🚨Wanna crack the code? #LifeHack 👇🏼🚨

Honestly reflect: how do you feel when you’re alone with your thoughts at night?

What emotions arise about the day ahead when you first wake up in the morning?

More people in the U.S. are depressed than ever before. 🤔

The happiest people I know fall asleep each night like babies in a peaceful state, and wake up fired up each day to attack everything that lies ahead.🔥

The irony is most people look at these individuals as if they are boring, too strict, or missing out. 🤦🏻‍♂️

You can keep chasing entertainment…
You can keep chasing things that distract you from reality…
You can keep chasing new levels…

The world’s chase for happiness is fleeting. The best self-help book in the world (The Bible) calls it a chasing after the wind.

This same great book also teaches 8 Steps to True Happiness in life, and it’s totally opposite of what most people pursue. 🤯

If you read Jesus’ first sermon in Matthew 5, he lists 8 characteristics of “Blessed people…

Blessed are those…
Blessed are those…
Blessed are those…

This word Blessed in Greek translates to HAPPY.

And it’s an exclamation! “Oh how HAPPY are those”…

✔️ Who are broken…
✔️ Who are humble…
✔️ Who give up their old ways & pursue holiness…
✔️ Who share the peace of Jesus with others…
✔️ Who are hated for their beliefs.

Crazy, right?!

👎🏼 Totally opposite of following our hearts…
👎🏼 Or doing what feels good cuz it makes us happy…
👎🏼 Or accepting and loving ourselves just the way we are.

Jesus starts this message to his disciples (learners), and the crowd behind them tuning in (people who want to see if this next “trend” is for them), with the happiness they will find by following Him, God’s commands, and the new Way to life.

But he’s about to tell them to BRACE themselves.

It’s even more than what we do, it’s what we think. (Angry thoughts not just actions)

If you even feel lust for another it’s adultery.

You can’t just love people you like, you must love your enemies.

The reality: none of us can do it. Cuz we’re not perfect.

So we must pursue the only One who can—- Jesus.

You want to be happy?

Oh how happy we’ll be when we give up our old lives of selfish desires and vein ambition and humble ourselves to truly desire God and what He desires.

➡️ Narrow is the Gate (Jesus).
➡️ Broad is the path to destruction (the world’s ways).

Not many will find or make the one that leads to life.💯

But YOU can when you choose something different today. Romans 10:9, Acts 2:38

Don’t take my word for it, take His. ✝️

And it may just be an absolute game-changer for you and everyone in your life.
