Good thoughts!

Loving these quotes this week!! It is so true life typically is not completely blissful and happy, and happiness is found in being grateful for all the imperfections in life. 

I love this quote! In the last several years my imperfections have been on display in grand ways. Initially, my self esteem took a hit because I held so tightly to living "perfectly" or at least appearing to live perfectly.  It was always stressful to be perfect. A great blessing among many others that I have gained on this path is - 

IT'S OKAY to NOT BE PERFECT!  In accepting that and being open about my imperfections - I have felt more confident and more people than ever have expressed admiration for how I cope with and carry myself thru the struggles of my life. 

I love the quote below by Dallin H. Oaks.

Every morning at school the 6th graders recite: 

"I am in control of my behavior. 

My consequences are determined by my actions. 

I improve my life by improving my behavior. 

I will succeed." 

I love it! It is true- our desires - what we want most - determine our choices and our actions. Our ACTIONS determine our consequences - good or bad! It is true in my life - it is true in everyone's life!
