"Life is too short for unhappiness"

And I write...

A seed sprouts downward to take what it needs first and then it can sprout upward.

Writing things down allows us to ponder, meditate, and think about those moments we have and things we experience.

If we truly understood repentance, we'd start right away and involve Christ every step of the way.

Have faith in God, not Satan.  Have faith that you can be forgiven, that you can change.  Don't have faith in that you can't become better.

The only possible way for the Book of Mormon to have ever been brought about is by the divine power of God.

Alma 37:37 - Counsel with the Lord, don't counsel the Lord.  Pray for strength to do something, not just for multiple blessings.

Honoring the agency of others is one of the most difficult things to do because there's the chance of them falling.

"God wants us to realize that His way in leadership is not a quick fix... The long-suffering leader is more interested in developing and training souls than in getting the job done quicker or in some other way, or by someone else." -Vaughn J. Featherstone

Heavenly Father isn't going to throw an extra guilt bag on someone if they've truly repented.

"With the victory over my mind, I conquer the whole world." -Adi Granth Jap. ji, M1

The more like God we try to be, the more the adversary is going to work on us.

Be okay with the questions that you have.  They bring you closer to God.

You can recognize that you're teaching by the Spirit if you're learning something, too.

A shepherd has to feed his sheep every single day, but it's also the sheep's choice to eat.  If we choose to not read, pray, go to our Church meetings, etc., we are only starving ourselves.  Eat.  And when you do eat, make sure you are nourished, not just fed.

"Those who listen intently and live with reverence shall attain perfection, and immortality." -Avesta Yasna 45.5

Godliness is about what you become by progression and degrees.

You are the only limit to what you do.

We are here to work on the attributes of godliness.
