As we come to the end of another year, so many people make "New Year's Resolutions," promises or pledges that they intend to follow during the next calendar year.

Here are 17 thoughts to guide us during 2014.

1. Faith is the ability to not panic.

2. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry.

3. Laugh every day. It's like inner jogging.

4. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

5. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted.

6. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home every day.

7. The most important things in your home are the people.

8. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.

9. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
