If you don’t get anything else from this first episode, I hope you will take away this point. Trust yourself and follow those persistent promptings. They are guaranteed to lead you to good things.

The Best Possible Way

…the best possible way to prepare for tomorrow is to concentrate with all your intelligence, all your enthusiasm, on doing today’s work superbly today. That is the only possible way you can prepare for the future. ~ Dale Carnegie

Go With A Twinkle

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, and forever and always be loyal to the church. Never forget that you came to earth as a child of the divine Father with something of divinity in your very makeup. ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

Persistence and Determination

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. ~ Calvin Coolidge

Get The Inside Right

If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. ~ Eckhart Tolle

The Past Can Hurt

Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it. ~ Rafiki (The Lion King)

Their Story…

As we consider the pressing calls of those who need our help, let’s ask ourselves: what if their story were my story? ~ Linda K. Burton

The Lonely Ache

353

The lonely ache is here again
It likes to strike in the wee AM
Ghosts of loved ones haunt my mind
Some living, some dead, all removed by time
The deep ache hurts but pain tinges sweet
With memories renewed in each heart beat.
A pang of longing for special guests.
Who now only remain in my lonely breast.
It’s a paradox to have a heart so full
Yet also empty with this pain so dull.
And I wait once more for the sun to rise.
To renew my soul and dry my eyes.
