There are few things in life that bring as much joy as the joy that comes from assisting another improve his or her life.

A sense of humor is an escape valve for the pressures of life.

Choosing to do what the Lord has defined as right will, in the long run, always lead to the best outcomes.

I know that every difficulty we face in life, even those that come from our own negligence or even transgression, can be turned by the Lord into growth experiences, a virtual ladder upward. I certainly do not recommend transgression as a path to growth. It is painful, difficult, and so totally unnecessary. It is far wiser and so much easier to move forward in righteousness. But through proper repentance, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and obedience to His commandments, even the disappointment that comes from transgression can be converted into a return to happiness.

To gain unshakable faith in Jesus Christ is to flood your life with brilliant light.

Chose to converse with your Father in Heaven often. Make time every day to share your thoughts and feelings with Him.

What I am trying to teach is that when we keep the temple covenants we have made and when we live righteously in order to maintain the blessings promised by those ordinances, then come what may, we have no reason to worry or to feel despondent.
