His unselfishness, his positive attitude (even with all that!), made me feel like such a spoiled, rotten, whiney butt, and it also made me want to be better. Why waste time complaining about things when you can change them? Life is too short. Read your scriptures, say your prayers, tell your family you love them. Don't listen to bad music or watch bad shows. Don't waste time. It's so simple...I just love the gospel, and how true it is, and how it makes everything clear. I'm so thankful to Heavenly Father for being so patient with me, especially when I know better. ESPECIALLY when I know better. And I know that I know better. Everything I complain about is so trivial. And I have the Gospel, for muffin's sake! I have no room to complain, no room at all. I know my purpose, I know where I'm going. I have the scriptures. I have the opportunity to go to dang BYU-I! I have so many talents. I have a great family. I'm not dirt-poor. I have absolutely NOTHING to complain about. So many blessings, and I don't recognise them often enough. But that's going to change.
Nothing to say, except that life is awesome (stay positive!)
