Try a little harder to be a little better

"You are good. But it is not enough just to be good. You must be good for something. You must contribute good to the world. The world must be a better place for your presence. And the good that is in you must be spread to others...." -Gordon B. Hinckley

I would like to say that I'm good. I'm not too sure what I'm good for yet. Hopefully I'll be good for something one day. I absolutely love this. Everytime I hear this quote or think of it, it just makes me want to do better. Do better in every single thing I do. I want to go feed homeless kids in third world countries and donate my wardrobe to kids in Africa...but today while I was thinking about this, I realized to be good for something and contribute something to the world, it doesn't have to be a huge thing. I realized I could be good for something as small as making someone smile, or making something a little easier for someone. I could be good for just being an example for others that I'm around and spread good that way. I don't think I'm the only one who thinks this way, that to make a contribution to the world, has to be something BIGG. It doesn't. President Hinckley is freakin awesome. Enough said.
