Thanks so much @surpassinggoogle for wanting to help us with our dreams. God alone will reward you for this.
My goal in life is to help instill happiness and joy in people, through the encouragement of the scriptures. I want to know that they need to find that inner joy in them, that is not dependent on what they go through. That joy that flows that flows like a spring from within them, outward to those around them.

Something I noticed about myself over the past few years is that in the pursuit of happiness, I forgot to be happy. I see it in so many people. People tend to do whatever they can if they think it means happiness in the future, but it makes them unhappy in the present. Sometimes you have to forget about the past and forget about the future, just be happy in the present. I have found that its not about how much money you have, or how many friends you have, where you are from, or any other factors other than your attitude and outlook on life. By quantifying what you think you need to be happy, you set yourself up for sadness because once you have it, you will find that it did not bring you the happiness you wanted, and it makes you sadder than you were before. Happiness is something you choose for yourself, you can choose to be happy with what you have here and now, and with whatever you get in the future, or you can chose to quantify it through your life's objectives only to never find it. Even though I can try to explain it, it can only be a nudge in the right direction, because it isn't something that can be taught. It is something you have to find for yourself. You have to find it in the scriptures. But once you find it your work isn't done. There will circumstances, and people who bring you down, there will be tragedy, death, and heartbreak; things that can snap you back into sadness, but only if you let it. You have to continually find happiness within yourself, even when times get tough. Its hard at first, but it gets easier. You just gotta remember to be happy every day, and that's the hard part.
I desire to carry a campaign that would go around encouraging people to choose to be happy, irrespective of what they've been through.
well said, i admired your views, desires and plans. @surpassinggoole is a blessing of GOD for us. our best wishes always for him. be happy all the time.
