When you are going through Hell

Thought for the day from a Bottle of Honest Tea .

"When you are going through Hell - keep going".
A quote from Winston Churchill

Here's an interesting blog post from Dave Shearon's Blog on the quote - and the song by Rodney Adkins and his song by the same title If You're Going Through Hell.

This is great advice for anyone who is going through Hell.
Just keep going.
Because if you stop and stand still, you just might get burnt to a crisp.
So keep moving until you come out on the other side.

Happiness is not the Destination

I saw a customized license plate frame on a car in the parking lot of Ralphs Grocery store
on the corner of Western & Hollywood.
The car was parked right next to mine.

It said "Happiness is not a Destination - its the means of travel."

I like that saying better than the belief that you have to be happy all the time.

A few years back, I had a friend who was always striving to be happy. She thought happiness was the ultimate experience.
She was very miserable in her pursuit of happiness, because whenever there was a problem in her life she became unhappy.
The she would become frustrated at not being happy - which made her even more unhappy.

I never really thought happiness was the ultimate goal.
Instead, there is a deep joy that comes from feeling fulfilled and knowing you are doing what you are meant to do in life.
And that begins with a belief in God, and a belief in things eternal.

Joy is different that happiness. And its possible that while having joy in your life, you'll have some down times.
But just because you hit a bad bump in the road - you can still have that deep inner peace and joy that comes from a place beyond what you can create.
