Being a parent is hard work! I love this inspirational quote and find it to be very uplifting, giving hope to all of us. This motivational thought helps me realize that I won’t be perfect and that’s okay. I hope you enjoy pondering this parenting thought for the week.

“I know that being a parent is the most difficult job and some days can be discouraging, but there are also those incredible moments of tremendous joy. I have 5 children with only 2 left at home and have gained a new appreciation for the power and insights the scriptures offer parents. What would Alma or Moroni or Hannah tell us if we asked them how to be a good parent? In “Parenting With Spiritual Power,” I examine the lives of parents in the scriptures as real people who struggled like us, but left behind great examples.  We won’t be perfect, and neither were they, but they may just inspire us with hope to do a little better each day.“

–Julie K. Nelson, author of Parenting with Spiritual Power

Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.

–C. Archie Danielson

I love this! I think you must have equal parts of intelligence and ambition to achieve your goals and sometimes the ambition is even more important during the journey.

I hope you’ve had a fabulous May–I can’t believe we’re already heading into June. I have some fun things planned for summer, like reading lots of book, 4H, yard work, hopefully a garden, and a couple of day trips with the family.

What are your summer plans?

Don’t Worry.

Be Happy.

Now do you have a song in your head?

Do any of you have a worrier in your family? My daughter can be quite the worrywart. She worries about EVERYTHING and has an imagination to sustain the worry.

Some people tend to show more worry and anxiety, so how do you let go of that and just be happy? It’s easier said than done, but this inspirational thought is simple–don’t worry. Be happy.

What a great inspirational quote! It’s always hard to allow the growth process to happen and not become impatient while doing so. This inspirational thought gives a lot to think about and I especially love that last idea.

Don’t rush the future. There is a process that seeds must go through in order to become all they are destined to become, and you must go through this same process to become the person you are meant to be and do the work you are meant to do. You may want things to happen NOW but more than likely if you got what you wanted NOW you wouldn’t be ready for it. The purpose process prepares you, strengthens you, shapes you and grows you to be successful, not in your time, but in the right time.

We can’t always choose where we end up in life or what our circumstances are, but we can choose how we face them. This inspirational quote speaks to the soul and gives much hope to the heart. What inspirational thoughts get you through hard times?

I find that it is not the circumstances in which we are placed, but the spirit in which we face them, that constitutes our comfort.

This inspirational quote is from my author friend, Donna Hatch. Writing is such an obsession and these types of inspirational thoughts motivate me. What thoughts inspire you?

“If you write because you can’t not write, then keep writing and never stop. Believe in yourself. Somewhere, a reader out there will like your voice and what you have to say. If you’d write even if no one paid you, then you’re a real writer. There’s no price tag on passion.” –Donna Hatch
