I meet so many people who constantly complain about the burden of their responsibilities.  Of course the pressures are great.  There is much, too much, to do....  Turn your thinking around.  The gospel is good news.  Man is that he might have joy.  Be happy!  Let that happiness shine through your faces and speak through your testimonies....

I enjoy these words of Jenkins Lloyd Jones....

Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he’s been robbed.

Most putts don’t drop.  Most beef is tough.  Most children grow up to be just people.  Most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration.  Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise.

Life is like an old-time rail journey—delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed.

The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.

Gordon B. Hinckley

(quoting Jenkins Lloyd Jones)

Definitely agree with this -- and my life has been a lot more joyful since I first heard, and internalized, this quote. 1995, wasn't it, that President Hinckley quoted it?

Yes.  You can see his name (right justified) after the quote.
