willingness to swim upstream

Image
  My dear friend shared this image with me...it reminded me of a quote that I've been relating to lately but when I first heard it I didn't quite understand. "You cannot just float in the waters of life and trust that the current will take you wherever you hope to be one day.  Discipleship requires our willingness to swim upstream when needed." -Dieter F. Uchtdorf

keep on paddling...

                                                    "To move upstream toward our eternal goal, we must constantly keep paddling.  It helps if we are part of a team that is paddling together." -Dallin H. Oaks

live well Today

  "Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow is only a vision.  But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope." -Kalidasa This quote has been on my mind a lot lately.  Some days life feels overwhelming and other days, even amidst hard things, can be so joyful.  I love how this quote emphasizes the importance of today.  It's so true, the choices of today affect the way we see the past and how we look to the future.
