Be
happy, it's Stay Sexy Thursday. I read this today and thought it
perfect after the struggles I've had this week. We have ultimate
control over our happiness.
"The more we rely on the Savior’s
grace, the more we will feel that we are on the track our Father in
Heaven has intended for us.
…
We do matter. We determine our happiness.
You and I are ultimately in charge of our own happiness.
My wife, Harriet, and I love riding our bicycles…we don’t pay too much
attention to how far we go or how fast we travel in comparison with
other riders.
However, occasionally I think we should be a bit more
competitive. I even think we could get a better time or ride at a higher
speed if only we pushed ourselves a little more. And then sometimes I
even make the big mistake of mentioning this idea to my wonderful wife.
Her typical reaction to my suggestions of this nature is always very
kind, very clear, and very direct. She smiles and says, “Dieter, it’s
not a race; it’s a journey. Enjoy the moment.”
How right she is!"
