More From Neal A. Maxwell

To make positive change requires lasting commitment, lasting commitment requires measurable targets, measurable targets requires detailed action plans, detailed action plans requires a goal you desire, desire requires a positive attitude to change your life, and the option to change your life requires work. byron pulsifer, from nothing ventured, nothing gained if you deny yourself commitment, what can you do with your life?
Attitude Commitment Goal
We must work on our souls, enlarging and expanding them. we do so by experiencing all of life-the beauty and the joy as well as the grief and pain. soul work requires paying attention to life, to the laughter and the sorrow, the enlightening and the frightening, the inspiring and the silly.
Pain Laughter Silly

Though collecting quotations could be considered as merely an ironic mimetism -- victimless collecting, as it were... in a world that is well on its way to becoming one vast quarry, the collector becomes someone engaged in a pious work of salvage. the course of modern history having already sapped the traditions and shattered the living wholes in which precious objects once found their place, the collector may now in good conscience go about excavating the choicer, more emblematic fragments.

Our goals should stretch us bit by bit. so often when we think we have encountered a ceiling, it is really a psychological or experimental barrier that we have built ourselves. we built it and we can remove it. just as correct principles, when applied, carry their own witness that they are true, so do correct personal improvement programs. but we must not expect personal improvement without pain or some 'remodeling.' we can't expect to have the thrills of revealed religion without the theology. we cannot expect to have the soul stretching without christian service.
Christian Pain Thinking
I call the light and high aspects of my being spirit and the dark and heavy aspects soul. soul is at home in the deep, shaded valleys. heavy torpid flowers saturated with black grow there. the rivers flow like warm syrup. they empty into huge oceans of soul. spirit is a land of high white peaks and glittering jewel-like lakes and flowers. life is sparse and sounds travel great distances. there is soul music, soul food, and soul love... people need to climb the mountain not simple because it is there but because the soulful divinity needs to be mated with the spirit.
