I am reading a new book. It is a bible study called "Managing Your Moods" my husband will be the first to thank God I'm doing this :)
Today's lesson was on Happiness. It is amazing we don't think about the way we lower our standards so that we will be happy, we avoid situations that may compromise that happiness.
"I want no regrets, so I will take no chances. I do not want to feel shame, so I will blend quietly into the crowd. I don't want to be disappointed, so I'll lower my expectations. I do not feel happy when I am embarrassed, so I will avoid speaking up. I don't want to experience sadness, so I will not allow myself to care. We set up emotional comfort zones and stay within them. No one can make us budge, not even the Lord."
My question is... is this happiness? And is it really worth that cost?
God help me break out of my comfort zone of "happiness"
