The earth was cursed for Adam's sake. Work is our blessing, not our doom. God has a work to do, and so should we.
From Ezra Taft Benson
Retirement from work has depressed many a man and hastened his death.
In general, the more food we eat in its natural state - without additives - and the less it is refined, the healthier it will be for us. Food can affect the mind, and deficiencies of certain elements in the body can promote mental depression.
Many a man in his hour of trial has turned to the Book of Mormon and been enlightened, enlivened, and comforted. The psalms in the Old Testament have a special food for the soul of one in distress.
Inspiring music may fill the soul with heavenly thoughts, move one to righteous action, or speak peace to the soul.
To love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength is all-consuming and all-encompassing. It is no lukewarm endeavor.
Our desires, be they spiritual or temporal, should be rooted in a love of the Lord.
God our Father, Jesus, our Elder Brother and our Redeemer, and the Holy Ghost, the Testator, are perfect. They know us best and love us most and will not leave one thing undone for our eternal welfare. Should we not love them for it and honor them first?
Our mothers put God first when they fill their highest mission within the walls of their own homes.
Daily, constantly, we choose by our desires, our thoughts, and our actions whether we want to be blessed or cursed, happy or miserable.
