09. Your favorite quote or counsel from a church leader and why (this could be bishops, stake presidents, young men’s or young women’s leaders, or a General Authority. Whatever means a lot to you).
Well as you know from my post the other day, President Gordon B. Hinckley is/was my favorite prophet. With this in mind, there is two quotes from him that I absolutely love:
"In all of living, have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured."
and
"Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds."
The first is a quote that my bestest friend in the whole wide world (of the female gender) put on plaque for me for Christmas. It must have been our first semester together. And she mysteriously disappeared with Jill for a few hours and came back with Christmas presents for Hannah and me. I was super excited because well Karyn is amazing and she put a lot of work and effort into them for us. I had never heard this quote before but once I read it, I loved it. And I took it to heart, I need to try to enjoy every minute of everyday. Before I know it, I am going to be into the next stage of life and wondering where the heck the last phase went.
The second is just a quote I really like and one that hasn't nearly touched my heart as much as it should have. It is a really great quote that should inspire us to work harder and stop being lazy bums. Something that I am still working on everyday. Being more productive and getting more out of each day.
