If you're planning to relocate to a new city, here are a few findings you might appreciate.

Are you happy where you live? America is the land of opportunity but whether we succeed or fail to achieve happiness in a particular city or state can depend on more than a job or circle of friends. 

Achieving success and happiness in a place often depends on whether we understand the politics of the majority population and especially, the religious preferences of that majority. Knowing how people view their religious preferences will determine how to interact with them, and interacting with members of a community is a requirement if we plan to live there for very long.  

No matter which state you choose to live in, whether relocating or staying put, it usually requires some type of mental adjustment or compromise. The question is, are you prepared to compromise, especially where religious practices are concerned?
