Happiness should not be our goal or objective, however what I get out of the quote is that God's purpose or path for us is going to line up with our preferences and desires. Like I mentioned in the post, that doesn't mean that there won't be challenges or things we don't like along the way -but ultimately I think His purpose for our lives will be found in things that we enjoy doing. I also agree that working hard is going to part of the process, but just working hard for God is not what He wants - He wants us to obey and follow His will @zgreenwell

The first reason is that as Christians our objectives should be first to bring honor to God and try to draw people to him. I'm sure we'll find some bit of happiness along the way, but that is not the primary objective. The second reason is because most of the time simply perusing your own desires does not make you successful in anything but especially in finances. Most part people focus on the immediate in terms of what makes them happy. The focus needs to be on long term goals and WORKING HARD to achieve them. It helps to find a vocation that we enjoy, but the truth is that we're still going to have to work if we want to ACCOMPLISH anything. I totally disagree with that quote.

However, I still love that quote. I checked out her book, and was a little disappointed. However, I still love that quote.
