Smiling When It's Raining

"I like people who smile when it's raining" 

Those are the people you want to be around, the ones who look for the silver lining to the cloud and wait for the rainbow to come - because it will:)

The World is Still a Beautiful Place

“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.”

― Kurt Vonnegut

A Beautiful Place

"Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal away your sweetness. Take pride that even though the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place."
~Kurt Vonnegut

Find the Gift

When a person can find the gift within the trial, then the trial will have served its purpose. It's when we flounder through the same type of trial over and over and never learn anything, never find the gift, that we keep going through the same, seemingly fruitless struggles.

How to Make our Troubles Disappear

"I have now lived long enough to know that, whatever our situation, our troubles melt and disappear like frost in the morning sun when we dwell upon our blessings rather than our disappointments. No matter how pessimistic one's view may become of the times and the seasons, we can always fall back on special friendship, on faithful, personal love, and on simple, true dealings in our own personal lives." 

~James E. Faust~

Events

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.

Life is like a camera...

Life is like a camera: focus on what’s important, capture the good times, & develop from the negatives.

Similarities in Trials

“We need strength beyond ourselves to keep the commandments in whatever circumstance life brings to us. … The combination of trials and their duration are as varied as are the children of our Heavenly Father. No two are alike. But what is being tested is the same, at all times in our lives and for every person: will we do whatsoever the Lord our God will command us?” 

~Henry B. Eyring~
