I came across this video of a talk Elder Busche gave at BYU. You can read the full talk here. This video is only part of the talk and is so packed full of INCREDIBLE advice. Here are a few of my favorite thoughts from him but seriously it is worth watching/reading the whole thing.
* When you are compelled to give up something or when things that are dear to you are withdrawn from you, know that this is your lesson to be learned right now. But know also that, as you are learning this lesson, God wants to give you something better.
* When you are physically sick, tired, or in despair, steer your thoughts away from yourself and direct them, in gratitude and love, toward God.
* God knows better than you what you need. He always attempts to speak to you. Listen, and follow the uncomfortable suggestions that he makes to us--everything will fall into its place.
* If someone hurts you so much that your feelings seem to choke you, forgive and you will be free again.
* The pain of sacrifice lasts only one moment. It is the fear of the pain of sacrifice that makes you hesitate to do it.
