“Don’t be concerned with what you can’t do. Work on what you can do – then count your blessings.”

I didn’t know much about my Native American ancestry, but as I got older I became more interested in it.

A small beginning that must be nurtured, developed, engineer, tinkered with, championed, tested, implemented and checked ideas have no value until they are implemented.

Every improvement or innovation begins with an idea. But an idea is only a possibility.

Without the ability to get new ideas, an organization stagnates and declines and will eventually be eliminated by competitors who do have fresh ideas.

Ideas are the engines of progress. They improve people’s lives by creating better ways to do things. They build and grow successful organizations and keep them healthy and prosperous.

The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places . . . He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

Know that every breath is a miracle and every moment a blessing and you will achieve your dreams.

How do you change your behavior? Change what you worship

By assigning our women to do visiting teaching, we give them the opportunity to develop the pure love of Christ, which can be the greatest blessing of their lives.

Human feeling is like the mighty rivers that bless the earth: it does not wait for beauty – it flows with resistless force and brings beauty with it.

I will pray, therefore, for blessings on my friends, even though they cease to be so, and upon my enemies, though they continue such.

A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.
