Straight forward and to the point!

Recently I was reading something and came upon this quote from President Gordon B. Hinckley:

"In my 90+ years, I have learned a secret. I have learned that when good men and good women face challenges with optimism, things will always work out! Truly, things always work out! Despite how difficult circumstances may look at the moment, those who have faith and move forward with a happy spirit will find that things always work out!"
I love how President Hinckley was straight forward and to the point about everything. He knew exactly how to speak to people and make them understand the importance of everything. I figured that a lot of people that I know could use this quote. It is a real testament to not stressing about things you have no control over and allowing Our Father in Heaven to be in charge of our lives. 
A lot of times our negative outlook and our stresses affect how things turn out... It is hard to always remain happy and content but Our Father in Heaven will always take care of things if we let him. I guess we can look at it as  Maybe Heavenly Father wants to do for us to just because he can... and if we don't whine and cry about it, it will get done but if we whine and cry about it... then we can do it ourselves ...I know I do that with my kids ... Maybe Father does that with his kids sometimes!
