Happy vs. Great

img_3150

We hear the saying, “Do what makes you happy” very often when we are discussing vocations and lifestyle choices. At the core of this is an essential truth – follow things that make you deeply satisfied. However, this is often misconstrued in our minds. You will not always feel ‘happy’ when you are following an ambitious and deeply satisfying goal. You will experience hardship, stress, doubt and seasons of uncertainty. This is not a signal that you should stop – it is a journey that is building you to appreciate your hard work towards the end. If the goal you are seeking is still the overall thing that makes you light up with purpose, gather support around you and keep going.
