Happiness

Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.
Benjamin Franklin

I find this quote to be very true. While taking Spanish classes, I'd found that the Spanish word for ''happy'' can be translated as ''contento'', ironic that the apostle Paul said in his book to the Philippians that he had found the secret to true happiness is contentment.

Paul says ''I have learned to be content no matter what happens to me I know what its like not to have what I need. I also know what its like to have more than I need. I have learned the secret of being content no matter what happens. I am content whether I am well fed or hungry. I am content whether I have more than enough or not enough. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.''-  Philippians 4:11-13
