Finding True Happiness

Are you perfectly happy? Or are you still looking for happiness? There can
be no doubt that at one time or another in your life you attained that which
you believed would make you happy. When you got what you wanted, were
you happy?
Look at your heart. It tells the story of why you were made.
There is one thing in the world that is definitely and absolutely your own,
and that is your will. Health, power, life, and honor can all be snatched from
you, but your will is irrevocably your own, even in Hell. Hence, nothing
really matters in life, except what you do with your will.
Do you know that, if you give your freedom to God, in Heaven you
will have no freedom of choice, because once you possess the Perfect, there
is nothing left to choose; and still you will be perfectly free, because you
will be one with Him whose heart is Freedom and Love.
- Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
