We often think to ourselves in our times of trials, "Why me? What did I do to deserve this?" But we should look at our trials and think to ourselves "Why not me?"
Difficulties, trials, and temptations are not there to punish us; they are there to help us grow and become better. Without trails and temptations we would never be the potential that we are to become. Such like a person wanting to become a doctor, scientist, or a teacher; one day they won't wake up and know everything to be a doctor, scientist or teacher. They have to learn and increase their knowledge on the field they want to have a career in.
Now apply this to ourselves; if we do not grow and become better we can never reach our potential. We must go through tough times in this life -- it was part of the agreement we made to come down to Earth. We knew we'd be tried, we'd feel alone, and life would be hard but we also knew it would all be worth it. Even though none of us can remember what Pre-mortal Life was like, we must remember there had to be a great reason why we'd come to earth and why Christ, our Savior would come down to save us all.
We should look at challenges not as punishment but as opprunities from the Lord to show Him and others our testimony and faith. Strive to change all "Why me?"'s to "Why not me?"'s for we all could use some extra blessing and some more boost to become more like our Savior and Heavenly Parents.
