Behind me is infinite power. Before me is endless possibility. Around me is boundless opportunity. Why should I fear?

Holy Grail
Today I heard Timothy Morge the President of Marketgeometery say this:
"If there is a holy grail in trading its hardwork and perseverence."
He said this about trading, but I think it has meaning in other aspects of life as well.

Martin Luthor King Jr.
Today I heard a quote by Martin Luthor King Jr. that I liked.
"Faith is the fist step, even though you can't see the staircase."
It was something like that, anyway the point is that in anything we do we first need to have faith that it will work out.

Deodorant
Deodorant
Have you guys ever noticed how deodorant seems to always wear out? And you always have to go get some more?
Well, what if that isn’t the only thing that wears out? What if each of us has a certain amount of spiritual strength?
So, how can we get more spiritual strength? What if each of us encourages each other? What if each of us says something nice to those around us?
Wouldn’t that give us more spiritual strength? And wouldn’t that strength our society?

Sister Kimbal
Last night at my meeting one of my friends gave us this quote by Sister Kimbal (The wife of one of the Presidents of the church)
It says "Never opress a generous thought"-Sister Kimbal
This quote was given to us in reference to giving service no matter what the situation.
I think if each of us would not oppress the generous thoughts we have then this would be a better world.

Letters
This just occurred to me to me yesterday. Saturday night we had a sudden tragic death happen in our family. So, Sunday I was wondering what I could do to help comfort them and the thought hit me to write them a letter of encouragement.
So, today I’d like to suggest that letters can bring amazing encouragement. Words are powerful, they can lift or bring down, and words in the form of a letter that people can keep with them for years can be a source of great strength.

Brett N. Steenbarger
Brett N Steenbarger is an athur, I've mentioned once or twice.
He writes books geared to traders. Ealier today I was reading another book of his titled The Psychology of Trading: Tools and Techniques for Minding the Markets and came this quote.
"Identify your greatest fears and face them as directly as possible, so that you find out they are not as powerful as they seemed."-Brett N. Steenbarger.
We are all afraid of things and this is a good solution to over coming our fears, because our fears are never as bad as they seem.
We make them out to be horrible, but when we finally face our fears we discover that they aren't so bad.
Getting rid of our fears one by one, will make us a stronger people and will allow us to strengthen others.

Emma Watson
I saw this on facebook, on a friends status, and thought it might help some of the ladies out there.
Modest is Hottest, Ladies. "I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder. - Emma Watson

What is success?
I was thinking about what I really wanted to accomplish in my life, and a question popped into my head. What is success?
I really believe that one way for us to gain strength and share that strength, is to focus on what we want to get out of life.
For example, if you really want to make a lot of money, then you should focus on that. If you really want to be a great teacher, you should focus on that.
If we focus all our energy on figuring out the best and most efficient way to ccreate success in our lives, we will end up throwing out of other stuff that doesn't matter out.
And then we can gain strength in the right ways and be able to share that strength with others.

Pain
One of my friends said this about pain and I think it is very encouraging.
