People today are confused about happiness. That is because we define happiness by how we feel. If happiness is a sense of pleasure I feel, then most of us are not happy most of the time. And since our feelings have become so important to us we focus on them constantly, thus setting ourselves up for certain defeat. But Jesus defined happiness as the satisfaction of knowing that we have developed Christ like character and we have succeeded in pleasing God and are living for a purpose and meaning larger than ourselves. The key to happiness in this definition is self denial, to quit focusing on ourselves and our feelings and to begin living for God and for others. With that focus, the feeling of happiness will find us.
