Happiness

Over the past couple months I have been heading in a new, fantastic direction with my life but have found it oddly lacking the happiness I had before said change. I find that very few things actually make me happy. Hanging out with friends used to give me the most happiness, but now has become an event of much less joy. I have a few theories as to why I feel like I am less happy with things in my life that were, before, very fulfilling for me.


Here is my theory...In my "new Direction" I have been experiencing some extremely powerful spiritual moments associated with gaining a testimony that dwarf things like playing a video game or chatting with friends, etc. What I was experiencing before I became active was just "fun" being mistaken as happiness(worldly happiness). It's like before I was used to eating cheap ground beef for a good meal and now I eat Fillet Mignon every day and tasting ground beef is lame.

This change is obviously great, but at the same time is a little bittersweet. I find myself growing jealous of the joy that my prior self took in such simple activities. I think I am going to try to space out my time spent hanging out with people so that I will appreciate it more.

For anyone who actually reads this crap I will be making a post on service soon. I have had some amazing chances come at me in the last week to do service, which is awesome because I totally prayed to have more chances to serve!
