In today’s Vision Forward podcast, Stephen Schlabach reminds us that there’s no better time to embrace happiness than right now. He encourages us to count our blessings and smile often, warning against the mindset that postpones joy for a future date. This perspective often stems from focusing on what we lack, but by shifting our attention to the blessings of today, we can uncover a wealth of gratitude. Citing Proverbs 17:22, Stephen shares that “a merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.” He offers a simple prescription: laugh often and choose happiness, as it’s a biblical remedy for life’s challenges.
