"Performance is what matters, not the size of the stage." -Neal A. Maxwell
It's so easy for us to get caught up in the day to day. How many of us have countdowns to the next great event in our lives?? I know I do.. 91 days until I am officially done with college, and I live by the countdown recently. But there are 91 days of living right there! 91 days that need to be enjoyed.
We can catch our selves constantly saying I will be happy when:
-I graduate college
-I get married
- I can get a job
-I make more money
-I have kids
-I get a new car
-I have some new clothes
.... and on and on. Everyone is a victim of this thought process. Sometimes we wake up and say, if I just get through this day, I will be better; or TGIF- my life is happy once it is the weekend. But we have the power to overcome that and LIVE the day to day. I know I need this message right now, it's a good reminder, and maybe you do too.
"Life is to be enjoyed, not endured." -Gordon B. Hinckley
Happiness doesn't start in 91 days 12 hours and 16 minutes. It's now. Now is my life. Whatever I am doing, this is me, this is my stage, it's my performance that matters, not how many people are watching- it's for me and those closest to me. I will enjoy these 91 days, not just endure them.

Happy Sunday
Good thoughts, this reminds me of the young women lesson today! I agree. Sometimes easier said than done, but true.
