I read a short article by Elder Scott about finding joy. He had a valid point: Sorrow, dissapointment and challenges are events in life, not life itself.
It takes strength to separate yourself from a problem. I've realized once I do that, I become stronger, and can find ways to carry on through the challenge, and find ways to make myself better because of it.
We have so many beautiful things about life all around us, every day. I need to literally stop and smell the roses more often to remember what great gifts Heavenly Father has created for me, and how above all, I'm one of his greatest creations. Knowing that also helps me through hard times.
Joy comes from trusting in Heavenly Father, even when things aren't going according to "my" plan. There's always joy to be found.
