So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference.

It is not enough to want to make the effort and to say we'll make the effort. We must actually make the effort. It's in the doing, not just the thinking, that we accomplish our goals. If we constantly put our goals off, we will never see them fulfilled. Someone put it this way: Live only for tomorrow, and you will have a lot of empty yesterdays today.

There are lives to brighten. There are hearts to touch. There are souls to save.

Do we have a guide to help us choose the right and avoid dangerous detours? I have tried to pattern my life after the Master. Whenever I have a difficult decision to make, I have looked at that picture and asked myself, "What would He do?" Then I try to do it. We can never go wrong when we choose to follow the Savior.

Wonderful, glorious things are in store for you if you will only believe, obey, and endure.

Remember to pray fervently.

May we be people of honesty and integrity trying to do the right thing at all times and in all circumstances.
