Sunshine Versus Rain

One thing for sure, we will never be able to avoid having some difficult times in our lives. I can assure you that painful moments will arise out of nowhere. Not a day goes by that I have not either read something on social media, peered at a news story, or had a friendly conversation with someone that offered some sort of miserable information. 

The sun will shine beautifully many days. Nevertheless, eventually, a rainstorm will blow through. Naturally, seasons change. Just like in our daily lives, changes transpire. However, we can decide how we grasp and react to the changes.

I wish I had the magic formula for gleeful days every day. Well, I’ll tell you, I do not. Nonetheless, I can share with you that we can live our best lives through rain and sunshine. It truly is a conscious decision to live our best lives despite what seems gloomy in the present. Russel M. Nelson has a quote, “The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.” Living your best life depends on how you perceive what happens around you.
