Of Regrets and Resolutions

The more we devote ourselves to the pursuit of holiness and happiness, the less likely we will be on a path to regrets.

- Let us resolve to cherish those we love by spending meaningful time with them, doing things together, and cultivating treasured memories.


Our Heavenly Father sees our real potential. He knows things about us that we do not know ourselves. He prompts us during our lifetime to fulfill the measure of our creation, to live a good life, and to return to His presence.
When it comes to living the gospel, we should not be like the boy who dipped his toe in the water and then claimed he went swimming. As sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father, we are capable of so much more. For that, good intentions are not enough. We must do. Even more important, we must become what Heavenly Father wants us to be.

You and I are ultimately in charge of our own happiness.
... no matter our circumstances, no matter our challenges or trials.... There is something in each day that can bring gratitude and joy if only we will see and appreciate it.
Perhaps we should be looking less with our eyes and more with our hearts.
 
 
... many of the deepest regrets of tomorrow can be prevented by following the Savior today."
