The Key to Selflessness

D&C 82
What do I need to do to put others' lives ahead of my own?
*I need to become humble and obtain a perspective that lets me see everyone as God's creations, as His spirit children.
*To be humble, I need to acknowledge the things the Lord has blessed me with, and continues to bless me with.
*Say my prayers of gratitude
*Give at every opportunity
*Always be anxiously engaged in a good cause
*Release a grudge
*Be thoughtful
*Consider myself a servant to others (Whatever you do for others is the same as doing it for the Lord)
*Everyone should have the opportunity to feel the happiness, peace, and joy that comes from experiencing the truthfulness of the Gospel.

-Mosiah 2:20-21 "I say unto you, my brethren, that if you should render all the thanks and praise which your whole soul has power to possess, to that God who has created you, and has kept and preseved you, and has caused that ye should rejoice, and has granted that ye should live in peace one with another -- I say unto you that if ye should serve him who has created you from the beginning, and is preserving you from day to day, by l ending you breath, that ye may live and move and do according to your own will, and even supporting you from one moment to another -- I say, if ye should serve him with all your whole souls yet ye would be unprofitable servants."
