What will you choose to be like?

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

~Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
  founder of the Missionaries of Charity

What will you become?

Watch your thoughts they become your words.

Watch your words they become your actions.

Watch your actions they become your habit.

Watch your habits they become your character.

Watch your character it becomes your destiny.

~Frank Outlaw

What is happiness to you?

Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling.

Because He Lives

Change

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
~Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)
  American theologian

The Holy Ghost

The gift of the Holy Ghost, if you consent, will guide and protect you and even correct your actions. It is a spiritual voice that comes into the mind as a thought or a feeling put into your heart....It is not expected that you go through life without making mistakes, but you will not make a major mistake without first being warned by the promptings of the Spirit. This promise applies to all members of the church.
~Boyd K. Packer

Greatness

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

~Mark Twain (1835-1910)
