I'm usually a pretty happy person. At least until my situation changes. A good night's sleep, a productive day, a nice run with some sunshine, and I’m feeling good. But throw me bad night's sleep, an sick kid, a frustrating conversation, or too many meetings, and suddenly my happiness can disappear pretty quickly. Is your happiness dependent on your circumstances as much as mine? While I spend a lot of time trying to maximize the good and minimize the bad, life doesn't always cooperate.
But what if maximizing happiness isn’t really possible? What if it’s not even the point? What if we’re not supposed to remove or ignore the pain, disappointment, and sorrow that are inevitably part of life? This Sunday, in The Kingdom of This & That, we'll explore Joy & Sorrow and discover how we may be created to hold both together, even when life isn't going according to plan.
