What can we learn about happiness from these Biblical quotes?

These inspirational quotes teach the following:

1. Balance Work and Play. Many work long hours thinking that making more money will solve all of their problems but it’s the exact opposite. When your mind is focused on just making money you miss out on all the joys of life such as spending time with family and friends. This will cause them to suffer in many ways-not to mention yourself. Therefore, it is best to live a more balanced life. One where you will have time to sit back and enjoy life instead of stressing about money problems.

2. Look and Think Happy. Even though life has its ups and downs there is no excuse to lose your joy. When hard times arise, instead of walking around sulking and depressed walk with your head high and smile. This will help to bring you back to high spirits. Remember that it’s not the end of the world. Also, avoid thinking negative and belittling thoughts. They will only cause you to feel more and more depressed. Happy thoughts lead to happy feelings.
