Friends, did you know that people who consider themselves spiritual, are happier overall? Using the definition of spirituality as an inner belief system that a person relies on for strength and comfort, it makes perfect sense.
A University of British Columbia study found that children are happier when they feel that their lives have meaning and value. Numerous other studies, many conducted by agnostics, have also demonstrated a close link between spirituality and happiness. A strong internal life purpose enhances our wellbeing.
The only answer to our [unhappiness] is a pleasure which comes not from the body but from a place deep within us.

Does it make me a happier person? I think so. It's this connection to a higher power, something greater than myself, that allows me to feel confident and secure with my place on this earth.
