It’s your reaction to adversity, not adversity itself that determines how your life’s story will develop.

Healing comes when we choose to walk away from the darkness and move towards a brighter light.

The Savior can wipe away our tears of regret.

There is enough heartache and sorrow in this life without our adding to it through our own stubbornness, bitterness, and resentment.

Life is not only meant to be appreciated in retrospect. There is something each day to embrace and cherish.

In family relationships, love is really spelled T.I.M.E.

Or thinking that after paying rent for our home, we now hold title to the entire planet earth.
