The many hours I have spent listening to the tribulations of men and women have persuaded me that both happiness and unhappiness are much of our own making.
-Pres.Faust Our Search for Happiness
'Few sculpt their lives. Most accept what comes their way and then gripe about it. You have the power to create what you need. Commitment, action and positive thoughts will take you a long way'
-Susan Jeffers
I love these quotes! They remind me that I am in control. Whether I act or react is all my choice. We have so much more power than we give ourselves credit for. When we combine that power with a relationship with our Heavenly Father we can be unstoppable!!
So many times we stand on the sidelines waiting to play when we just need to jump in and show ourselves and the world what we've got. What we're made of. Anyways, I was just thinking about that today.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Marianne Williamson
