0:00.0	Welcome to Part 2 with Brother Mike Madsen in the Book of Samuel.
0:06.1	Maybe my favorite thing, Elder Holland, said although I have hundreds of these favorite things that Elder Holland said.
0:13.7	Brothers and sisters, there are going to be times in our lives when someone else gets an unexpected blessing or receive some special recognition.
0:21.7	May I plead with us not to be hurt and certainly not to feel envious when good fortune comes to another person?
0:27.4	We are not diminished when someone else is added upon. We are not in a race against each other
0:33.0	to see who is the wealthiest or the most talented or the most beautiful or the most blessed.
0:38.3	The race we are really in is the race against sin, and surely envy is one of the most universal

1:28.8	You remind me a lot of Alma the younger when he says,
1:31.5	My joy is morful because of the success of my brethren.
1:35.3	That's Alma 29.
1:37.5	Alma 2914, I do not joy in my success alone.
1:42.1	My joy is moreful because of the success of my brethren,
1:45.7	who have been up to the land of Nephi. Verse 16, when I think of the success of these my
1:51.0	brethren, my soul is carried away even to the separation of it from the body, as it were,
1:56.1	so great is my joy. You mentioned Stephen Covey, Mike, the Sikh first to understand and to be understood.
