How Can I Find Greater Happiness
How can I find greater happiness?

Many people define happiness as possessing things that of themselves cannot bring lasting happiness—such as wealth, power, beauty, and fame.

But from an eternal perspective, true happiness comes from developing attributes such as goodness, love, justice, and mercy. It comes from serving God and others, and from preparing to live with our Father in Heaven again.Heavenly Father knows that many things contribute to your happiness—such as work, a healthy lifestyle, friends, family, and personal achievement. But your deepest, most lasting happiness will come from knowing God’s plan and following it.
