Some Reminders

Here is a video that someone made from part of a BYU Devotional talk: http://www.youtube.com/v/snAjZ8mfoYw&hl=en&fs=1

Here are my favorite parts:

"In your life there have to be challenges. They will either bring you closer to God and therefore make you stronger, or they can destroy you. But you make the decision of which road you take."

"First and foremost, you are a spirit child of God. If you neglect to feed your spirit, you will reap unhappiness. Don't permit anything to detract you from this awareness."

"Put all frustrations, hurt feelings, and grumblings into the perspective of your eternal hope. Light will flow into your soul."

"When you cannot love someone, look into that person's eyes long enough to find the hidden rudiments of the child of God in him."

"Avoid at all cost any pessimistic, negative, or criticizing thoughts. If you cannot cut them out, they will do you harm. On the road toward salvation, let questions arise but never doubts. If something is wrong, God will give you clarity but never doubts."

"Avoid rush and haste and uncontrolled words. Divine light develops in places of peace and quiet. Be aware of that as you enter places of worship."

He must have known I would read this talk!
