I know why there must be opposition in all things. Adversity, if handled correctly, can be a blessing in our lives. We can learn to love it.
Joseph B. WirthlinI know that each of us has much to do. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by the tasks we face. But if we keep our priorities in order, we can accomplish all that we should. We can endure to the end regardless of temptations, problems, and challenges.
Joseph B. WirthlinI believe that many people are unhappy because they have not learned to be grateful. Some carry the burden of bitterness and resentfulness for many years. Some pass their days as though suffering a deep sadness they cannot name. Others are unhappy because life didnโt turn out the way they thought it would.
Joseph B. WirthlinAt the final day the Savior will not ask about the nature of our callings. He will not inquire about our material possessions or fame. He will ask if we ministered to the sick, gave food and drink to the hungry, visited those in prison, or gave succor to the weak. When we reach out to assist the least of Heavenly Fatherโs children, we do it unto Him. That is the essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Joseph B. WirthlinNo matter our age, our circumstances, or abilities... Each one of us can create something remarkable with our lives.
Joseph B. WirthlinIf we only look around us, there are a thousand reasons for us not to be happy, and it is simplicity itself to blame our unhappiness on the things we lack in life. It doesnโt take any talent at all to find them. The problem is, the more we focus on the things we donโt have, the more unhappy and more resentful we become.
