Corresponding Talk Outline: “Do You Want to Be Happy?” and “Hallmarks of Happiness“

Announcement: “The First Presidency’s 2024 Easter Message“, February 20, 2024 (40 days before Easter Sunday): “This Easter season, we invite you to ponder the Savior’s atoning sacrifice and glorious Resurrection, which bless all of us.” Here is what I wrote in my journal about this invitation: “I’m intrigued, because Easter is not until Sunday, March 31st. I get the sense that just as Black Friday seems to kick off the Christmas season a month before Christmas, we have an opportunity to begin preparing for Easter a month in advance. See Elder Gary E. Stevenson’s April 2023 General Conference address (“The Greatest Easter Story Ever Told“) for ideas to prepare for Easter.”

REMEMBER THIS

If you remember nothing else from this podcast episode, remember this:

• Elder Choi has invited us to stay on the covenant path, and Elder Sabin has invited us to become more like God through covenants.

Introduction

Doctrines, Principles, and Christlike Attributes

As we have discussed in previous episodes of General Conference Applied, it is important to identify the fundamental doctrine, principle, and Christlike attribute of each General Conference address. In “Do You Want to Be Happy?” I identified Covenants as the fundamental doctrine, The Lord’s Covenant People as the fundamental principle, and Obedience as the fundamental Christlike attribute. In “Hallmarks of Happiness” I identified Atonement of Jesus Christ as the fundamental doctrine, Our Heavenly Family as the fundamental principle, and Hope as the fundamental Christlike attribute. I have included a detailed breakdown of this doctrine, principle, and Christlike attribute in the talk outlines (“Do You Want to Be Happy?” and “Hallmarks of Happiness“), but I will share additional insights during this podcast episode.

In each episode of General Conference Applied, we are attempting to answer two questions:

1. What is the speaker inviting me to do?
2. How might I consider taking action?

Overview

Bio

Elder Yoon Hwan Choi

“Elder Yoon Hwan Choi was sustained as a General Authority Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on April 4, 2009. At the time of his call, he had been serving as a member of the Eighth Quorum of the Seventy in the Asia North Area. From 2009 to 2011 he served as a member of the Asia North Area Presidency. From 2011 to 2013 he served as an Assistant Executive Director in the Temple Department and a member of the Boundary and Leadership Change Committee. He served as president of the Washington Seattle Mission (2013–2015) and President of the Asia North Area. He currently serves as First Counselor in the Philippines Area.

“Since joining the Church in 1973, Elder Choi has served in a number of Church callings, including full-time missionary in the Korea Busan and Korea Seoul Missions, counselor in a bishopric, bishop, high councilor, stake mission president, counselor in a mission presidency, counselor in a stake presidency, stake president, and Area Seventy.

“Elder Choi received a bachelor’s degree in business information management from Brigham Young University–Hawaii in 1988. In 1989, he received a master’s degree in business information systems and education from Utah State University. He has been an instructor at Brigham Young University–Hawaii and Utah State University; manager of sales, administration, marketing, and customer support at Data General Korea; director of CDC and MBS Venture Capital Company; and the regional manager for temporal affairs for the Church in Korea.

Faithfully Serve

“When I was called to be a bishop, it was during the most difficult time of my life. I was a young father in my early 30s, but I was in trouble financially because of family challenges. I couldn’t find any solution, and I thought the challenges would never end. I was exhausted financially and emotionally. I started doubting my spiritual strength as well. It was at that difficult time that my stake president extended the calling to me. I accepted the call anyway, although it was hard.

“My wife also had an interview with the stake president, but she could not say yes, and she did not say no either but kept shedding tears. She cried for the whole week, asking Heavenly Father, ‘Why now?’ and ‘Do You really know each individual?’ She didn’t get an answer, but I was sustained as bishop on the following Sunday. She did not ask Heavenly Father those questions anymore but supported me in my calling for six years.

“On the Sunday when I was released, my wife heard a voice while she was receiving the sacrament. The voice whispered to her, ‘Because it was too hard for you to walk, I called him as a bishop in order to hold you and walk for you.’ Looking back at the past six years, she realized that all of the many challenges that seemed to be endless had now been resolved along the way.

“We learned that when we think it is not a good time for us to receive a calling, it may be the time we need that calling the most. Whenever the Lord asks us to serve in any calling, whether it is a lighter or heavier calling, He sees our needs. He provides the strength we need and has blessings ready to be poured out upon us as we faithfully serve.”

• “Love Is Spoken Here“, Elder Gerrit W. Gong, October 2023 General Conference: “When Sister Gong and I were married, Elder David B. Haight counseled: ‘Always hold a calling in the Church. Especially when life is busy,’ he said, ‘you need to feel the Lord’s love for those you serve and for you as you serve.’ I promise that love is spoken here, there, and everywhere as we answer yes to Church leaders to serve the Lord in His Church by His Spirit and our covenants.”
• “Elder Choi reached goals, but not in anticipated ways“, Church News, April 25, 2009: “[Elder Choi] accepted a call to the Korea Busan Mission, served a year and was honorably released upon being drafted into the South Korean army. He served three years in special service as part of the national president’s protective team…
  
  “As he was doing his military service, Elder Choi asked his longtime friend to marry him.
  
  “‘I didn’t say ‘no,’ but I didn’t say ‘yes,’ either,’ she said. However, she did have feelings about his missionary service.
  
  “Elder Choi said, ‘She was the main influence for me to go on a mission again.’ He said everyone else told him he had already served an honorable mission and should go on with his life. ‘She was the only one encouraging me to finish my mission.’
  
  “Sister Choi responded, ‘That’s because I knew him. He would finish two years. It was his will, and I recognized his will.’
  
  “She said he was on her mind all the time he served that second year in the Korea Seoul Mission. ‘I knew he would come back to me with another proposal,’ she said. And the answer was ‘Yes.’
  
  “They were married Sept. 25, 1982, before there was a temple in Korea, and were sealed in the Laie Hawaii Temple on Sept. 24, 1983.”

Elder Gary B. Sabin

“Elder Gary B. Sabin was sustained as a General Authority Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on April 2, 2016. He has served as a counselor and president of the Europe Area (2016–2021) and as Assistant Executive Director of the Temple Department. He is currently serving as the priesthood advisor to the Welfare and Self-Reliance Committee, as a member of the Boundary and Leadership Committee, and as first counselor in the North America West area presidency.

“Elder Sabin has served in a variety of Church callings, including full-time missionary in the Netherlands/Belgium Mission, elders quorum president, bishop, stake president, and Area Seventy.

“Elder Sabin received associate and bachelor’s degrees from Brigham Young University and a master’s degree from Stanford University. Prior to his call, he was the Chairman/CEO of Excel Realty Trust and Excel Trust, two public companies focused on commercial real estate ownership in the United States and Canada. He was also the founder and chairman of Sabin Holdings with a focus on real estate ownership in the Asia Pacific region. He has served as a director on several public company and nonprofit boards and is the founder of The Sabin Children’s Foundation, which provides children’s health care in third-world countries.

“Gary Byron Sabin was born in Provo, Utah, on April 7, 1954. He married Valerie Purdy in August 1976. They are the parents of six children (two deceased).”

How might I consider taking action?

Invitations

1: “My dear brothers and sisters, do you want to be happy? Stay on the covenant path.” (“Do You Want to Be Happy?”)

• What This Means (in 6 words or less): Stay on the covenant path.
• “There are many other things that distract us from staying on the covenant path. No matter what it is, it is never too late to turn our hearts to Heavenly Father for help. Elder Paul V. Johnson taught us: ‘When we follow Satan, we give him power. When we follow God, He gives us power.’ (Paul V. Johnson, “Be Perfected in Him,” October 2022 General Conference)
  
  “King Benjamin in the Book of Mormon testifies: ‘I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness.'” (Mosiah 2:41)

Directives (“an official or authoritative instruction”) (“Do You Want to Be Happy?”)

1. “Isn’t it simple to be happy? Just make covenants and keep them in your lives.”
   • “President Russell M. Nelson said: ‘If you want to be miserable, break the commandments—and never repent. If you want joy, stay on the covenant path.'”
   • “In Orlando, President Nelson shares 7 truths that have the power to change lives“, Church News, June 9, 2019:
     • “Joy comes from keeping the commandments.
       
       “Satan is doing all within his power to make God’s children miserable, ‘So, don’t fall for his lies,’ President Nelson said. ‘Wickedness never brings happiness’ (Alma 41:10).
       
       “Breaking the commandments ‘always leads to heartache. Always! Far too often immorality is involved. Frequently there are violations of the Word of Wisdom that lead to addiction. Pornography rears its ugly, destructive head again and again.’
       
       “The Lord gives His children boundaries to protect them from influences that will destroy them, he said. ‘Blessings always come by obedience to the law upon which that blessing is predicated. … You can be sure that as you keep the commandments of God, you will reap the blessings that He has in store for you.'”
   • President Nelson has a way of simplifying complex ideas. For example, here is his description of the gathering of Israel: “Anytime we do anything that helps anyone—on either side of the veil—to make and keep their covenants with God, we are helping to gather Israel.” (“Let God Prevail“, October 2020 General Conference)
   • “The Screwtape Letters” by C. S. Lewis: “The Enemy loves platitudes. Of a proposed course of action He wants men, so far as I can see, to ask very simple questions; is it righteous? is it prudent? is it possible? Now if we can keep men asking ‘Is it in accordance with the general movement of our time? Is it progressive or reactionary? Is this the way that History is going?’ they will neglect the relevant questions.”
   • When we make and keep sacred covenants, we are staying on the covenant path.

1: “In reality, the greatest happiness and blessing of mortality will be found in who we have become through God’s grace as we make and keep sacred covenants with Him.” (“Hallmarks of Happiness”)

• What This Means (in 6 words or less): Become more like God through covenants.

Directives (“an official or authoritative instruction”) (“Hallmarks of Happiness”)

1. “My first observation is that building upon the foundation of Jesus Christ is essential to our happiness.”
   • “Preserving the Voice of the Covenant People in the Rising Generation“, October 2023 General Conference, Brother Jan E. Newman: “Recently, a good friend taught me something I hadn’t noticed before about the parable of the wise man who built his house upon a rock. According to the account in Luke, as the wise man laid the foundation for his house, he ‘digged deep.’ It wasn’t a casual or simple endeavor—it took effort!
     
     “To build our lives on the rock of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, we need to dig deep. We remove anything that is sandy or superfluous in our lives. We keep digging until we find Him. And we teach our children to bind themselves to Him through sacred ordinances and covenants so that when the oppositional storms and floods come, as they surely will, they will have little effect upon them ‘because of the rock upon which [they] are built.’
     
     “This kind of strength doesn’t just happen. It is not passed on to the next generation like a spiritual inheritance. Each person must dig deep to find the rock.”
   • “Don’t Look Around, Look Up!“, April 2017 General Conference, Elder Yoon Hwan Choi: “One day, a few months after my baptism, I heard some members criticizing each other in church. I was very disappointed. I went home and told my father that maybe I should not go to church anymore. It was difficult to see members criticize others like that. After listening, my father taught me that the gospel had been restored and it is perfect but members are not yet, neither himself nor me. He firmly said, ‘Do not lose your faith because of the people around you, but build a strong relationship with Jesus Christ. Don’t look around, look up!’
     
     “Look up to Jesus Christ—the wise advice of my father—strengthens my faith whenever I face challenges in life. He taught me how to apply the teachings of Christ, as in these words: ‘Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.’ …
     
     “It is never too late to look up to Jesus Christ. His arms are always open to you. There are generations before us and after us depending on us to follow Christ so that we can be an eternal family of God.”
   • “There is no way we can move with the crowd and also toward Jesus. The Savior has defeated death, disease, and sin and has provided a way for our ultimate perfection if we will follow Him with all of our hearts.”
   • “Stand Up Inside and Be All In“, Elder Gary B. Sabin, April 2017 General Conference: “When [my father] was in the navy during World War II, there were those in the great and spacious building who made fun of his principles, but two of his shipmates, Dale Maddox and Don Davidson, took note and did not. They asked, ‘Sabin, why are you so different from everyone else? You have high morals and don’t drink, smoke, or swear, but you seem calm and happy.’
     
     “Their positive impression of my father did not match what they had been taught about the Mormons, and my father was able to teach and baptize both shipmates. Dale’s parents were very upset and warned him that if he joined the Church he would lose his sweetheart, Mary Olive, but she met with the missionaries at his request and was also baptized.
     
     “Near the end of the war, President Heber J. Grant called for missionaries, including some married men. In 1946, Dale and his wife, Mary Olive, decided Dale should serve even though they were expecting their first child. They eventually had nine children—three boys and six girls. All nine served missions, followed by Dale and Mary Olive, who served three missions of their own. Dozens of grandchildren have also served. Two of their sons, John and Matthew Maddox, are currently members of the Tabernacle Choir, as is Matthew’s son-in-law Ryan. The Maddox family now numbers 144 and are wonderful examples of being ‘all in.’
     
     “In going through my dad’s papers, we came across a letter from Jennifer Richards, one of the five daughters of the other shipmate, Don Davidson. She wrote: ‘Your righteousness changed our lives. It is hard to comprehend what our lives would be like without the Church. My dad died loving the gospel and trying to live it to the end.’
     
     “It is hard to measure the impact for good each individual can have by standing up inside. My father and his two shipmates refused to listen to those in the great and spacious building who were pointing the finger of scorn. They knew that it is far better to follow the Creator than the crowd.”
   • When we build upon the foundation of Jesus Christ, we prioritize the sacred covenants we have made with God.
2. “My second observation is that it is crucial to our happiness that we remember that we are sons and daughters of a loving Heavenly Father. Knowing and trusting this reality changes everything.”
   • “Brothers and Sisters in Christ“, Elder Ulisses Soares, October 2023 General Conference: “I have deep compassion for those who have been mistreated, belittled, or persecuted by unfeeling and thoughtless people, because, in the course of my life, I have seen firsthand the pain good people suffer from being judged or dismissed because they happened to speak, look, or live differently. I also feel genuine sorrow in my heart for those whose minds remain darkened, whose vision is limited, and whose hearts remain hardened by the belief in the inferiority of those who are different from them. Their limited view of others actually obstructs their ability to see who they are as children of God.”
   • The more seriously we take our covenants with God, the better our relationship will be with Him. And the better our relationship is with Him, the more we will love our neighbor.
3. “The third hallmark for happiness is to always remember the worth of a soul. We do this best by following the Savior’s admonition: ‘Love one another; as I have loved you.'”
   • 4 Nephi 1:13, 15–18: “And it came to pass that there was no contention among all the people, in all the land; but there were mighty miracles wrought among the disciples of Jesus. And it came to pass that there was no contention in the land, because of the love of God which did dwell in the hearts of the people. And there were no envyings, nor strifes, nor tumults, nor whoredoms, nor lyings, nor murders, nor any manner of lasciviousness; and surely there could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God. There were no robbers, nor murderers, neither were there Lamanites, nor any manner of -ites; but they were in one, the children of Christ, and heirs to the kingdom of God. And how blessed were they!”
   • “The Greatest Possession“, October 2021 General Conference, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland: “What is the key to this breakthrough in contented, happy living? It is embedded there in the text in one sentence: ‘The love of God … did dwell in the hearts of the people.’ When the love of God sets the tone for our own lives, for our relationships to each other and ultimately our feeling for all humankind, then old distinctions, limiting labels, and artificial divisions begin to pass away, and peace increases. …
     
     “We are speaking here of the first great commandment given to the human family—to love God wholeheartedly, without reservation or compromise, that is, with all our heart, might, mind, and strength. This love of God is the first great commandment in the universe. …
     
     “It is then, and really only then, that we can effectively keep the second great commandment in ways that are not superficial or trivial. If we love God enough to try to be fully faithful to Him, He will give us the ability, the capacity, the will, and the way to love our neighbor and ourselves. Perhaps then we will be able to say once again, ‘There could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God.'”
   • “We will never regret being too kind. In God’s eyes, kindness is synonymous with greatness. Part of being kind is being forgiving and nonjudgmental.”
   • See others for who they can become – they are glorious beings with divine potential.
4. “My fourth happiness hallmark is to maintain an eternal perspective. Our Father’s plan stretches into the eternities; it is easy to focus on the here and now and forget the hereafter.”
   • “I was taught this lesson powerfully a number of years ago by our then-16-year-old daughter, Jennifer. She was about to have a double lung transplant, where the five diseased lobes of her lungs would be completely removed and replaced by two healthy smaller lobes, donated by two amazing Christlike friends. It was a very high-risk procedure, yet the night before her surgery, Jennifer almost preached to me with all of her 90 pounds (41 kg), saying, ‘Don’t worry, Dad! Tomorrow I will wake up with new lungs, or I will wake up in a better place. Either way will be great.’ That is faith; that is eternal perspective! Seeing life from an eternal vantage point provides clarity, comfort, courage, and hope.”
   • “Elder Gary B. Sabin: ‘Six guiding thoughts’“, Church News, June 23, 2016: “The Sabins are the parents of five children; a sixth child was still-born.
     
     “After their second child, Justin, began having health problems, the couple learned they were each carriers of the gene for cystic fibrosis. Each of their children had a 25 percent chance of inheriting the genetic disease. Three of the Sabin’s five children were born with cystic fibrosis. ‘We have great confidence in the eternal plan for our family,’ said Elder Sabin.
     
     “Justin died of cystic fibrosis on April 22, 1998, at the age of 19. A year later, it became obvious his little sister, Jennifer, would need a double lung transplant. The Sabins’ bishop, Graham Bullick, and ward member, Jim Davies, offered to become live donors and give part of their lungs to Jennifer. Their story is documented in an October 2006 Ensign article titled, “The Breath of Life.”
     
     “It was hard for the Sabins, who wanted to donate their lungs to their daughter but were not a match, to describe their gratitude for this life-saving act. ‘It is hard to put into words the gratitude you feel,’ said Elder Sabin. The act was in many ways symbolic of the Atonement because a life-saving deed was done for the family that they could not do for themselves.
     
     “The Sabins will always remember how their ward and stake rallied to help their family through that time. The family also learned to view life with an ‘eternal view’ and focused on enjoying each day.”
   • Hope (Christlike Attribute): “Hope is not simply wishful thinking. Instead, it is an abiding confidence, grounded in your faith in Christ, that God will fulfill His promises to you (see Moroni 7:42). It is the expectation ‘of good things to come’ through Christ (Hebrews 9:11).”
5. “That brings me to my fifth and final observation, which is you will never be happier than you are grateful.”
   • “After the surgery, when the long-awaited day came to remove the breathing tube and turn off the ventilator that had been helping Jennifer breathe, we anxiously waited to see if her two smaller lobes would work. When she took her first breath, she immediately started crying. Seeing our concern, she quickly exclaimed, ‘It’s just so good to breathe.’
     
     “Ever since that day, I have thanked Heavenly Father morning and night for my ability to breathe. We are surrounded by innumerable blessings that we can easily take for granted if we are not mindful. Conversely, when nothing is expected and everything is appreciated, life becomes magical.
     
     “President Nelson has said: ‘Each new morning is a gift from God. Even the air we breathe is a loving loan from Him. He preserves us from day to day and supports us from one moment to another. Therefore, our first noble deed of the morning should be a humble prayer of gratitude.'” (Teachings of Russell M. Nelson (2018), 137–38.)
   • “Increase in Learning: Spiritual Patterns for Obtaining Your Own Answers” by Elder David A. Bednar: “During our service at Brigham Young University – Idaho, Sister Bednar and I frequently hosted General Authorities in our home. Our family learned an important lesson about meaningful prayer as we knelt to pray one evening with a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
     
     [Elder Bednar went on to share how he and Sister Bednar had learned about the unexpected death of a dear friend of theirs that day. Elder Bednar asked Sister Bednar to pray, and the Apostle asked Sister Bednar to “express only appreciation for blessings received and ask for nothing.”]
     
     “Given the unexpected tragedy, requesting blessings for our friends initially seemed to us more urgent than expressing thanks.
     
     “Sister Bednar responded in faith to the direction she received. She thanked Heavenly Father for meaningful and memorable experiences with this dear friend. She communicated sincere gratitude for the Holy Ghost as the Comforter and for the gifts of the Spirit that enable us to face adversity and to serve others. Most importantly, she expressed appreciation for the plan of salvation, for the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, for His Resurrection, and for the ordinances and covenants of the restored gospel which make it possible for families to be together forever. …
     
     “The most meaningful and spiritual prayers I have experienced contained many expressions of thanks and few, if any, requests. As I am blessed now to pray with apostles and prophets, I find among these modern-day leaders of the Savior’s Church … men whose hearts swell with thanksgiving to God for the many privileges and blessings which He bestows upon His people (see Alma 48:12). Also, they do not multiply many words, for it is given unto them what they should pray, and they are filled with desire (see 3 Nephi 19:24). The prayers of the prophets are childlike in their simplicity and powerful because of their sincerity.
     
     “As we strive to make our prayers more meaningful, we should remember that ‘in nothing doth man offend God, or against none is his wrath kindled, save those who confess not his hand in all things, and obey not his commandments’ (Doctrine and Covenants 59:21). Let me recommend that periodically you and I offer a prayer in which we only give thanks and express gratitude. Ask for nothing; simply let our souls rejoice and strive to communicate appreciation with all the energy of our hearts.”
   • “How our awareness would change if every morning we awoke with only the blessings we were grateful for the night before. Failure to appreciate our blessings can result in a sense of dissatisfaction, which can rob us of the joy and happiness that gratitude engenders.”
   • A wonderful way to express gratitude for covenants is to keep those covenants with exactness.

Report on Prior Week’s Action Item

Last week I committed to contacting a member of my ward council and asking them to discuss, in their next ward council meeting, organizing teacher council meetings for parents in my ward.

Fortunately for me, my wife, Morgan, is currently a member of the ward council in my ward. She intends to talk about organizing teacher council meetings for parents in our ward during the next ward council.

This Week’s Action Item

“That which is measured improves. That which is measured and reported improves exponentially.”

Karl Pearson, an early 20th-century British mathematician

“Those who measure their progress improve. Those who measure and report their progress improve exponentially.”

Dan Sullivan, founder and president of The Strategic Coach Inc.

“Do something, do anything! But to start, just do ONE thing.”

Mitch Peterson

“You will never be happier than you are grateful.” At the end of this upcoming week, I will reflect upon my week, identify the “worst” thing that happened to me, and then determine how I can remain grateful, not only despite that “worst” thing, but because of it.

Let Me Know

How will you take action on this General Conference address? Let me know on social media or email me.

REMEMBER THIS
