"And it happened that we lived happily. "2 Nephi 5:27

Every person in the world wants to be happy. We want our loved ones to be happy, and we would do whatever it takes so that they can achieve this joy in their life.

We buy gifts, work for promotions, and post on social media in hopes that the results will bring us a feeling of happiness or joy. But, all who seek happiness in this way find them, at the end of the day, without the feelings they desire.

I was studying scripture the other day when I read this verse, and I realized something so important about happiness. True happiness, or lasting happiness, does not come from any possessions, or promotions, or the actions of other people.

Happiness all of us seek is a way of living.

If we have to live in a way of happiness, what do we have to do?

Something I have learned from being a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ is that the answers are always so simple!. The Lord taught us through a prophet is that we should “consider[] the blessed and happy state of those who keep the commandments of God. For they are blessed in all things, both temporary and spiritual

Truly, by being obedient to the commandments of God, we will be happier! We will find a joy exceedingly great that we have never felt before. I've felt this joy, and I want all of you to experience this same feeling!

How have you found happiness in your life?
