"Make up your mind to be happy, even when you don’t have money, even when you don’t have a clear complexion, even when you don’t have the Nobel Prize. Some of the happiest people that I know have none of these things the world insists are necessary for satisfaction and joy. Why are they happy? I suppose it’s because they don’t listen very well. Or they listen too well to the things their hearts tell them. They glory in the beauty of the earth. They glory in the rivers & the canyons & the call of the meadowlark. They glory in the love of their families, the stumbling steps of a toddler, the wise and tender smile of the elderly. They glory in honest labor. One thing I know for certain: the time we have here goes by far too quickly. Don’t waist any more time.”
-Elder Joseph B Worthlin
