Finding the Good...

I came from a low point. Through a series of events that are still going on, I’ve managed to uncover things that I love to keep me going. I’m a 16-year-old writer, journalist, and secret-keeper. I have a testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its full truth. I love Jane Austen, classical music, and comedy. I have a goal to search for things that help me grow, and right now, I’m on a journey to find the good in my life, all for the purpose of being irrevocably happy.

Today I am happy…

Today is a good day to be happy. In Alma (in the Book of Mormon), I found something interesting and lovely…

Alma 41:5 The one raised to ^ahappiness according to his desires of happiness, or good according to his desires of good; and the other to evil according to his desires of evil; for as he has desired to do evil all the day long even so shall he have his reward of evil when the night cometh.

Today, I am going to LOOK for happiness. I am going to prove my desires of happiness. The challenge of today:

Listen to music that promotes my happiness. Songs that are clean in language and refrain from explicit content…I’m going to listen to songs that I’d feel comfortable listening to in the presence of Jesus Christ. Soft, pretty songs… that doesn’t specifically mean hymns and classical music, but it means songs that I enjoy and make me feel uplifted and put a smile on my face. I challenge anyone else to do the same.
