"Both abundance and lack of abundance exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend. When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present ~ love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us happiness ~ the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth." Thomas S. Monson
"If you understand the great plan of happiness and follow it, what goes on in the world will not determine your happiness." ~Boyd K. Packer
"That which we obtain too easily, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value." ~Thomas Paine
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." ~Emerson
"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. Her beauty is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and with passing years only grows!" ...anonymous
"A home is much more than a house built of lumber, brick, or stone. A home is made of love, sacrifice, and respect. We are responsible for the homes we build. We must build wisely, for eternity is not a short voyage." Thomas S. Monson
Self-esteem is never built upon anything having to do with self. It is wholly, absorbingly other-centered.
