Closer to Christ

People will disappoint you. People will talk behind you're back. People will be annoyed with you. That's part of life and there is nothing you can do about that. You can be so happy and content with life and for some reason all those things still happen to us. Lately I have been thinking about that a lot, and I have come up with an idea. I think that if you have the Lord as the focus of you're life, those things won't bother you. I am happier with my life right now than I have been in awhile and it's because I have done all I can to have my focus on bettering my relationship with Christ and God. And when you do that, the little petty things in life don't bother you! I am such a big quote person, and I saw a few quotes that I thought were right on the spot:

So life is good:) Christ is the ultimate example of this kind of a situation. He had so many people who ridiculed him, and yet, he stayed positive. He knew what his purpose in life was, and wasn't willing to let any criticism or any body stray from doing what he knew was right. Also knowing that because of the Atonement, Christ has felt everything we have gone through and every challenge anyone has ever had, It is comforting knowing he understands. And if he was able to go through and feel everything that we have all felt, I know that I can do anything. He will take you by the hand and help you through ANYTHING. Joy comes from knowing Christ cares about you. Joy comes from knowing why I am here, and where I am going. Joy comes from living the standards that I have. Joy comes from living what my Church teaches, and I am SOOOOOO glad that I have it in my life.
