I think one of the biggest keys to a happy life is balance between extremes (in a word: temperance). Satan works in extremes. The scriptures are filled with references of how "more or less" than the gospel is evil (More or Less - LDS.org search). We see this in countless examples in life: eating too much verses eating too little, challenging others too much verses being so understanding you limit progress, condoning the sin verses condemning the sinner. The balance in the middle of extremes is where we want to be. To help me understand life more clearly and find more balance, I have made a list of things to study in the future.
These things are Different:
Rest and Idleness
Joy and Happiness
Joy and Happiness
Work and Business
Accepting Differences and Condoning Sin
Honesty and Inconsideration
Addressing Feelings and Dwelling in Negativity
Positivity and Running from Problems
