The safer foundations for true happiness are: divine filiation, the love of God and the motherhood of Mary. These great divine goods are not altered by external circumstances and serve to keep the joy in every situation. Whatever the difficulty, one remains a child of God and Mary and the Lord still loves us. 5. And the sins? Because get us away from God, we may think that the base of the joy is shaky. Then, to the above goods must be added: the divine mercy, and confession. Thus, although there are sins in our life, the joy is not lost as the rediscovery of God is within our reach. The Lord love me, and love is merciful. This is a firm foundation to be happy, so for a Christian the false and unreal is unhappiness. 6. Supernatural means to improve happiness? Prayer is a great way to restore joy, especially meditation on the great divine goods that are the basis of profound joy, divine filiation and Marian devotion, the Lord's mercy, and so on. It will also help the petition's prayer which goes to the divine aid and protection. The confession .- Produces immediate joy. It's been proven. Retrieving the union with God, the soul rejoices. 7. Human means to be happy? Exercising will in this direction. Striving to smile sincerely. It is an outward act, but it helps to make the internal elevate mood. Active mortification, one is looking for. Small wins help keep you happy. Also offering to God the passive suffering may help, but this requires more supernatural vision. Service to others, because this forget of ourselfs, free us of many worries, and give sincere to others is so effective, that God rewards with a joyful humility. Some rudimentary means to be happy: getting enough sleep, a hot shower, a glass of wine - if its a good wine one may say- a pleasant reading, walking, hiking or sports, a friendly conversation, and so on. 8. Partying produce joy? Only superficial and momentary joy. This allows it to be confused with true joy. The joy of the fun fades quickly and repeat calls for revelry. Something similar happens with drugs.
