"Certainly one of our God-given privileges is the right to choose what our attitude will be in any given set of circumstances. We can let the events that surround us determine our actions—or we can personally take charge and rule our lives, using as guidelines the principles of pure religion. Pure religion is learning the gospel of Jesus Christ and then putting it into action. Nothing will ever be of real benefit to us until it is incorporated into our own lives."
--Marvin J. Ashton, "Pure Religion", Ensign, Nov. 1982, 63
This was definitely something that I needed to hear when I read it. Changing my attitude seemed so much easier to do when I was younger. It is very hard for me to change my attitude now once it has taken hold. That can be a good thing and a bad thing, depending on the circumstances. Changing it to a more positive, productive, and loving attitude is my goal here.
