Destiny




"Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the keys to my destiny."-Elaine Maxwell

How great thou art


When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty mountain granduer,
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze,
(How great thou art- a hymn)

Happiness

“Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God” -Joseph Smith

Service


Service is to be given unselfishly, with no thought of personal gain or reward. It is to be given as needed, not when convenient. Opportunities to serve may not always seem obvious, as it is human nature to worry about our own wants and needs. We must resist such tendencies and look for opportunities to serve.

Gratitude





"Gratitude is a mark of a noble soul and a refined character. We like to be around those who are grateful. They tend to brighten all around them.They make others feel better about themselves. They tend to be more humble, more joyful, more likable."


-Joseph B. Wirthlin
