Episode 10 - HAPPINESS: You need purpose! Unity in our spiritual, mental, and emotional lives
It is important as spiritual beings, as Christians, and Catholics to strive for happiness. And we can make a lot of choices for it that are perfectly in alignment with our highest values and everything we believe.
Happiness helps us be what God intends. We use the word “happiness” to refer to thriving, flourishing, and cooperating with grace. Purpose has an important role to play in happiness.
You have spiritual, mental, and emotional components: you want these things to be in congruence because you want all that awesome Catholic and interior spiritual life to flow through you without getting derailed by the mental and emotional aspects, which are very much a part of you.
It's actually disturbing how many people get to midlife and say, I've been doing this thing for so many years and actually it's not aligned with who I am. And gosh, now that I think about it, it really is affecting my happiness in life - my flourishing, my thriving.
If you are trying to create a sense of purpose, think in terms of action that connects you to something bigger than yourself.
Don’t get pulled into our “success” culture and think you need to be doing some “big” thing. God loves you and we don’t think His ideas of what’s “big” or “small” don’t match very well with our own ideas. Love has its own calculus.
We would love to hear from you!
