Episode 32 - The Willing Sacrifice of our own Happiness

Do we really have the ability to choose whether or not to be happy? At the risk of sounding overly reductive, I would argue that we do have the choice. While there are many arenas in which our happiness is battling it out with something else, I'll be focusing today's episode on the ongoing battle between happiness and pride. I share some of my own experiences of the battle between pride and happiness and how those choices have shaped my life since. I also offer an interpretation of the famous parable, The Prodigal Son that offers a similar lesson on the consequences of this battle. I hope you find a greater awareness of your own waging battles, and pray that you find the strength to choose happiness over pride. Thanks for listening, it means the world-TJ
