Pursuit of Happyness

I've seen this movie a couple of times but it's been awhile since I've watched it. We watched it tonight at my sister's house. I was really glad to watch it. It really helped put things in perspective.

Lately I've been thinking about where we are in our life right now and it can be somewhat discouraging. Sometimes it just seems like it's going to take forever before I get my nursing degree - a part of me wonders if it will be worth it. But I know it will be worth it in the end.

Anyway - so watching this movie of a father struggling to take care of his son and have a stable living really inspired me. It told me that no matter what happens if we work hard and never give up that we will be okay. And it didn't show this aspect in the movie but I imagine it's also true that if we put all of our trust in Heavenly Father that He will guide us and help us along the way.

Quote of the Week

"We are often left to work out problems, without the dictation or specific direction of the Spirit. That is part of the experience we must have in mortality. Fortunately, we are never out of the Savior's sight, and if our judgement leads us to actions beyond the limits of what is permissible and if we are listening to the still small voice, the Lord will restrain us by the promptings of His Spirit." - Elder Dallin H. Oaks

"We don't have to be perfect today. We don't have to be better than someone else. All we have to do is to be the very best we can." - Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin
