march fo{u}rth 2008

Today is March Fo{u}rth!

Let's march fo{u}rth today by setting goals to become better people each day. Here are a couple of quotes that I found about setting goals and marching fo{u}rth that I love.

"Life offers many challenges. Go forward worthily and with faith. The Lord will make you equal to every righteous task.....Let us go forth like the armies of Helaman and build the kingdom of God. Like the royal army, let us be “united, bold, and strong, … marching forth to conquer on life’s great battlefield” (see Hymns, no. 251). All of these hopes, blessings, and opportunities will come to us if we will only believe and be not afraid." -James E. Faust“Don’t Be Afraid,” New Era, Jul 1998, 4

"I am so thoroughly convinced that if we don’t set goals in our life and learn how to master the technique of living to reach our goals, we can reach a ripe old age and look back on our life only to see that we reached but a small part of our full potential. When you learn to master the principle of setting a goal, you will then be able to make a great difference in the results you attain in this life." -M. Russell Ballard“Go for It!,” New Era, Mar 2004, 4
