I have been sharing the idea that serving others is a remedy for many of your own personal problems, because I have a testimony of that principle.  


"How God anointed Jesus of Nazereth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him." Acts 10:38 

"Only when you lift a burden, God will lift your burden.  Divine paradox this is!  The man who staggers and falls because his burden is too great can lighten that burden by taking on the weight of another's burden.  You get by giving, but your part of giving must be given first" (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, p. 251).
