Is it possible that we play a part in how happy we feel from day to day? Choosing happiness makes it possible that we might have joy in our lives.
Optimism and Joy in the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Optimism is made up of remembering that righteousness doesn’t mean perfection, continuing to try, focusing on God, and looking for the joy.
Treasure the Day
Rather than wishing the days by, waiting for some future moment of happiness, we can choose to treasure today - every day.
Terror, Triumph, and a Wedding Feast
When we are tempted to be overcome by the terror of the last days, may we remember the faith of past prophets—and of God—in us.
A Joyful Heart
God wants you to find and keep joy in this world and in the world to come. You have been specially endowed with a celestial nature that is to grow into a fullness of joy.
“Serve the Lord with Gladness” (Psalm 100:2)

The gospel of Christ is one of joy, happiness, and optimism. Let us cultivate a merry heart, a cheerful countenance, and a sense of humor.

The joys of mission, of the senses, and of contemplation and anticipation help us to find happiness throughout mortality.

Fear Not, Little Flock
Financial worries, academic stress, and other struggles are inevitable for college students—we need not fear, because Christ is our Shepherd.
Crying with the Saints
Although the world's path may seem easier, the sanctifying and refining tears that come from a life of discipleship "give way to eternal tears of joy."
Enjoy It
Not all experiences in life will be easy or fun, but we can find joy regardless of our circumstances. Even when faced with a frustrating or discouraging challenge, we can choose to enjoy it and make the most of what we have been given.
