possessions, and is therefore anchored in one's life. Every moment of our life has its
meaning, whether we recognize it immediately or later on. Happiness results from doing
something we enjoy, when our soul is at rest, and our heart cries out with happiness.
Happiness sustains people in the face of the world's despair and hostility.
Moreover, what makes life worth living is a positive outlook in the face of adversity and the
courage that comes from believing you can rise above it. And while we are made to be happy in
some ways, the truest and highest form of happiness is found in God. Simply put, happiness is as
serene as sunrise, as warm as daylight, and as sincere as the afterglow.
