The easy cure for worry

President Gordon B. Hinckley (one of the prophets of the LDS church) was an absolutely profound and service-oriented man who made brilliant little quips. Today I would like to share a little gem of his. When we are struggling, the best cure is to give ourselves purpose by getting outside of ourselves and helping someone else.
“The best antidote I know for worry is work. The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired. One of the great ironies of life is this: He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served.”
