Choosing a Joyful Perspective on Life

Let's take it to the basics.
CHOOSING- a personal choice. The suffix "-ing" implies it is a daily decision.
JOYFUL- 2 Nephi 2:25 "Adam fell that man might be; and men are that they might have JOY."
PERSPECTIVE- What I focus on. 2 Nephi 2:24 "But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of Him who knoweth all things."
LIFE- Our journey to discover who we are and who we can be. 


In life there are 2 perspectives, our human perspective and the eternal perspective. Often we  are faced with situations that we cannot make sense of through our natural human perspective. It is during these times we can choose to focus on the eternal perspective, knowing that, "all things have been done in the wisdom of Him who knoweth all things." 


No matter what happens in life, we can choose to focus on the eternal perspective.


The more I experience life, the more I realize that what I gain from my life and how I feel about life is all based upon what I choose to focus on. As I choose to focus on the eternal perspective, I am finding JOY in my journey through life.
