Service with a Smile

Some of you may be familiar with the story of President Gordon B. Hinckley when he was on his mission, feeling very grievous and upset. He complained to his dad about his troubles, and his dad told him, "Forget yourself and go to work".


This is probably one of my favorite sayings ever. I've noticed people enjoy complaining about their problems and like talking about themselves. (I'm totally guilty of this!) But honestly, it doesn't matter! If you're really feeling upset about life, don't sit around and mope. Go to work and serve others!


Today I got to start my day off at 6am and help clean my high school campus. At first I was mumbling because it was so early, but I quickly hushed up and grabbed a broom. It looked pretty good! Try finding ways to serve others. Your self satisfaction will boost, you'll help others, and forget about all your stress. What more can you ask for?!
