Happiest by Susan Chadaz

Send us Fan Mail Happy is something you build, think, create, and make. Happy is something you can shape into your life, formulate through the course of your life, and something you can foster for the rest of your life. It's up to you to let the happy shine through.

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever had a problem that needed solving? Here’s the bottom line. When all the parts are added up, when all that is unimportant is subtracted out, when all is multiplied into one great whole, you don’t have to do this alone. When you walk with Christ, He will walk with you every step of the way.

Send us Fan Mail President Nelson taught that one of the most important reasons for this earthly experience is to determine what you will do with life’s challenging opportunities. When you live your life with trust in God and His divine plan for you, then through a lifetime of joys, challenges, tests, failures, tears, successes, and trials, you will be able to align all your days with God’s heaven...

Send us Fan Mail The whole of life includes the physical world we see, as well as the unseen world we don’t see. Those who limit their vision of the world to what is within their sight right now will limit their experiences in the world and miss the maximum value of their life… all because of what they cannot see yet.

Send us Fan Mail In this school we call life, there is a planned curriculum to help us learn, grow, and become more. There will be lessons of waiting, patience, and enduring. Learning how to wait well is a necessary feature of this life. President Oaks taught in last week’s BYU Devotional, “We are all a work in progress. ….Hold on to the first article of faith, even if something else is uncertain....

Send us Fan Mail Today, as we begin another new year, I thought we would do a ‘encore’ episode called Looking Up  that anytime during this new year, if you ever feel burdened with a load of care, you can look up. If you ever get discouraged thinking all is lost, you’ll know how to look up. And if ever life’s billows have got you tempest tossed, you'll be able to look up. Learning to look up t...

Send us Fan Mail What can we do to create the sustainable change that transformed Ebenezer from a past that was feared, a present that was unwanted, and a future that looked bleak? Along with Ebenezer, we too can come to know the Spirit of living, loving, and giving by building greater satisfaction and gratitude for the past, holding onto more joy and peace in the present, and trusting with faith...

Send us Fan Mail What the world needs now is a CREW of Heavenly Father’s children who are trained, ready, and willing to lift someone who needs a friend, raise up someone who is feeling down, and connect with someone who feels they have no one to connect with.  You will need to become a 'Watchkeeper of Seafarers.'

Send us Fan Mail In this school called life, each of us will face obstacles, problems, complications, and be tested. How we see these obstacles-the very way we perceive these tests, either as barriers that will stop us or as challenging opportunities that will help us learn and grow-can make all the difference in our lives. Yes, in this life, there will be tests. 

Send us Fan Mail The work of growth and change is an inherent and unavoidable part of this journey we are all on called life. Change is always happening. Change is all around us. Change is an integral part of each of our days. Since change is a necessary part of life, how we handle change will be the key to finding the happy in our lives. 

Send us Fan Mail Elder Richard G. Scott said, “This life is an experience in profound trust—trust in Jesus Christ, trust in His teachings, trust in our capacity as led by the Holy Spirit to obey those teachings for happiness now and for a purposeful, supremely happy eternal existence." Sometimes the best way to learn to trust God is simply to remember to trust Him. 

Send us Fan Mail What do you do to keep going when life gets hard? What do you do to push yourself forward when forward seems far away? The path of the pioneer is seldom smooth. They learn through the twists, the turns, and the uneven ground how to bounce back from setbacks, how to turn failures into victories, and how to push adversity into privilege. A pioneer is someone who navigates the comple...

Send us Fan Mail Brother Steven L. Lund once said, “Does earth life only get one Captain Moroni? That’s not what I hear…. President Russell M. Nelson taught, “Our Heavenly Father has reserved many of His most noble spirits—perhaps … His finest team —for this final phase.” You are on His team! 

Send us Fan Mail Where does your source of courage come from? What can you do to bravely live your life being brave? Faith requires brave believing, and brave believing will give you the bravery you need to continue forward along this journey we call life. 

Send us Fan Mail The birth of Jesus in Bethlehem is the preface to His story. His ministry is the prologue, His sacrifice and atonement are the substance of the story, and His resurrection is the epilogue. Elder Gary E. Stevenson taught, “Take Christmas away, and in biblical terms, you lose two chapters at the front of Matthew and Luke, nothing else. Take Easter away, and you don’t have a New Test...

Send us Fan Mail You are not destined to fail. The plan is for you to ‘rise above’. Elder Kearen testified, “The intent of the Father’s great plan of happiness is your happiness , right here, right now, and in the eternities." In the middle of every battle…His greatest desire is to help you.  If only we would turn to Him. We can choose to bring the good He has in store for our lives into our...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt cold?  Have you ever felt discouraged, sad, or without warmth? Piece by piece, thread by thread, we are creating a quilt of faith and hope through the atonement of Jesus Christ that will give us warmth and comfort when the cold days come, 'knowing all the while that we are encircled "in the arms of [His] love."  

Send us Fan Mail What do you see when in this school we call life--predicaments, bumpy roads, and sharp turns in the form of calamity, mishap, and misfortune leave you at the bus stop with your suitcases packed full of insecurity, self-doubt, and uncertainty?   Through a different lens of hope, faith, and purpose, we each have a choice of what we choose to see in our world. 

Send us Fan Mail I've got good news for you—really, really good news—the kind of news that can change your life. This kind of news can save, strengthen, and rescue you. In fact, Christmas is the perfect time of year to talk about this good news because Christmas is when this good news was born. 

Send us Fan Mail Elder Richard G. Scott taught that “this life is an experience in profound trust—trust in Jesus Christ, trust in His teachings, trust in our capacity as led by the Holy Spirit to obey those teachings for happiness now and for a purposeful, supremely happy eternal existence." You have the capacity to see and create happiness and joy in your life now, just by believing and seei...

Send us Fan Mail In every life, there will be detours and delays. The trick will be to decide to find joy in the ride, learn from the ride, and become more because of the ride--even in the middle of every journey.

Send us Fan Mail Wherever you are in life, whatever 'mission' your life has sent you on, you're not alone. With the Lord's help, this is a mission possible. What do you really need to know for your life to be a mission full of possibilities? 

Send us Fan Mail You are one of the 'Battalion Leaders'. In October 2013, President Russell M. Nelson, declared: “Your Heavenly Father has known you for a very long time. You, as His son or daughter, were chosen by Him to come to earth at this precise time, to be a leader in His great work on earth.” You were built for this!

Send us Fan Mail Our Heavenly Father has an unlimited supply of power and love for you.  He is always there wanting to bless you. Jesus Christ is the mediator.  We pray to the Father through Jesus Christ.  When we obey and follow Christ’s example, that completes the circuit, and our lives are blessed as we walk in His light. 

Send us Fan Mail Do you know…YOU were born to be a hero?  Do you know you have defeated Satan before you came to this world? In Romans 13:12 we read, “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness and let us put on the armour of light.”  You are going to need the 'Armor of Light' to defeat him again.
