Motivation

Life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured.” ~President Gordon B. Hinckley ~


You pile up enough tomorrows, and you'll find you've collected a lot of empty yesterdays.” ~ Harold Hill~

If you delay till to-morrow what ought to be done to-day, you overcharge the morrow with a burden which belongs not to it. You load the wheels of time, and prevent it from carrying you along smoothly. He who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows out the plan, carries on a thread which will guide him through the labyrinth of the most busy life. The orderly arrangement of his time is like a ray of light which darts itself through all his affairs. But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incidents, all things lie huddled together in one chaos, which admits neither of distribution nor review.” ~ Hugh Blair ~

A life lived in fear is a life half-lived.” ~Fran~

You do not find the happy life – you make it.” ~President Thomas S. Monson ~
  

Fear of change keeps the individual from seeing problems as they truly are and from creating effective ways to solve them. It seems much easier to rely on the old familiar but nonproductive ways than to risk creating new ways to cope with recurring problem situations.” ~Jonathan M. Chamberlain~


Carpe Diem. Seize the day.


Wherefore, the Lord God gave unto man that he should act for himself....” 2 Nephi 2:16


Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person.” ~Dr. David M. Burns~


Those who act, win; those who react, lose.” ~Morgan Wootten~


Acting involves making a choice. Reacting means someone else is making the choices.” ~Tim Kopperud~


Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.” ~Carol Burnett~


Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
