Victory cannot come by default

“…May we ever remember that we do not go forth alone to battle the Goliaths of our lives. As David declared to Israel, so might we echo the knowledge, ‘The battle is the Lord’s, and he will give Goliath into our hands.’ But the battle must be fought. Victory cannot come by default.”

Thomas S. Monson

"Mock your children as they struggle and they will learn to never share their struggles with you."

God is fully aware that you and I are not perfect. Let me add: God is also fully aware that the people you think are perfect are not. And yet we spend so much time and energy comparing ourselves to others—usually comparing our weaknesses to their strengths. This drives us to create expectations for ourselves that are impossible to meet. As a result, we never celebrate our good efforts because they seem to be less than what someone else does.

 

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

 

"Comparison to others is a brutal assault upon oneself."

 

 

"Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you."

 

 Mother Teresa.

 

You can't reach for anything new if your hands are still full of yesterdays junk.

 

You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep rereading the last one.

 

 

Today I shall behave as if this is the day I will be remembered.
