Quote Of The Week:
"I would say to the House as I said to those who have joined this Government: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.”Winston Churchill
This week I learned a lot about "hanging on and hanging in" life is never going to go the way we hoped, and we need to be ready for challenges and be prepared with tools to overcome those challenges.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland gave an address at BYU entitled "However Long and Hard Road" and encouraged students not to become discouraged but to give it your all as you move through challenges and setbacks. Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And our of small things proceedeth that which is great.
Victory, Victory at all costs was Winston Churchill's call to motivate his people when they faced the ruthless Nazi powers.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland also taught in a video message about what he would tell his younger self if he had the chance. He would say, "things are going to be ok". There are good things to come.
Stones in the Road
· You can choose to see problems as opportunities, as challenges spurring new ways of thinking and personal growth
· Pushing against the obstacles on your hero’s journey will help build mental, physical and spiritual muscle
· How you reach your goal, what you do before the end . . . so that at the end of your journey you not only achieve something great but also become something great
The Giant of Despair
· Keep your goal in mind, focus on your purpose, not on the present darkness
· Seek for help from your companions, chances are not everyone in your life will feel discourage at the seam time.
· A connection to the transcendent puts temporary problems in their proper perspective, devote yourself to prayer.
· When you are in the valley of darkness, go on believing in the light
Fighting the Dragon
· When this great fight comes, you will succeed only if you have prepared in advance for the moment.
