Tipps für ein glückliches Leben?

Hello, Moroi,

People define happiness very different. Lucky is often associated with money, possession, success or health. Although all this can provide a certain joy, real happiness is something far deeper!

Real happiness is therefore possible, but depends on various factors. One of these factors is real Contents. It is already in the Bible that money and possession play only a subordinate role when it comes to satisfaction and happiness.

The Biblical King Solomon wrote: “Who loves silver will never be filled with silver, and who loves wealth, never from income. This is also meaningless” (Prediger 5:10). In other words, who chases after the money will never get enough of it and therefore never be satisfied.

When Solomon was one of the richest people on earth at his time, he knew exactly what he was talking about. Despite his enormous wealth, he came to the conclusion: “But when I thought about all the works that had done my own hands, and about all the hard work I had done with a lot of effort, I saw that everything was meaningless—as if I wanted to catch the wind.” (Prediger 2:11).

So for King Solomon, a life in riches and prunk was quite empty and untenable. Many people in today’s time can fully confirm this. They have noticed that money does not really make happy, rather on the contrary!

What also contributes to satisfaction and happiness is that you no envy feelings is developed, but is satisfied with its own achievements and own property. envy can destroy relationships and poison an inner so that you can no longer enjoy the beautiful sides of life.

A remedy, on the other hand, is humility and modesty, qualities that have come more or less out of fashion. The Bible gives the right hint when it says, “We do not want to become selfish, do not compete with each other or envy each other” (Galather 5:26).

Fortunately, too, to love and to be loved by others. This means that human warmth and security are found in fixed relationships. The Bible expresses this: “Of all these things, but love, for it is a perfect bond of unity” (Colossians 3:14).

What makes life easier is the effort to make the best and use setbacks to the advantage. This then contributes to developing inner strength and not getting ready with sentences, such as: “I don’t devour anything,” or “I’m a total failure.”

Who accepts that it belongs to life to make mistakes and fails, is far better in life. Who is constantly unsatisfied with himself and his life, loses his inner hold and will not be happy.
