I watched a couple of sessions of General conference yesterday. One of the talks had a quote that stood out to me so I thought I would post it. The talk was entitled "The Eternal Perspective of the Gospel" By Elder Rafael E. Piño of the 70. It was a wonderful talk and I would encourage you to read the entire thing by clicking on the link.
Here is the quote I really liked by President Spencer W. Kimball.
"If we looked at mortality as the whole of existence, then pain, sorrow, failure, and short life would be calamity. But if we look upon life as an eternal thing stretching far into the premortal past and on into the eternal post-death future, then all happenings may be put in proper perspective.”
Having an eternal perspective makes life much more tolerable and joyful. Mortality really is a drop in the bucket. This is why it's so important to endure to the end!
That's my two cents.
