"So much in life
depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to
others makes all the difference. To do the best we can and then to choose to
be happy about our circumstances, whatever they may be, can bring peace and
contentment."
—Thomas S. Monson, "Living
the Abundant Life"

"You know that God
is your Father. He loves you. He wants you to be happy. Put your trust in Him
(see 2 Nephi 4:34; 28:31). Maintain your focus on His holy temple. Be worthy
to receive your endowment and sealing ordinances. Remain faithful to those
covenants, and return frequently to the temple. Remember, your loftiest goal
is to gain the greatest of all the blessings of God, that of eternal life
(see D&C 14:7). Temple ordinances are essential for that blessing (see
D&C 131:1–3)."
