I believe that happiness shows much humility. I say this because my dad was happy. And he was humble. The reason these 2 attributes go together is because to be happy, we have to be able to accept that we are not in control and that we are under the direction of a greater power. In my life and in my father’s life, it was trust in God. I asked him one day how it is that he was always happy and at peace. He said that he prayed about everything and then let it go and trusted God in whatever it is.
That kind of faith takes a tremendous amount of humility.
To want to fix the world is noble but it is not our job. We want to be in control but we cannot. To acknowledge that we are not in control and to accept things takes faith and trust and humility.
Things are not perfect, so why be so happy? Because it is not yours to fix and you are showing that you understand your role in life by being happy. You are accepting and forgiving.
It is a wonderful thing.
My dad was the greatest man I have ever known and this part of him was so precious.
Being happy is such a blessing and testimony to having faith and trusting in good outcomes. Blessings to you!
