- If you don't raise the bar, how will you ever know your potential?
- If you want to be a missionary, you must be able to clear the minimum standards.
- Do not disqualify yourself from the blessings bestowed on those who serve.
- Please recognize that while your teaching as a missionary may be persuasive, only the Spirit converts.
Donald L. Hallstrom -Do It Now
- Do it. Do it now.
- Procrastination leads to the loss of exaltation.
- One of the most serious human defects in all ages is procrastination, an unwillingness to accept personal responsibilities now.
- Easy Street is a dead end!
- Procrastination may seem the easy way, as it momentarily removes the effort required to accomplish something of value. Ironically, in time, procrastination produces a heavy burden laced with guilt and a hollow lack of satisfaction.
- Temporal and, even more importantly, spiritual goals will not be achieved by procrastination.
- Now is the time to exercise our faith. Now is the time to commit to righteousness. Now is the time to do whatever is required to resolve our undesired circumstances. Now is the time to reconcile with God.
L. Whitney Clayton -Blessed Are All the Pure in Heart
- If something "isn't too bad," that automatically means that it isn't too good either.
- The condition of our heart determines how much evidence of divinity we see in the world now.
- Ours is a quest for purity.
- Come unto Christ, and lay hold upon every good gift, and touch not the evil gift, nor the unclean thing.
Walter F. Gonzalez -Today Is the Time
- We don't know when or how earthquakes will hit us. They likely won't be literal shakings of the earth .. but rather quakes of temptations, sin, or trials. Today is the time to prepare for when that type of quake comes. Today is the time to prepare--not during the crisis.
Henry B. Eyring -God Helps the Faithful Priesthood Holder
- Haven't I always looked after you? Think of the times I have led you beside the still waters. Remember the times I have set a table before you in the presence of your enemies. Remember, and fear no evil.
- What is impossible for you is possible with God's help in His service.
- Forget yourself -- start praying about the people you are to serve.
- Priesthood power is given you to bless others. And that always takes moving out and doing something, usually something hard to do.
- Success requires people we serve to choose to accept the testimony of the Spirit into their hearts. The Spirit is ready. But many people aren't ready to invite the Spirit.
- You can decide--and you must--to change what you say even when you can't control what others say.
Thomas S. Monson -A Royal Priesthood
- Times may change, circumstances may alter, but the marks of a true holder of the priesthood of God remain constant.
- The door of history turns on small hinges, and so do people's lives.
- We are the result of many small decisions. In effect, we are the product of our choices.
- It is not enough to want to make the effort and to say we'll make the effort. We must actually make the effort. It's in the doing, not just the thinking, that we accomplish our goals. If we constantly put our goals off, we will never see them fulfilled.
- Live only for tomorrow, and you will have a lot of empty yesterdays today.
- God gave us memories that we might have June roses in the December of our lives.
- It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
- Friendships, we know, may alter and change, but the Lord is constant.
- Our actions are preceded by our thoughts.
- Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees.
- A man never stands taller than when he is upon his knees.
Gordon B. Hinckley -Slow to Anger
- He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty.
- It is when we become angry that we get into trouble.
- Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
- Anger is the mother of a whole brood of evil actions.
- Once a ma who had been slandered by a newspaper came to Edward Everett asking what to do about it. Said Everett, "Do nothing! Half the people who bought the newspaper never saw the article. Half of those who saw it, did not read it. Half of those who read it, did not understand it. Half of those who believed it are of no account anyway."
- Happy is the man who can brush aside the offending remarks of another and go on his way.
- Control your tempers. Put a smile upon your faces, which will erase anger; speak out with words of love and peace, appreciation, and respect. If you will do this, your lives will be without regret.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
-Sarnic Dirchi
