Next Steps
The overall theme talked about in this website is money, success, and material things are not what bring happiness or fulfillment.
So what does? The answers is simple but yet so many people fail to realize it. Jesus is the answer. God instilled an emptiness in all people. This emptiness is meant to be filled by God. "We all have a hunger in our hearts for God — an empty place in our souls that only He can fill. The Psalmist in the Bible put it this way: “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?” (Psalm 42:2)(Billy Graham). People who fail to realize this, jam so many things in their life and try so hard to fill the hole inside of them but it fails to work.

I personally find my faith to be essential to a healthy lifestyle. It helps me identify my purpose and persevere when challenges arise. This website has talked about how life throws curveballs. Life may seem sweet for a season, but in a blink of an eye everything can change for the worst. Covid-19 is happening during the making of this website. "A record, 3.3 million Americans have filed for unemployment due to the Corona Virus" (Washington). This statistic accounts for only the people who have lost their jobs; it does not account for the people who's jobs who have been put on hold. There are so many unknowns in the world right now. Finding fulfillment in a job, success, or how much money is in the bank account in this season could result in a spike in depression and a feeling of failure. Jobs have the potential to be so stressful, families may distance themselves because of stress, and healthy lifestyle choices may help provide relief of every day life. Even, if people find their fulfillment in God, it does not mean life will be without problems or stress. But, it does off a perspective that is greater than the moment you are in.
