For the Holy Ghost blesses us with optimism and wisdom at times of challenge that we simply cannot muster on our own.

Am I the woman I think I am, the woman I want to be? More importantly, am I the woman the Savior needs me to be?

Look to the Lord and not to the world for your ideas and ideals about men and women.

Think about what there is to learn from your heritage, good and bad, and about what you want to cultivate and not cultivate.

Faith is a principle of action. It is our willingness to believe in the Savior that unleashes His power in our lives. Faith is not a bulwark against tribulation, but an assurance that the Lord is overseeing all.

There is one thing the power of God and the power of Satan have in common: Neither can influence us unless we allow them to.

If we don't do as well as we know how and we are prepared to do, it'll be largely because we act and make choices as though we're going to stay here, as though this life is all there is, when that is not the case.
