Going downhill, what do I do?

On the part about not being happy : just today I read an article about the difference between happiness and having a meaningful life. It said that people who pursue happiness focus on what they get, while those who want meaning focus on how they contribute to others.

It made me think about my life, and how years ago I wanted certain things to make me happy but it didn’t work. But what has been making me happy is working towards a way to help other people and have purpose in my life. Maybe finding something meaningful to pursue (perhaps a certain career since you’re in school ) could help you. It might even take your mind off of thinking about religion so much, as it has for me.

Thanks for that thought. I think it is placing in words some of what I have been feeling.
