contention

The prevalence of a spirit of contention amongst a people is a certain sign of deadness with respect to the things of religion. When men's spirits are hot with contention, they are cold to religion. - Jonathan Edwards “The Book of Mormon does not supplant the Bible. It expands, extends, clarifies, and amplifies our knowledge of the Savior. Surely, this second witness should be cause for great rejoicing by all Christians.” - Joseph B. Wirthlin

Life lessons

 


11 Things people learn too late in life


Here’s the list from the video: 1. The less you say, the more your words will matter. 2. Don’t take everything personally. Not everyone thinks about you as much as you do. 3. When you focus on problems, you’ll have more problems. When you focus on possibilities, you’ll have more possibilities. 4. No matter how much it hurts now, someday you’ll look back and realize your struggle changed your life for the better. 5. You meet people for a reason: either you need them to change your life, or you’re the one who’ll change theirs. 6. Never be afraid to try something new. Life gets boring when you stay within the limits of what you already know. 7. You’ll never truly know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. 8. Once you begin taking note of the things you’re grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things you lack. 9. If you don’t have control over your mouth, you don’t have control over your future. 10. Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it. 11. The only person you have to face in the morning is yourself. (Be unbeatable.)

Things that inspire you

 

🇺🇸 ELON: "LIFE CAN'T JUST BE ABOUT SOLVING ONE MISERABLE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER - THERE NEED TO BE THINGS THAT INSPIRE YOU" "There are a lot of negative things in the world. There's a lot of terrible things that are happening all over the world, all the time. There are lots of problems that need to get solved. There's lots of things that are miserable and kind of get you down. But life cannot just be about solving one miserable problem after another. That can't be the only thing. There need to be things that inspire you, that make you glad to wake up in the morning and be part of humanity."

Rational adolescence

 

Boyd K. Packer did not mince words… “Normal desires and attractions emerge in the teenage years; there is the temptation to experiment, to tamper with the sacred power of procreation. These desires can be intensified, even perverted, by pornography, improper music, or the encouragement from unworthy associations. What would have only been a more or less normal passing phase in establishing gender identity can become implanted and leave you confused, even disturbed. “If you consent, the adversary can take control of your thoughts and lead you carefully toward a habit and to an addiction, convincing you that immoral, unnatural behavior is a fixed part of your nature.”
