Happiness

"Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God." - Joseph Smith

I'm glad that the importance of happiness is one of our core beliefs. I'm grateful to know that we're allowed and even encouraged to be happy. A lot of religions are willing to sacrifice mortal happiness for the promise of future happiness, but I'm glad that we don't have to choose. We can have happiness in this life and the next, and I really appreciate that.

The path to happiness isn't always easy, but I'm glad that this happiness is available to those who are willing to seek it.
