keep moving, keep serving, and keep reaching out

Hello ladies!  Firstly let me apologize for the late post, but I couldn't decide which article to use and never made the time.  This is the article I needed to read, and I need to re-read it about once a week, this spoke directly to me, The title of the talk is There Is Purpose in Life by President Spencer W. Kimball

This talk is a little long but he says so many things I needed to hear.  I love what he says about service, I mean we've all heard it about a million times, that if we lose ourselves in service, that is how we find ourselves.  He says though, that when we don't care about God or man, then no amount of training or technique will help us very much.  I think this is an important point, I love self help books and "programs", from organization to weight loss, there are all sorts of experts to offer methods and programs, but if we don't care about God or our fellow man, they won't help us....that was an aha for me.

I also loved this part...well the whole thing...but especially the part at the end, when he says straight up that if you aren't getting what you want, change something. Do more, do better, follow the commandments, go to work. OH....that would be my problem, he doesn't say anywhere to whine, wallow in self pity, or become bitter and resentful...hmmmm, I will have to think about this part some more.
