You become more trusting and loving. You feel more empowered because through Him, anything is possible. All good things will come when you believe that.

I'm not perfect but no one says you have to be. But these are all the things we seek. And in all other things, we can't seem to find these things we so badly seek. Why not try God? What do you have to lose?

I mean, it might be a waste of your time. But so are the alternate solution you are trying now or have tried in the past. How will you know it will work? Just like how will you know God won't work?

Can you testify to either?

Just something to think about.

i guess you just have to see where life takes you and make the best of it maybe what you think is the wrong option turns out to be the best decision that you have ever made

it makes me feel more at peace with myself

I say all this to challenge you to think about your blessings. You will be more at peace when you recognize your blessings. It will bring about true humility. We have dreams. But our dreams are merely

manifestations of happiness. They aren't concrete. Dreams change. But when you achieve something that brings about that manifestation of happiness, that's a dream.

You have to be flexible and open enough to accept that.

i dont know how to do that

i am willing to be more flexible but how do you do that

do i just accept that I am not going into the career i want, do i accept that i am not getting a BS degree, how rosie how do i reach that happiness

Trust me, your happiness will not lie in accomplishment of your career. Your happiness should lie in something eternal. Your career comes and goes. Or you could go through hard and really happy times.

But if you place your happiness in that, you'll be riding a rollercoaster all day long.

Joy will come from God. It doesn't mean that you can't feel sad. Joy comes from true satisfaction deep down in your heart.

*should not lie

Happiness is only the surface emotion expressed. Joy is the true emotion in your heart.

For example, I can be happy but my heart is crying.

Anyways, I'm digressing. Auralina, do you get where I'm coming from? Tell me if I'm confusing you.

no i understand...i understand you perfectly well..joy is something more than just a feeling, its a way of life, its not something based on objects or goals, its like accepting who you are & what you have
