Here is my mini report from October General Conference 2008:
All of the conference talks were wonderful, but one that stuck out for me was given in the Relief Society Broadcast by President Uchtdof, entitled “Happiness is your Heritage”. It was so great that I had to re-listen to it – twice. It would be worth anyone’s time to read and be motivated by:

Isn’t happiness really what we all long for? He narrows it (finding happiness) down to two things: creating beauty and being compassionate. I like that – a lot, it doesn’t sound hard or intimidating!
Here are a couple of my favorite quotes from his talk:
“What you create doesn’t have to be perfect. Don’t let failure discourage you.”
“In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness. But the prayers we answer may be of even greater importance.”
“As spirit daughters of our Heavenly Father, Happiness is your heritage!”
Hope you have a happy day!

Wonderful comments. There is no doubt that true and lasting happiness comes in serving and living in a way that leaves a happy memory for you and those you love most. Conference was wonderful!

That was one of my favorite talks too, what simple things that can and I believe will bring true and lasting happiness. I love your thoughts, thanks.

I love the “what we create doesn’t have to be perfect!” I think of that with every aspect of my life. As long as it is my best “my very best” (Pres. Hinckley), that is perfect for me!
