Good evening friends. How can we find happiness in our life? Maybe a tough question to someone. But somebody else it’s not. If I were to be asked, for me it’s easy to find happiness in my life. Ourselves is the one ruling us. Let me share you one article which was written by Henry Brandt. You can visit him at www.BiblicalCounselingInsight.com. Let me share with you one of his topic. It’s a nice one.
A line of research concerning a group of young people called "indestructibles" was once reported in a leading psychological journal.
These indestructibles lived under extreme poverty, and came from very bad home conditions that were located in slum neighborhoods. Yet, they were well-adjusted and good students.
That research got me to thinking of some people I've met in my life who fit the description of “indestructibles.”
It is true that we cannot prevent troublesome or sorrowful events from intruding into our lives. But some people live heartily, joyfully, considerately one day at a time. They rely on their power of choice, whether their problems are solved today or not.
My first encounter with an indestructible was when I was a teen-ager.
The man was one of our next-door neighbors. It was during the height of the Depression. People by the droves were out of work; they were losing their life savings as a result of bank failures and were being evicted from their homes. Suicides were frequent. Nervous breakdowns were common.
My neighbor was a highly skilled (and highly paid) tool-and-die-maker. Suddenly, he was without a job or a paycheck. The best he could do was get a job with the WPA, a governmental agency which gave menial jobs to as many people as possible. His assignment: dig ditches.
This seemed a terrible thing to me. Imagine this top-flight craftsman digging ditches!
