“Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding.” Prov.3
A recent study concluded that when happy people have no real defining purpose to their life beyond a selfish pursuit to be happy, they tend to have poorer health. This makes perfect sense to me. To find my happiness only in pleasure or just pleasing myself can lead to all kinds of nasty habits. People who base their happiness on some purpose greater than themselves tend to develop healthy habits. We would all do well to ask, “What defines my life?” What gives meaning to it?
