"Dang mortality" is what I say when I am frustrated with unfortunate things that happen in life. ie: waking up tired or late, running late everywhere, getting a bruise, falling, getting sick. All of these frustrating things are "dang mortality" circumstances.
Elder Deter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said, "when we are grateful to God in our circumstances, we can experience gentle peace in the midst of tribulation. In grief, we can still lift up our hearts in praise. In pain, we can glory in Christ’s Atonement. In the cold of bitter sorrow, we can experience the closeness and warmth of heaven’s embrace."
My goal is to embrace those mortal circumstances that we have been given the opportunity to experience thanks to our Savior Jesus Christ.
