Sorry but even then, you’ll get grumpy or depressing days. If Mother Teresa still had 'em despite her being one of those few people being really close to God, what hope is there for your average joe?Happiness is completely a spiritual condition (inside). The state of one’s soul is directly related to happiness. As a person advances spiritually, the more happiness he acquires. As one gets closer to God, he becomes happier.
More virtue = More happiness
More Grace = More happiness
More efficacious prayer life = More happiness
Less sin = More happiness
More like Jesus = More happiness
Happiness comes from using the gifts that God has given us to the best of our abilities.
Also, I’m quite aware of my grave sins but that doesn’t mean there’s a logical link between them and what’s really bothering me. It’s likely the same with everyone else.
