Hi, everyone! It's Paisley Imperfect back with some reflections on a topic that's been on my mind. Lately, we've been diving deep into President Nelson's talk, "A Plea to My Sisters," and exploring how we can become the best version of ourselves through his guidance. One part that particularly stands out to me is his emphasis on happiness. President Kimball mentioned that we will draw people to the church because we will be distinct and different in happy ways.
Happiness is a recurring theme that resonates with me, and it's something I've been striving to understand better. Sister Eubank's talk, "Turn on Your Light," offers a powerful insight into true happiness. She emphasizes that being happy isn't about wearing a plastic smile but about keeping God's laws and lifting others. This brings blessings that trials cannot take away.
From these teachings, I've gathered two key points about happiness. First, real happiness stems from our relationship with God. It's an internal feeling, not just an outward display. Second, happiness manifests when we do good for others and see the positive impact of our actions. Reflect on a time when you've helped someone; how did it make you feel?
I've faced some personal trials lately, including a significant career change after 14 years with a company I deeply love. This transition has been tough, but it has also provided me with a new perspective on happiness. Despite the challenges, moments with my family, late-night talks with friends, and witnessing my children's growth have brought me genuine happiness. These experiences remind me that happiness isn't about avoiding trials but finding joy amidst them.
Sister Eubank beautifully stated, "There is an energy that comes from happiness and optimism that doesn't just bless us. It builds everyone around us." My goal is to cultivate happiness and share it with others, creating an environment where everyone can feel God's love and joy.
To wrap up, remember Sister Eubank's words: "Put yourself in a place where you can feel the generous love God has for you." His love and blessings are always within reach, and through keeping His commandments, we can be part of His work and glory, bringing others closer to their Savior.
