"Find Yourself"

I was just now listening to one of my favorite country songs from the Pixar's film, "Cars", and I had a feeling I needed to share the lyrics and why they are so special to me. 

There is a verse that talks about finding the one who changes your whole life...someone you fall in love with. My wife is that someone. She truly knows how to make me happy, and she fulfills my life. She has helped me become better every day since we got married, and I know she will continue to do so because she loves me.

I have a word of advice for all of you reading this. When you are feeling down and lost like this song talks about, turn to your friends, your wife, your family, and your spiritual beliefs. Not only do I personally turn to my wife when I am struggling, I also turn to my family, friends, God, and Jesus Christ...my Savior. I know that Christ, because He suffered the Atonement, knows what struggles we are going through and knows how to help us rise from those struggles. When I do turn to all of those people I mentioned, I find myself. I am able to rise up from my struggles and to find more peace and happiness than I did before.

In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

                                              "Find Yourself" by Brad Paisley

When you find yourself
In some far off place
And it causes you
To rethink some things

You start to sense
That slowly you're becoming someone else
And then you find yourself
When you make new friends
In a brand new town
And you start to think
About settlin' down

The things that would have been lost on you
Are now clear as a bell
And you find yourself
That's when you find yourself

When you go through life
So sure of where you're headin'
And you wind up lost
And it's the best thing that could have happened
'Cause sometimes when you lose your way
It's really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah, that's when you find yourself

When you meet the one
That you've been waitin' for
And she's everything
That you wanted and more
And you look at her and you finally start
To live for someone else
And then you find yourself
That's when you find yourself

We go through life
So sure of where we're headin'
And then we wind up lost
And it's the best thing that could have happened
'Cause sometimes when you lose your way
It's really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah, that's when you find yourself
