“Faith is not a theological platitude. It is a fact of life. Faith can become the very wellspring of purposeful living. There is no more compelling motivation to worthwhile endeavor than the knowledge that we are children of God, the Creator of the universe, our all-wise Heavenly Father! God expects us to do something with our lives, and he will give us help when help is sought.” ~President Gordon B. Hinckley

“You need time to meditate and ponder, to think, to wonder at the great plan of happiness that the Lord has outlined for His children. You need to read the scriptures…I heard President David O. McKay say to the members of the Twelve on one occasion, ‘Brethren, we do not spend enough time in meditation.'”
~President Gordon B. Hinckley
“The Lord’s tender mercies are the very personal and individualized blessings, strength, protection, assurances, guidance, loving-kindnesses, consolation, support, and spiritual gifts which we receive from and because of and through the Lord Jesus Christ…The Lord’s tender mercies do not occur randomly or merely by coincidence. Faithfulness, obedience, and humility invite tender mercies into our lives, and it is often the Lord’s timing that enables us to recognize and treasure these important blessings.”
~Elder David A. Bednar

“The Vision that you glorify in your mind, the Ideal that you enthrone in your heart-this you will build your life by, this you will become.”
James Allen (1864-1912)
The above principle, which others have called “The Secret” or the “Law of Attraction,” was clearly stated for the first time in “As a Man Thinketh” by James Allen.
As A Man Thinketh by James Allen. Buy it here.In “As a Man Thinketh,” James Allen reveals how our thoughts determine reality. Whether we are conscious of it or not, our underlying beliefs shape our character, our appearance and health, our circumstances, and our destinies. Allen teaches us how we can master our thoughts to create the life we want.
My advice is this simple: Buy it, read it, live it, love it.
Yes, it truly is that great.
Every noble impulse, every unselfish expression of love, every brave suffering for the right; every surrender of self to something higher than self; every loyalty to an ideal; every unselfish devotion to principle; every helpfulness to humanity; every act of self-control; every fine courage of the soul, undefeated by pretense or policy, but by being, doing, and living of good for the very good’s sake–that is spirituality.
David O. McKay
