I love the concept that happiness is the design of our existence. The fact that we are designed to be happy, explains why all the stressing we do, and the anxiety about whether we're going to be married and when,makes us so unhappy. Its a choice we make. to stress or not to stress, that is the question.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02025889206463120364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586889322001976439.post-10028901460874651582008-10-23T16:58:00.000-06:002008-10-23T16:58:00.000-06:00Thanks Bridge!

My Relief Society lesson last week was about his tribulations and one of the points we discussed was how what he suffered wasn't fair but it is a blessing for us to have an example of someone who can endure extreme suffering, compared to Jesus who DID endure great suffering, AND he did it to save us, but he was a God - so where Joseph, a mortal suffered so much for us and our salvation too, it just makes me realize how very selfish and lame any whining I might do is.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105747358681885541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586889322001976439.post-57746636264631323702008-10-23T16:29:00.000-06:002008-10-23T16:29:00.000-06:00I agree.

It's far more important to focus on being happy now than on how to get married or whether I'm dating or not. <BR/><BR/>Joseph Smith said that happiness is the design of our existence- and he had more difficult circumstances to find happiness through than any of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586889322001976439.post-13661656369049540142008-10-23T09:38:00.000-06:002008-10-23T09:38:00.000-06:00this was really good to hear. it seems a perfect ...this was really good to hear. it seems a perfect suggestion for all of us. as i read the anonymous comment on the last post my heart hurt for her. i wonder if as singles we put too much focus on "getting married" and fail to live and succeed in the moment. like pres. monson says: "learn from the past, look to the future (or was it plan), and live in the present." that's advice i'm always trying to follow! always in the sense that it takes constant effort.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586889322001976439.post-72003236616506765162008-10-23T09:11:00.000-06:002008-10-23T09:11:00.000-06:00Ah- I really needed this post.
