• Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think. So start each day by thinking of all the things you have to be thankful for. Your future will depend very largely on the thoughts you think today. So think thoughts of hope and confidence and love and success.

• Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go, non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness practice. You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in giving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can give yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, or some time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough to accept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, and from the universe.

• God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, but we are not. Each day, ours is the challenge to access the power of the Atonement so that we can truly change, become more Christlike, and qualify for the gift of exaltation and live eternally with God, Jesus Christ, and our families. For these powers, privileges, and gospel gifts, thanks be to God!

• Is there some meaning to this life?
  What purpose lies behind the strife?
  Whence do we come, where are we bound?
  These cold questions echo and resound
  through each day, each lonely night.
  We long to find the splendid light
  that will cast a revelatory beam
  upon the meaning of the human dream.
  Courage, love, friendship,
  compassion, and empathy
  lift us above the simple beasts
  and define humanity.

• You know a dream is like a river
  Ever changing as it flows.
  And a dreamer's just a vessel
  That must follow where it goes.
  Trying to learn from what's behind you
  And never knowing what's in store
  Makes each day a constant battle
  Just to stay between the shores.

  Garth Brooks

• Death can come at any moment. You could die this afternoon; you could die tomorrow morning; you could die on your way to work; you could die in your sleep. Most of us try to avoid the sense that death can come at any time, but its timing is unknown to us. Can we live each day as if it were our last? Can we relate to one another as if there were no tomorrow?
