Something interesting that one of my friends shared with me the other day was this thought:
We are Latter-day Saints! We are in the plan of happiness right now. We should be constantly seeking to make each and everyday great days filled with joy and happiness. Everyday should be a great day.
Honestly, this had never occurred to me before, but it makes complete sense. It says in 2 Nephi 2:25 that men are here to have joy. If we aren't doing the things that bring joy into our lives, we should change that! Find the things that make you happy and do more of it. Find the things that make you unhappy and do less of it. Something that makes me happy is playing my music. I love being able to connect with people on a level that I wouldn't be able to with words, because let's face it, I am terrible with words!
I understand that there are things in our lives that we can't change. As much as we wish and try to change them, we can't. Something we have to learn is how to live with the facts that we can't change. This is something that is really hard for me. I hate not being able to have control over my life. It's frustrating and I am not a fan of it. I can say that I have shed too many tears over things I can't change. But we grow and hopefully, eventually can learn to live with it.
I'm so grateful for my crazy stressful life. I know that even when it's hard, Heavenly Father is always there for me and that makes all the difference. Stay strong and remember who you are and what you stand for. If you forget, call me;)
