Striving can be more important than arriving.
The direction in which we are moving is more important than where we are at the moment. Goal setting should cause us to stretch as we make our way.
Adaptability cushions the impact of change or disappointment.
Tact is rubbing out another’s mistakes, not rubbing them in.
The world is filled with too many of us who are inclined to indicate our love with an announcement or declaration. True love is a process. True love requires personal action. Love must be continuing to be real. Love takes time.
God’s love for us is constant and will not diminish, but he cannot rescue us from the painful results that are caused by wrong choices.
Adversity will surface in every life. How we meet it makes the difference.
Often our self-esteem is bruised by criticism.
Constant criticism can wear one down and weaken knees.
We should teach, particularly ourselves, that nobody is a nobody. We are someone, and with God’s help we can accomplish all things.
We need to remove unworthy from our vocabulary and replace it with hope and work.
Worthiness is a process, and perfection is an eternal trek. We can be worthy to enjoy certain privileges without being perfect.
Difficulties can be a valuable tool in our pursuit of perfection. Adversity need have no necessary connection with failure.
Some of us are inclined to look to the weaknesses and shortcomings of others in order to expand our own comfort zone.
Being of good cheer makes it possible for us to turn all of our sunsets into sunrises.
A man must rise by his own efforts and walk by faith.
The gospel is one of harmony, unity, and agreement. It must be presented in love, and with glad tidings, by those who are calm.
It is a happy day when we come to know that with God’s help, nothing is impossible for us.
We invite all to serve the Savior and walk in His paths straightway. There is an urgency for all of us who have this knowledge of His divinity to act upon it without hesitation or delay. The time is now.
It is up to each of us to search for and build upon the gifts which God has given. We must remember that each of us is made in the image of God, that there are no unimportant persons. Everyone matters to God and to his fellowmen.
