I Have Been Taught That We Can

When You Face Adversity . . . Don't' Ask: Why Does This Have To Happen To Me? Why Do I Have To Suffer This, Now? What Have I Done To Cause This? Rather Ask: What Am I To Do? What Am I To Learn From This Experience? What Am I To Change? Whom Am I To Help? How Can I Remember My Many Blessings In Times Of Trial?

Peace Is The Precious Fruit Of A Righteous Life. It Is Possible Because Of The Atonement Of The Savior. It Is Earned Through Full Repentance, For That Leads To Refreshing Forgiveness.

You Are Here On Earth For A Divine Purpose. It Is Not To Be Endlessly Entertained Or To Be Constantly In Full Pursuit Of Pleasure. You Are Here To Be Tried, To Prove Yourself So That You Can Receive The Additional Blessings God Has For You.

Sadness, Disappointment, And Severe Challenges Are Events In Life, Not Life Itself. I Do Not Minimize How Hard Some Of These Events Are. They Can Extend Over A Long Period Of Time, But They Should Not Be Allowed To Become The Confining Center Of Everything You Do.

Worthy Character Is Best Forged From A Life Of Consistent, Correct Choices Centered In The Teachings Of The Master.
