Happy Easter!



I love this song! It depicts the true meaning of Easter for me. I'm so grateful for the Atonement of Christ that works miracles in my life everyday. Happy Easter!

How are you always so happy?

The inspiration for the title of this blog comes from a talk given by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, an apostle of the Lord. For full talk, click here.



This idea of "come what may and love it" was the theme for my mission in New Jersey and it basically saved me countless times. It still runs through my head constantly as I'm faced with incredible life decisions and challenging tasks. Here is what I learned:
  1. True joy/happiness comes from living your life in harmony with the commandments and teachings of Jesus Christ.
  2. There is no point in stressing over things you have no control over.
  3. Regrets do not have to be a part of life if you learn from your mistakes and be better in the future.
  4. Laughter is the best medicine.
We know we're not perfect...(shocker! haha)...there are many times when we don't feel too happy or we don't feel like loving things but then we need to remind ourselves of what Elder Wirthlin said and things start to get better. As long as you're living your life the best you can, there is no reason the Lord can't bless you.
