"As You Sow, So Shall You Reap" (Divine Math)
As inspired by "Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude toward us."
We all want to reap fulfillment and happiness. But it is crucial to understand that fulfillment and happiness are byproducts of our choices. Therefore our goal or focus should not be on fulfillment or happiness, but on the choices we make. We need to be conscious of our choices as they relate to the "Rule or Law of Nature or the Universe". How then do we discern if our choices are in line with the "Law of the Universe"? Well, this "Law of the Universe" boils down to LOVE. Paul said in 1 Timothy 1:5 "the goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith." Therefore if our choices reflect love, we can then be certain that those choices are in conformity with the law of the universe. After all, how can you go wrong with a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. The only other critical issue is making certain that the love we reflect is a higher form of love and not a self-centered love. The amazing thing about this higher love is that it is an inexhaustible resource. The more we give away, the more we generate; and the more we sow, the more we reap.
(I call this... Divine math)
Digging deeper:
Every single thing that happens to us in our lives is a result of our choices.
Every past experience was once a present choice.
Happiness: Always has been; Always will be...it's what we make it
The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything.

I can so fully relate to this....I have always maintained that no one can make us happy...or sad for that matter. It is our gift of free will that allows one emotion to overpower us...we decide on making it a positive one or a negative one....
