Look for the Sunlight through the Clouds

 (Another oldie but goodie photograph I found from yesteryear)

"Look for the sunlight through the clouds.  Opportunities will eventually open to you." ~ Gordon B. Hinkley

 and...

"Every one of us has a potential we can scarcely imagine." ~ Joseph B. Wirthlin

These two quotes almost have a fortune cookie feel to them.  That burst of sunshine that brings hope.  You wonder if they're at all meant for you, or maybe these cookies were meant for someone else?  Even so, it's good to be hopeful.  Why not believe good is around the corner?  That there is sunshine after rain?  Sun behind the clouds?  And we can find the sun.

We all have potential.  Vast, great potential.  Maybe you've realized yours.  Maybe you're still discovering.  But I believe we all have untapped opportunities and talents buried within us all.  It's not something to be overwhelmed by, but to be excitedly discovered.  We all have buried treasure to seek, dig, refine, and purify.  Isn't that exciting?  Ha!  I'm going treasure hunting.

Happy digging!

The future is bright and beautiful. 

Brush Off Offending Remarks

"Happy is the man who can brush aside the offending remarks of another and go on his way."

~ Gordon B. Hinkley

 

This Life Is Pretty Amazing

"You can be excellent in every way. You can be first class. There is no need for you to be a scrub. Respect yourself. Do not feel sorry for yourself. Do not dwell on unkind things others may say about you. Polish and refine whatever talents the Lord has given you. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, but with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life and look for its opportunities." ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

This sentiment is good to remember.

It is so easy to become caught up in life's chaos. Let us focus on what's important, truly important.  Let us never forget how blessed we are.  Even when life gives us hardships we still have so much to be thankful.  I have so much to be thankful.  So much to give.  So much to embrace.

This life is pretty amazing.
