HAPPINESS BASED ON EDIFYING RELATIONSHIPS

Selfness is antithetical to good interactions.

It only takes one person to make a successful relationship.

Keeping score and accounting will never add up to oneness.

Relationships based on those fleeting things which please the physical-temporal-mortal senses are never eternal.

Happiness which is dependent on nurturing from others will be uncontrollable and inconsistent.
Our degree of happiness is dependent on the level of the principles we live by.

The level of happiness we enjoy is an indicator of our progress on the path of righteousness.

Relationships based on edifying principles of Celestial attributes raises ones level of happiness.

Edifying relationships with others based on principles of righteousness may be the most important task we have in mortality.

Every time a person comes closer to developing one more relationship based on edifying principles of righteousness the world moves one step closer to becoming a Zion Society.

INFORMATION ACCUMULATES INTO KNOWLEDGE

KNOWLEDGE MUST BE CONVERTED TO UNDERSTANDING

UNDERSTANDING MUST BE PUT INTO ACTION

ACTIONS MUST BE REPEATED TO BECOME HABITS

HABITS CHANGE CHARACTER

RIGHTEOUS CHARACTER CHANGE IS A PRELUDE TO OUR ETERNAL NATURES

  5. I ask you: How long did it take you to think these "THOUGHTS", then write them down in an order that makes perfect sense??? I appreciate "THINKERS" who share their "THOUGHTS" that contribute to my life in such a meaningful way. I especially appreciate your concluding statement: "Every time a person comes closer to developing one more relationship based on edifying principles of righteousness the world moves one step closer to becoming a Zion society". Now you have given me something worthwhile to dwell upon this day, and I thank you!

    Love,

  6. AMEN to this! This has been a loooong lesson for me to try to assimilate, because I am a 'people pleaser' when it comes to family....but even with family we must follow the example of our Savior, "We love Him, because He first loved us" and ignore the emotional roller coaster that often comes in the midst of family drama...maybe you have never experienced this... ?
    Thanks for your cont. words of inspiration and tremendous insight!
    We arrived in Germany abt 3 days ago, and I can see that our pace in life will not be slowing down anytime soon. How are things going with you and your family members?

    Love & Gratitude,
