Connected, Not Happy

from The Work of Being Human · host Vanessa Bentley

The most universal human desire is the desire for happiness, yet so many of us spend our days in such misery. We believe we'll find happiness in relationships, success, achievements, property, or wealth. We look ahead from milestone to milestone, goal to goal, and believe we'll be happy when we get _____. But it's elusive. We spend our lives chasing a carrot. One industry points us here, the churches point us there, and our hearts stay in the pursuit, not the pleasure of happiness. Today we're going to talk about what happiness is really all about, what's in our control, what's not, and how to engage the process of happiness, not pursue the outcome.
