live? 5 years, 10 years, surely not 20 years! Have you ever lived the life that you truly desire and long for?

Well, this will surely not do. I assure you that you do not have to live beneath your means any longer. Just remember one thing; GET RID OF YOUR OLD IDEAS OF WHAT HAPPINESS IS!

Because I will promise you this; until you can change your mind-set toward the world that you live in, it will not matter what changes take place around you, you will be depressed like you always have and your poor outlook will make you poor.

Follow me over these next few days and together, we will rediscover what happiness really is so that you can live a life of contentment, joy and peace.
