We are not perfect. The people around us are not perfect. People do things that annoy, disappoint, and anger. In this mortal life it will always be that way. Nevertheless, we must let go of our grievances. Part of the purpose of mortality is to learn how to let go of such things. That is the Lord’s way. Remember, heaven is filled with those who have this in common: They are forgiven. And they forgive.

There is an important difference between the sorrow for sin that leads to repentance and the sorrow that leads to despair.

Personal testimony of the gospel and the Church is the most important thing you can earn in this life.

Heaven is filled with those who have this in common: they are forgiven and they forgive.

Allow Christ's Atonement to change and heal your heart.

The happiest people I know are not those who find their golden ticket; they are those who, while in pursuit of worthy goals, discover and treasure the beauty and sweetness of the everyday moments.

As we patiently follow the Savior, He will bless us beyond our own capacity to become what He wants us to be.
