"
We should not allow our personal values to erode, even if others think we are peculiar. "--President James E. Faust

I Believe

I believe
that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe
that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in awhile and you must forgive them for that.

I believe
that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I believe
that it is taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I believe
that you should always leave loved ones with kind words. It may be the last time you see them.

I believe
that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I believe
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe
that sometimes when I am angry, I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I believe
that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe
that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe
that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I believe
that life is more precious than money will ever be able to be.

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

-Audrey Hepburn


Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.


"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
