Life is Good. God wants you to have a good life-- an abundant life. He will help you do what will make it good for you.

Find your purpose

Do we have the "right" to feel fulfilled?
one never achieves the feeling of fulfillment by pursuing it

I'm fulfilled in what I do. I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes - the finer things of life - would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.
