True Happiness

I sure do love these pink mirrored Ray Ban sunnies from glasses.com. They're going to be my spring/summer go to without a doubt. I think they add a fun retro vibe to this little black number from Shabby Apple. They add a little zaz (I kinda made that word up) to a simple look.

Now...Since it's Sunday and because when I look at these pictures I just truly see my happy side. Let's have a little Sunday inspiration on why I truly am happy. It's no secret, only something I hope I can share with you so you can feel the same joy I feel in my life.

"The Savior of the world taught us to seek that inner peace which taps the innate happiness in our souls. He said: 'My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.'" -James E. Faust

Living the gospel of Jesus Christ is where I can find that inner peace. Where I can resist the temptations of the world and try to be my best self. I'm not saying I'm perfect. But I sure am happy for the opportunity daily I get to try. And I'm grateful to know where my pure joy comes from. 

The prophet Joseph Smith told us, “Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God” 

I'd like to reiterate that if we pursue the path that leads to happiness--which path is through virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping the commandments--We can enjoy the fruits it will bring. Which is joy beyond measure. Life won't be perfect. But we will attain a peace like no other.
