Thinking Of Changing Yourself?

"Don't become weary in doing good. If we are patient, we can
experience the change of heart we seek. For most of us this will require
only a slight change of course, sending us toward true north. The
adjustments we must make are in those 'small things,' but that does
not mean they are easy. Too many forces are confusing our compass. But the
pull to the polar star is one we recognize. It is the direction toward
home."
-- Sister Kathleen H. Hughes, "Out of Small Things," Ensign, November 2004, 111

Yourself Changing Thinking

The above quote really stuck out to me today. There is always the complications, excuses and reasons to avoid doing good or giving service, but we should not - we should be ever willing and ready to give service. Truly doing good and expecting nothing in return changes men - I have felt this change in the past and it is something I need to repent of because of the many times I have chosen to occupy myself with things that cannot bring real blessings for those that can - I need to recommit myself to do it again - selfless service. Amen.

Thinking Of Changing Yourself? Studies Doctrine Mormon

"Those who have felt the touch of the Master's hand somehow cannot
explain the change which comes into their lives. There is a desire to live
better, to serve faithfully, to walk humbly, and to be more like the
Savior. Having received their spiritual eyesight and glimpsed the promises
of eternity, they echo the words of the blind man to whom Jesus restored
sight: 'One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see'
(John 9:25)."
-- President Thomas S. Monson, "Anxiously Engaged," Ensign, November 2004, 58
