“Sometimes we look at what others might have or be and feel
we are less in comparison. We become focused on the Pinterest or Instagram
versions of life or caught up in our school’s or workplace’s preoccupation with
competition. However, when we take a moment to count our many blessings, we see
with a truer perspective and recognize the goodness of God to all of His
children. Whether we are eight or a hundred and eight, we can bring the light
of the gospel into our own environment, be it a high-rise apartment in
Manhattan, a stilt house in Malaysia, or a yurt in Mongolia. We can determine
to look for the good in others and in the circumstances around us. Young and
not-so-young women everywhere can demonstrate charity as they choose to use
words that build confidence and faith in others.” – Jean B. Bingham, First
Counselor in the Primary General Presidency
