Don't Just Want to Be Happy

When asked what we want out of life, often we answer, “I just want to be happy.” In truth, that answer's short-sighted.

“Happiness is not a destination; it's a byproduct.” – Michael Hyatt.

When we live for our own happiness, we drift through life like a ship with no rudder randomly knocked around by the waves of life to some random end.

But when we understand our God-given calling, and intentionally move toward that goal, happiness happens. We enjoy happiness, not by selfishly pursuing it, but as a byproduct of doing what we were created to do.
