The Only Way to Be Happy is to Live the Gospel

I am still reading that book by Shari Dew God Wants a Powerful People. I have another quote to share from the book:
"In contrast to sin, which is ugly and costly, obedience is brilliant and its fruits are endless. One of those fruits is happiness. The only way to be happy is to live the gospel.
It is not possible to sin enough to be happy. It isn't possible to buy enough to be happy, or to entertain or indulge or pamper ourselves enough to be happy. It is not possible to hide enough or run far enough away from trials and troubles to be happy. Happiness and joy come only when we are living up to who we are. King Benjamin understood this and taught it clearly when he admonished us to 'consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For ... they are blessed in all things, ... and if they hold out faithful to the end ... they may dwell with God in a state of never ending happiness' (Mosiah 2:41).
Satan likely bristles at this principle, for happiness is something that the ultimate narcissist will never experience. I have never met anyone who was happier because he was immoral, or because he was addicted to something, or because he was dishonest and compromised his integrity. The Lord has blessed us with covenants that keep us on the straight and narrow path because this 'road less traveled' is actually the easier road. It is so much easier to be righteous than to sin, so much easier to deal with a clear conscience than one ravaged by guilt, so much easier to feel peace of mind and heart when we are living up to who we are rather than coping with the emotional and spiritual ravages of regret, knowing we have lived beneath our divine nature."

I am just really enjoying this book. When I feel uplifted I just can't help but share it. All the time that I was growing up and learning the gospel I felt like there were all these things that I couldn't do. Now that I understand the gospel all of those things that I can't do don't matter and through the course of my life I have learned that great sorrow and pain come from those things anyway. Since I have been trying to live the gospel and be true to who I am, I have felt peace and happiness.
