Great post. I can also add that happy people are those who know what they were intended to do and they are zealously engaged in doing it. Thanks for sharing!

In reply to Carol Peterson. Yep, it is in giving that we receive. I also find when I encourage others, I'm encouraged in the same way. It helps for sure. Thanks for your thoughtful comments Carol!

Reading these characteristics reminded me of the Apostle Paul. Content in all circumstances.

I always wanted to be Barnabus–the encourager. I find that what makes me happy is proactively thinking what would encourage someone else. It’s not all that altruistic though because I figure encouraging others is really what gives ME courage myself. It’s like “self talk” projected outwardly, if that makes sense.

I think all of these points boils down to having an outward focus. If we’re thinking about life outside of our own skin, whatever is happening inside our skin or our heads doesn’t seem to loom so large.

Nice post, Chris.
