“Take risks! That is really what life is about. We must pursue our own happiness. Nobody has ever lived our lives; ther are no guidelines. Trust your instincts. Accept nothing but the best. But then also look for it carefully. Don't allow it to slip between your fingers. Sometimes, good things come to us in a such a quiet fashion. And nothing comes complete. It is what we make of whatever we encounter that determines the outcome. What we choose to see, what we choose to save. And what we choose to remember. Never foget that all the love in your life is there, inside you, always.” LooksSometimesRememberLife IsAcceptingOur LivesRiskFashionQuietGood ThingsInstinctFingersDeterminePursueOutcomesEncountersSlipsGuidelinesTrust Your Instincts Author:Linda Olsson
“The unphilosophical and philosophical attitudes can be very sharply distinguished (with scarcely any intermediate forms) by the fact that the first accepts everything that happens as regards its general form, and finds occasion for surprise only in that special content by which something that happens here today differs from what happened there yesterday; whereas for the second, it is precisely the common features of all experience, such as characterise everything we encounter, which are the primary and most profound occasion for astonishment.” FirstsFactsHappensTodayFormCommonAttitudeAcceptingHappenedSpecialPhilosophicalRegardSurpriseProfoundYesterdayOccasionsPrimariesFeaturesEncountersDistinguishedAstonishment Author:Erwin Schrodinger
“All wars derive from lack of empathy: the incapacity of one to understand and accept the likeness or difference of another. Whether in nations or the encounters of race and sex, competition then replaces compassion, subjection excludes mutuality.” WarNationsSexDifferencesRaceCompassionAcceptingEmpathyCompetitionEncountersSubjectionIncapacityLack Of Empathy Author:Marya Mannes
“It is difficult to look at any newborn baby and accept that he or she will necessarily encounter pain, challenges, disappointments, and hardships in life. Yet even the Savior needed to "go forth, suffering pains and afflictions . . . of every kind" (Alma 7:11), the only difference being that Jesus, though tempted, did not sin (Hebrews 4:15; see also D&C 45:4). Even harder to comprehend, however, was how that precious Babe of Bethlehem, whose birth we celebrate each Christmas, would one day bear the weight not only of our sins but also all our infirmities.” LooksKindPainSufferingJesusDifficultChallengesDifferencesSinAcceptingBabyBearsBirthNeededOne DayWeightHarderDisappointmentCelebrateEncountersHardshipSaviorAfflictionTemptedBabeHebrewNewbornInfirmityBethlehemNewborn BabySuffering Pain Author:Eric D.
