Don't Worry, Be Happy! (7)

About two weekends ago, after coming home from church, I decided to look up some Mormon Messages. I always loved watching them when I was in Young Women's and I continue to love them now in Relief Society. There's just something about them that uplifts me and makes me have a better perspective on things when I'm feeling down - which is the whole reason the church has put out these messages! So I've decided to compile some of my favorite Mormon Messages and my thoughts on them in this post. I hope that they'll be able to strengthen you in the way that they have for me!
1) You Never Know How Much Good You Do - This is one of the longer videos (8:54), but it's also one of my absolute favorites. Although I'm not a mom (yet) like the woman in this video, and maybe you're not either, I still think that everyone can relate to the message. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed by life and that you aren't getting everything you want done. But what you don't see is the positive impact your actions have on others. You're not a failure. You never know how much good you do!
2) Moments That Matter Most - In life, we're often busy with all the things that demand our attention. Sometimes because of our busy schedules we overlook the things that matter most. I love this video because it reminds me to remember things like my family, the blessing of this earth, and the little things that can bring me happiness. I know that when we keep the things that matter most in our mind we our brought closer to our Heavenly Father.
3) Reclaimed - It's inevitable that we all mess up sometimes. That's why we were given the power of the atonement. Elder Holland has said, "It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ's Atonement shines." Even though you may feel that you've done something that you can't be forgiven for, that is simply not true! Heavenly Father loves you. You can always be forgiven.
4) Good Things to Come - Yes, life is hard. Trials will come for every one of us. But this doesn't mean that you should ever give up. Sometimes you may be clouded by the sorrow or hardship that comes from a trial, but Heavenly Father has good things in store for you. Never forget that!
After watching these messages, can you see why I love them so much? Pretty awesome, right? If you want to see more, there's literally over a hundred of them on the website I hyper-linked earlier. Plus, you can find them all on YouTube! I hope that you'll go to them whenever you feel the need to. I know that they're truly uplifting and I'm grateful to have them!
