What gets in the way of happiness?

Neal Tadken ( Associate Rector for Pastoral Care) gives expert video advice on: Is happiness worth pursuing?; What are the essential ingredients of happiness?; What gets in the way of happiness? and more...

I think the things that probably most interfere with happiness are self-absorption and insecurity. Because insecurity often causes us to focus on ourselves only, instead of on others. I think we get a lot more happiness when we can focus on other people and feel like we're contributing to their lives. Which is, in essence, what I think what love is; love is an action, love is a behavior, it is wanting the best, not only for yourself, but for other people, and taking the steps to let that out, and happiness, again, is a byproduct of that.
