Don’t Be Gloomy

Don’t be gloomy. Do not dwell on unkind things. Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. Even if you are not happy, put a smile on your face. ‘Accentuate the positive.’ Look a little deeper for the good. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life. ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

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.

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

Let Faith Exceed Our Fears

287

What I am suggesting is that each of us turn from the negativism that permeates our society and look for the remarkable good among those with whom we associate, that we speak of one another’s virtues more than we speak of one another’s faults, that optimism replace pessimism, that our faith exceed our fears. ~ Gordon B. Hinckley
