The Science of Happiness

The science of happiness
Is found in the left frontal lobe.
Meditate how and witness,
Through prayer, you need not feel alone

Build up a social circle,
Forget yourself and be giving,
Laugh, smile, tackle hurtles,
And get out- serving and living

Attend church and be renewed

Be uplifted despite life's burdens

Be a friend, give a hand, smile

Find the faith to cross life's hurdles

I love this quote: "There is great purpose in our struggle in life”(That All May Be Edified [1982], 94). Boyd K. Packer

How will we find that purpose? meditation, getting out,

Meditation-  church is a time to be renewed, start fresh, receive inspiration, and be uplifted despite the burdens of life.  If you go to church overwhelmed- may someone notice and share a smile, a hand, and be your friend.
