"Finding Joy in the Journey"

"This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now."
-Thomas S. Monson

I love this quote! Life is too short to spend all our time wishfully longing for the day when our troubles are gone and life is "perfect." Because let's face it, it's never going to be! I think if we can learn to find joy now, and be happy every day, then life will be a lot better. Don't you think so?
