Be Happy and Content

by Diana Chriscille Alvarado

I am truly blessed to listen to Michelle's talk about How to be Happy & Content. All my life I have taught myself to be hungry, always look for something to chase, and never get contented of what is comfortable. It is true. It is so difficult to be happy and contented, nowadays. Fashion magazine dictates that when we look like this, we can be happy. Social media dictates than when we have a nice house, thousands of virtual friends, travel when you please, and have the latest iPhone, we can be happy. How does one become truly happy and content anyway?

In Philippians 4:11-12, it says,

"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."

In Michelle's talk, I have learned that true happiness is anchored in CHRIST.

Cultivate Gratitude

Help or serve others

Revel in the ordinary

Invest in relationship

Savor the moment

It is by having a heart of gratitude, by valuing what we have instead of what we do not have, do we feel content. It is by knowing that we have maximized our time here on earth by investing in relationships do we feel happy.

Thank you, Michelle, for reminding me of what truly matters.
