Treat Valentine’s Day Like Christmas.

Often time the reasons Valentine’s Day is so awful is because we become so self-centered on this day. So instead of making Valentine’s Day about you, make it about someone else. Just like Christmas is more enjoyable when your focus is doing good, the same is true on Valentine’s Day! Call your mother or sisters, maybe make some cookies and give them out to the girls in your classes. Offer to babysit someone’s kids for free so they can have a date night! Sending your friends a text message telling them how much you appreciate their friendship. There are so many ways to bring joy into the lives of others and #LIGHTtheWORLD on Valentine’s Day!

“If you really want to receive joy and happiness, then serve others with all your heart.”
Ezra Taft Benson
