“Cultivate an attitude of happiness. Cultivate a spirit of optimism. Walk with faith, rejoicing in the beauties of nature, in the goodness of those you love, in the testimony which you carry in your heart concerning things divine.”
― Gordon B. Hinckley


Cultivate
       An attitude of Happiness.

Cultivate
       A spirit of Optimism.

Walk
  with
    Faith,

Rejoicing!

     In the beauties of nature,
        In the goodness of those you
            Love,

    In
the testimony which you carry
      In
your heart concerning things
        Divine.

-Gordon B. Hinckley


“Opposition turns up almost anyplace something good has happened. It can happen when you are trying to get an education. It can hit you after your first month in your new mission field. It certainly happens in matters of love and marriage. … There are cautions and considerations to make, but once there has been genuine illumination, beware the temptation to retreat from a good thing. If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it is right now. Don’t give up when the pressure mounts. … Face your doubts. Master your fears. ‘Cast not away therefore your confidence.’ Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you.” -Jeffrey R. Holland



Opposition
  turns up almost anyplace something
     Good
        has happened.

It can happen
 when you're trying
     to get an education.

It can hit you
  after your first month
    in your new mission field.

It certainly
       happens
            in matters of
     Love
        and
Marriage.

There are
       cautions,
            considerations to make.

But.
Once there has been a
   Genuine illumination

Beware!
  the temptation to
    retreat from a good thing.

If
it was
    right
when you
    prayed about it,
and
  Trusted it.
and
   Lived for it.

It.
  is.
    right.
      now.

Don't give up
   when the pressure mounts.

Face
  your doubts.
Master
  your fears.

'Cast not away therefore your
     confidence'

Stay the course,
  See the beauty of life unfold for
   You.

-Jeffrey R. Holland
