Simple ideas like the below mentioned, are why I have grown more faithful over the past few years:
"Mother Teresa would counsel her sisters, “Just go and offer God’s love to someone else. Smile at someone. Show them the joy that God has given you in your life. Don’t let anyone ever come to you without leaving better and happier.”
Learning to be happier and more joyful made sense for me. It made my life better. It turns out, that by practicing my approach to life, which is to treat people with respect and bring them joy, I was inadvertently already being a better Christian.
Whether or not religion is your thing, is your business. But what I know for sure is that sharing your joy makes sense all the time. Try it.
