I just read an article outlining seven habits of chronically unhappy people. I thought I might find myself all over them. Instead there was only one that looked as if it described me, and when I read its details, it turned out not to pertain to me either.
Today I have been letting the Holy Spirit remind me that I can trust God to provide a greater joy for me than I could ever know by not trusting (and therefore following) God's revealed plan for my life, and I am trying to approach that without impatience. I am reminding myself that it's true for my life, too, that manure is not a delicious hamburger, and that I am instead called to a great feast.
I am also being reminded that if it were easy, it wouldn't be called dying to oneself. (Sorry, the live versions I found were all from the same show and weren't in tune.)
