- “Often those who struggle with adversity ask the question ‘why did this happen to me?’ They spend sleepless nights wondering why they feel so lonely, sick, discouraged, oppressed, or brokenhearted. The question ‘why me?’ can be a difficult one to answer and often leads to frustration and despair. There is a better question to ask ourselves. That question is ‘what could I learn from this experience?’ The way we answer that question may determine the quality of our lives not only on this earth but also in the eternities to come. Though our trials are diverse, there is one thing the Lord expects of us no matter our difficulties and sorrows: He expects us to press on.” (Joseph B. Wirthlin,Ensign, Nov. 2004, 101)
- “We forget that we create the situations, then we give our power away by blaming the other person for our frustration. No person, no place, and no thinghas any power over us, for “we” are the only thinkers in our mind. We create our experiences, our reality, and everyone in it. When we create peace and harmony and balance in our mind, we will find it in our lives.” You Can Heal Your Life (Louise Hay) Page 125
