For my talk that inspires me, I chose "Happiness, Your Heritage" by Dieter F Uchtdorf. Just reading the title makes me smile because it states something that is so true. We deserve to be happy as children of God. It is our divine right to live and be happy. We all deserve to be happy as does everyone around us. He says in his talk, "As we lift others, we rise a little higher ourselves." So what does this mean? It means, when you are in the service of your fellow being, you are only in the service of your God. As we serve others and love others, it will buoy up our own self.
President Lorenzo Snow said, "When you find yourselves a little gloomy, look around you and find somebody that is in a worse plight than yourself; go to him and find out what the trouble is, then try to remove it with the wisdom which the Lord bestows upon you; and the first thing you know, your gloom is gone, and you feel light, the Spirit of the Lord is upon you, and everything seems illuminated."
Now this doesn't mean to out and look for people to fix. If you haven't figured this out by know, a lot of people don't like to be fixed, the often are just wanting a friend. So go out, forget yourself, and serve.
