1) Every Answer You Will Ever Need For a Joy Filled & Significant Life is in the Bible
Hebrews 4:12
”For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

2) When You Put God First In Your Life, everything else will be added to it 
Matthew 6:33 “But seek first His kingdom and his righteousness, and these things will be given to you as well.”

3) Your true identity and purpose is found when you surrender to God’s will for your life
Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

4) Jesus Christ is in fact the PERFECT role model
John 14:6 
”Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If you really knew me, you would know my father as well.”

5) If you want real and lasting transformation, you must lose your life to find it
2 Corinthians 5:17 17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

6) Pray, It Works
Matthew 7:7, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

7) To have a life free from worry – Trust in the Lord
Matthew 11:28-29 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.”

8) All Things (including tragedy) Work For Good, When You Love God
Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work for good for those that love God and are called according to His purposes.”

9) The best way to free and happy life is through forgiveness
Luke 6: 37"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

10) God is not interested in your circumstances, He is interested in the condition of your soul
Luke 9:25 “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?”
