When we can reduce a goal to one clear image or one or two powerful and\nsymbolic words, that goal can then become part of us and guide virtually\neverything we think and do.\u201d -Russell\nBallard<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn\nreality, it is much easier to be \u201call in\u201d than partially in. When we are\npartially in or not in at all, there is, in the Star Wars<\/em> vernacular,\n\u201ca disturbance in the force.\u201d We are out of sync with God\u2019s will and therefore\nout of sync with the nature of happiness.\u201d \n– Gary B. Sabin<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTwo\nessential ingrediants for a happy marriage are a cookie and a kiss.\u201d -Boyd\nPacker<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe family that prays together is together, even when\nthey are far apart.\u201d \u2013 Henry B. Eyring<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe best teacher is a good role model.\u201d \u2013 Ulisses Soares<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen we seek to\ncomplete and not compete, it is so much easier to cheer each other on.\u201d -Linda\nBurton<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTake an inventory of how you spend your time and where\nyou devote your energy. That will tell you where your heart is.\u201d \u2013Russell M.\nNelson<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Each of us is a child of God with a potential destiny of eternal life. Every other label, even including occupation, race, physical characteristics or honors, is temporary or trivial in eternal terms. Don\u2019t choose to label yourselves or think of yourselves in terms that put a limit on a goal for which you might strive.\u201d – Dallin H. Oaks<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can you see why I love the talks so much?! They are always so inspiring and they really help you get out from yourself and see things in a broader, more eternal, perspective. We all need tools to help us keep things in perspective and this conference is one tool I couldn\u2019t succeed without. Watch for yourself and you’ll see what I mean #worthit<\/p>\n\n\n\n Happy watching! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
