A tiny steel cable, an Italian floor lamp, and a fifty-year-old General Conference talk remind me that losing our balance doesn't mean losing our purpose.

There is still so much good in the world—in a neighbor’s kindness, a child’s laughter, and the quiet hope Jesus Christ brings. A joyful reminder to notice life’s blessings and brighten someone else’s day.

Success is not usually found inside the comfort zone. Success is found just beyond it, where your excuses start getting loud, where your body starts arguing with your spirit, and where you have to decide what kind of person you really intend to become.

We cannot give light while quietly burning ourselves out. Sometimes helping others begins by staying close to Jesus Christ.

Faith is a lot like bread. It takes simple ingredients; pressure; waiting; heat; and trust. Most of us want the finished loaf. God is usually working with the dough.
