Anything and anyone that does not help you to become the best version of yourself is too small for you.

Thought determines action. Do not let your whole life be a reaction to the things that happen around you each day. Let your life be an action.

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. Hope is one of those things that you can't buy, but that will be freely given to you if you ask. Hope is the one thing people cannot live without. Hope is a thing of beauty.

God does not want to control you, or stifle you, or manipulate you, or force you to do anything you don't want to do. Quite the opposite. God will let you do whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it, with whomever you want to do it, and as often as you want to do it. When was the last time God stopped you from doing anything?

The message delivered with unrelenting enthusiasm by our culture is, 'You can be happy without discipline. Do whatever you feel like doing and you will be happy!' While the Church says, 'You cannot be happy without discipline In fact, discipline is the path to happiness!'

Character is built little by little, over days, weeks, months, and years, with thousands of small and seemingly insignificant acts of discipline.

If you don't have time to pray and read the scriptures, you are busier than God ever intended you to be.
