“Even in your most difficult times, you can find much to be grateful for. Doing so will strengthen and bless you.” - For the Strength of Youth
Doctrine and Covenants 78:17-19
17 Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye are little children, and ye have not as yet understood how great blessings the Father hath in his own hands and prepared for you;
18 And ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are yours.
19 And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more.
The more you notice God’s hand in your life, the more he can help you.

Someone spoke on, Why are you here?
Alma 32:21
21 And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.
A testimony takes time.
There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
Matthew 7:20
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
What are these doctrines and principles producing for you?
If the Church is making you unhappy, you are doing it wrong.

Elders Quorum
“President Gordon B. Hinckley’s mother, Ada Bitner Hinckley, often said that ‘a happy attitude and smiling countenance could boost one over almost any misfortune and that every individual was responsible for his own happiness.’ His father, Bryant S. Hinckley, also had an ‘inherently positive outlook.’ President Hinckley recalled, ‘When I was a young man and was prone to speak critically, my father would say: “Cynics do not contribute, skeptics do not create, doubters do not achieve.”’ Influenced by his parents’ counsel and example, young Gordon Hinckley learned to approach life with optimism and faith.” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Gordon B Hinckley, chapter 3)
When you first wake up, put a positive thought in your head. Don't just wake up and think of how tired you are.
“I am asking that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. I am suggesting that as we go through life we ‘accentuate the positive.’ I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment virtue and effort. I am not asking that all criticism be silenced. Growth comes of correction. Strength comes of repentance. Wise is the man who can acknowledge mistakes pointed out by others and change his course.” (President Gordon B. Hinckley, “The Spirit of Optimism”, New Era July 2001)
Matthew 5:5
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
