Come What May, and Love It

"The way we react to adversity can be a major factor in how happy and successful we can be in life."Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

1) Learn to Laugh
"The next time you’re tempted to groan, you might try to laugh instead. It will extend your life and make the lives of all those around you more enjoyable."

2) Seek for the Eternal
“And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes.”...Sometimes the very moments that seem to overcome us with suffering are those that will ultimately suffer us to overcome."

3) The Principle of Compensation
The third thing we can do is understand the principle of compensation. The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude.

4)Trust in the Father and the Son
“God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.” The Lord Jesus Christ is our partner, helper, and advocate. He wants us to be happy. He wants us to be successful. If we do our part, He will step in.
