FINDING JOY IN THE JOURNEY

This is our one and only chance at mortal life - here and now.  The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief.  Opportunities come, and then they are gone.  I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not.  I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do.  Instead, find joy in the journey - now.

Throughout our lives, we must deal with change.  Some changes are welcome; some are not.  There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure.  But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now.  The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes.  The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details.  Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes.

(President Thomas S. Monson)
