Hey friends this is Leah and this is your Monday motivation. Okay I know I'm guilty of this.

Unfortunately and this is something I am trying to root out of my life, but I am guilty of saying the words I just

want you to be happy that phrase in fact that word happy it's kind of

bugging me lately I don't know about you but I think we

really want more than happiness in fact I think we want a lot more than just happiness, but yet it's something casual or it's kind of placates the situation when we say this phrase to people.

Well, I just want you to be happy I just want but do we really do

we really here's what I think I think that we want more than happiness in our life

because happiness is this emotion of feeling and it is fleeting. I mean think about it.

Think about your entire life all that has happened all that's made you you I would imagine that you probably have not been in a

perpetual state of happiness for your entire existence. You have been through

some tough times some really good times you've experienced

probably suffering and loss, failures, successes, big wins, big losses, all

everything in between. But all of it doesn't always bring happiness, although you can be content with your life.

And of course we have those moments that do exist, that do bring joy and peace.

But I think when we talk about happiness,

it's something that the world has really constructed

to make us just feel comfortable in our decisions, even if they weren't right.

You see, we want more than happiness. I think what we want is purpose. We want purpose.

Purpose is what drives you. Purpose is what goes beyond and pushes through when happiness leaves.

Happiness is a nice side effect that will happen once in a while,

and it is good, and it should be acknowledged and appreciated.

But what we really want is purpose, because purpose leads to mission.
