Finding Happiness
Discipline and balance equal joy. An odd combination.
Or at least one we don’t think of very often.
When we think of intense happiness, we think of family. We think of good times. We think of Christmas morning.
And joy there is at such times.
But long-lasting, continual joy comes by way of spiritual discipline, it comes in exaltation of the Cross, which brings balance and brings us closer to the love and Mind of God.
You can go from “drug” to “drug”: from money and sex and vacations and consumerism and indulgent eating to every form of past-time and entertainment and you will not find yourself content in a permanent fashion until the inside is purged and there is an evenness in your life that opens the door to grace.
Often, we commit excesses — we are out of balance — because we are trying to fill an inner void.
