01Undated

I challenge you to make your life the masterpiece you want to paint, the novel you want to read, the day you want to wake to.

Toni Sorenson / quote

02Undated

The human spirit carries a torch called hope.

Toni Sorenson / quote

↗

03Undated

Let go and let God. Don’t dwell on your past mistakes. When you do that, your past keeps you from moving forward. The wonder of the Atonement is that you don’t have to be the same person you were yesterday, last year or even a minute ago. Through Christ, and through the power of repentance, you are continually being reborn.

04Undated

Inevitably, mistakes are going to happen, sin is going to win a round or two in the battle of life, but there is always, always, always a way back because Jesus Christ has our backs.

08Undated

An attitude adjustment from the inside out is what it will take to get you to change direction. The truth is God is on your side, no matter how far you’ve wandered. He still loves you. He still needs you. Your sins don’t define you. He does.

09Undated

Life isn’t about being perfect; it’s about improving. It’s not about achieving more, acquiring more, or even about actually being more. It’s about becoming better…better than you were.

Toni Sorenson / quote

↗

10Undated

You’re a child of God. You don’t need to ever struggle with feelings of inferiority or defeat. You might make mistakes and find yourself off the straight and narrow path from time to time. No fears. No despair. Just turn around in the road and head back toward home. I promise you that Christ will be your willing guide.

11Undated

To step into God’s will is a step into a different realm, even though your feet remain on firma terra.

Toni Sorenson / quote

↗

12Undated

Are you aware of who you really are in relationship to the very God who created the Universe, who scattered the stars and aligned the planets? Only to those who remember and realize that they are literally spirit children of a God who knows and loves them, can the fire of refinement be welcome. Otherwise, pain and adversity are just that, pain and adversity. Fire doesn’t purify; it only burns.

Toni Sorenson / quote

13Undated

We are spiritual children of God the Father. We preach it. We sing it. But do we really understand it? Sometimes it’s easy to tell others they are loved, but not so easy to believe it of ourselves — not because we don’t think God loves His children, but because we may feel undeserving of His love. The adversary loves to remind us who we are not. Not pretty. Not smart. Not strong. But God would not have sacrificed His Son to save us if we aren’t worth saving.

Strength comes from struggle. When you learn to see your struggles as opportunities to become stronger, better, wiser, then your thinking shifts from "I can't do this" to "I must do this.

Toni Sorenson / quote

16Undated

You alone have the power to determine your value. Don’t let somebody else paste a discount sticker on you. You’re priceless.

Toni Sorenson / quote

↗

17Undated

If you have a painting in you, paint. If you have a song to sing, sing. Don’t judge your creation. Just create it. Banish doubt and fear and step out of your own way if you have to. Write if you’re a writer and invent if you’re an inventor. Do what you were born to do. Only then will you know a remarkable life.

Toni Sorenson / quote

18Undated

Today is a gift that will be taken from you at day's end. Don't waste a moment, a chance, a lesson. You'll never live today again.

Toni Sorenson / quote

19Undated

Success goes to the ones who do. Get up. Show up. Throw up if you have to. Do it afraid, but do it no matter.

Toni Sorenson / quote

20Undated

How we feel is not who we are. We might feel like failures, but as long as we are still trying, we are not failures. We are works in progress.
