Hey everybody, thanks for joining us today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. This is the Bible

teaching ministry of Rick Warren. And today, we're starting a series called The Habits of Happiness.

In this series, Rick dives into the Book of Philippians and helps you discover God's path to

true and lasting happiness.

Well, I can't wait to get started.

Here's part one of a message called Grow Healthy Relationships.

Somebody wrote me this on Facebook.

Pastor Rick, I've walked down many roads searching for happiness, but nothing is ever as good as it promises

to be.

I'm frustrated.

I just want to be happy.

Can you help me?

And I would say to that person, absolutely, I can help you.

I want to start this series by giving you what I call five laws of happiness.

And I apologize that I didn't put space in your outline for this.

So you're just going to have to write on the sides up down the edge because it's not on your

outline.

I added this after I wrote the outline, but I thought it would be a good introduction to this series that

we're going to begin this week. Five laws of happiness. When somebody says, I've been searching for

happiness, I've been looking for happiness, I want to find happiness, this is what I tell them. Number one,

don't look for happiness, create it. Happiness is not something you look for.

Happiness is something you create. And it's your choice. You're as happy as you choose to be.
