1. feeling satisfied with yourself.
2. feeling cheerful.
3. feeling power over others.
4. feeling fulfuillment with things and relationships.
5. feeling sorry for the hurting.
6. feeling freedom to choose from many options.
7. feeling freedom from tension
8. feeling the acceptance of the culture.
B. Happiness is...
A solid structure that houses our feelings. A state of being that transcends emotional ups and downs.
C. The house built by being.
The be-attitudes of being. "Your attitude should be the same as taht of Christ Jesus." [Phillipians 2:5]
The attitudes that ought to be will grow us into spiritual maturity
D. Catching the elusive butterfly.
Happiness is not a matter of having but being. As we pursue an attitude of being rather than doing, as we forget the pursuit of happiness-happiness comes. Happiness does not come because we have attained something it comes because we have become something.
