Today's Thought

"A striking personality and good character is achieved by practice, not merely by thinking it. Just as a pianist masters the intricacies of music through hours and weeks of practice, so mastery of life is achieved by the ceaseless practice of mechanics which make up the art of living. Daily unselfish service to others is one of the rudimentary mechanics of the successful life. . . . What a strange paradox this! And yet one needs only to analyze it to be convinced of its truth" (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, p. 250).
