"The condition of our hearts directly affects our sensitivity to spiritual things. Let us make it a part of our everyday striving to open our hearts to the Spirit. Since we are the guardians of our hearts, we can choose to do so. We choose what we let in or hold out. Fortunately the Lord is anxious to help us choose wisely. ...carefully assessing the condition of our hearts is one of the most essential things we can do in this life. ...Agency is so sacred to the Lord that He allows us to be the guardian, or gate keepers, of our own hearts. We must...open our hearts to the Spirit. While none of our hearts are perfect, the more we strive to eliminate impurity...the more we open our hearts to the Holy Spirit..and feast upon His love."
Ensign 5/08 "Opening Our Hearts" Elder Gerald Lund

Tiny Changes and the Will to Be
I read this quote yesterday...
"Wrest happiness from the daily hard stuff of our challenging and sometimes disappointing lives. Build it into the repetitive, painful and discouraging moments. It is tiny changes of feelings and methods, knowledge and attitudes, and the will to be and feel in better ways."
Oh how I was in need of this quote...to remember...the power of our mind, thoughts and feelings.
By small and simple things...are great things brought to pass!
