Hey Y'all,
Have you ever heard the advice that states, "Always smile. You never know who's falling in love with your smile"? Optimism is a very attractive thing. Annie had it right when she sang "You're never fully dressed without a smile." It doesn't mean you have to be happy-go-lucky all day every day. It just means you take what life gives you and throw a positive spin on it. Good advice, Annie. :)
Some may say, "Dale, you just don't understand. I just can't do this" or possibly, "I'm hurt more than I've ever been before. It's so hard to get past this." Well, I'm here to say that's what the Gospel is for. As a disclaimer, I will never say anything in life is easy. We all face extremely difficult things. However, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the way we can move forward, no matter what. The bottom line of this Gospel? "Keep your head up. Keep smiling. It'll get better. You will be better."
I'll share a little experience with you. Well, a lot of experience, actually. That experience proves that I'm not perfect. My family isn't perfect. My relationships with them aren't perfect. My roommates aren't perfect. My relationships with them aren't perfect. My friends aren't perfect. Our friendships aren't perfect. I'm stubborn. I'm obnoxious at times. I'm a little lazy.
I'll share a little more experience. I'm better than I was a year ago. My family is better than it was a year ago. My roommates are better than a month ago when I first met them. My friends are better than they were 3 months ago. I'm less stubborn. I'm a little less obnoxious. I'm a lot less lazy. Point? It gets better. Everything gets better. I can't fully explain everything. I don't know how some things work and some other things I don't think I will ever understand. But I will do my best to find out everything I can and try to make as many things better as possible. I will mess up. I promise you. However, I will be there. Waiting or working, I will always be there to try.
With a smile on my face. :)
