Small, Simple, and Fulfilling

Sometimes, it's hard for me to feel that my life is very fulfilling. Very often I feel I could do more or there are these things I told myself I would accomplish but haven't yet. My roommate reminded me of many seemingly ordinary things I have in my life that are fulfilling. They include getting an education at a great school, doing good work in my campus job, extending my group of friends by getting involved in a club that focuses on one of my great hobbies, supporting friends in their activities, and organizing activities to continue to make and keep friends.

It is not my intention to boast. I only hope that the things I've mentioned (which were mentioned to me by my roommate) can help everyone who reads this post to recognize the good things they are doing in their lives. So many of these things seem small, and many people wish they could do more. But, as it says in the Book of Mormon, "by small and simple things are great things brought to pass...and by very small means the Lord doth confound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls." (Alma 37:6-7, page 300)
