During the General Relief Society Broadcast {check it out here} of the church, many great things were said...but the below photo represents a talk that I personally enjoyed and felt edified from listening to.
{found this online at sugardoodle.net and loved it so much that I needed to re-post it}
One of the most inspiring parts of President Uchtdorf's, Forget Me Not talk, featured above, that strengthened me personally, went like this:
{this part of the talk speaks about "golden tickets" as a reference to the "golden tickets" in the chocolate bars from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie-- identifying things that would bring us happiness}
"In all our dissapointments about our "golden tickets" we fail to recognize the blessings we do have. If we spend our days waiting for fabulous roses, we could miss the beauty and wonder of the tiny forget-me-nots that are all around us. This doesn't mean we should abandon hope or temper our goals. Never stop striving for the best that is within you. Never stop hoping for all of the righteous desires of your heart but don't close your eyes and hearts to the simple and elegant beauties of each days ordinary moments that make up a rich well lived life. The happiest people I know aren't those that find their 'golden ticket' they are those who while in pursuit of worthy goals, discover and treasure the beauty and sweetness of the everyday moments."
Be happy now.
