This week I have been helping my mom make a quote book of
all our favorite quotes. There is one by Gordon B.
Hinckley, it is not my favorite but I like it because it is so true, well for
me anyways. “Generally speaking, the most miserable people I know are
those who are obsessed with themselves; the happiest people I know are those
who lose themselves in the service of others...By and large, I have come to see
that if we complain about life, it is because we are thinking only of
ourselves.” It always seems like my bad days where everything is going wrong
and I complain about everything is the same day I only care about myself and my
problems. Then the days that are good days are the ones where I help others and
don't complain as much. If we look around us we can always find people that
have it better than us and if we look at them we will probably feel like we
have it bad. We can also look at people that have it worse than us and when we
look at them we realize how blessed we are. Then if we take it the extra step
and help those out we not only recognize how good we got it but we also have a
reason to feel good about our self.
