In the world today it's so easy to get caught up in ourselves. Easy to think of all the terrible things going on in our lives, in the world. Easy to get caught up in the despair and sadness of life. Easy to get caught up in our trials and burdens. Sometimes..too easy.
So how can you take this call to happiness that Christ has declared, and truly find the happiness in your life?
First off; recognize the reality of this statement, Christ overcome the world. He came into the world with one purpose: to bring to pass the atonement: his suffering in the garden of Gethsemane, his suffering and death on the cross, and his ressurection. He overcame sin through his suffering and overcame death through the ressurection. Satan truly has no power over us unless we let him.
Second, don't think that you can avoid trials, that you can avoid those tough times. Trust me, they're inevitable. And don't think that you can do this all by yourself. Remember Christ already suffered all this, why? so that he can help you, he can help you get through them. Pray for his help, seek his guidance and follow the promptings that you feel.
"Come unto me all ye that labour and are heaven laden, and I will give you rest..learn of me..and [ye shall] find rest unto your souls..For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
And really, be patient, your trials won't disapear completely immediately, but they can be made lighter, because of Jesus Christ.
"Be patient in afflictions, for thou shalt have many; but endure them, for, lo, I am with thee, even unto the end of thy days." D&C 24:8
Finally, just accept it in your life that you are going to be happy, Choose Happiness. At first it might not seem as easy, but just relax, take a deep breath Be Happy and remember to rely on your Savior Jesus Christ.
"Wherefore, be of good cheer and do not fear for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you.." D&C 68:6
