What kind of marriage do you have?

Elder Robert D. Hales
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Your Character

"A good character is something you must make for yourself. It cannot be inherited from parents. It cannot be created by having extraordinary advantages. It isn’t a gift of birth, wealth, talent, or station. It is the result of your own endeavor. It is the reward that comes from living good principles and manifesting a virtuous and honorable life."

--Elder L Tom Perry, "The Tradition of a Balanced, Righteous Life", August 2011 Ensign

Teachable

“Anyone who has practiced what is good is ashamed to turn out badly. Manliness is teachable.” -Euripides, 423 BC

Prepared?

Buy a gun. The police don't prevent crimes, they just investigate them after your dead. ~Robert Kiyosaki

Living in a bubble, wanting to be right, when your actually wrong.

Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like. – Will Rogers

Destiny

My fate is not a coincidence…..

Do you play the picked on card?

With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose. - Dr. Wayne Dyer

Government

"If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute." - Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791

How do we become authentic to our pre-existence?

Benjamin Franklin said: “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”

How do we align what we say we are, with what we really are? Where inside of us is the inner success, that will show what we know we will become?

Experiences are no longer just entertainment, but rather the journey in finding out what we were before; is “real” what we truly are!?…

Criminals

"The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." - Thomas Jefferson

Character

"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." — John Wooden

Inspiring speech.

God is Love

"God does not look on the outward appearance. I believe that He doesn’t care one bit if we live in a castle or a cottage, if we are handsome or homely, if we are famous or forgotten. Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God’s love encompasses us completely."

--Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Love of God", Ensign, Nov. 2009, 21–24

What matters most….

"Never let a problem
to be solved
become more important
than a person to
be loved."

~President Thomas S. Monson

Thrift

Thrift is not an affair of the pocket, but an affair of character. – S. W. Straus

Frugality

“He who does not economize will have to agonize”
- Confucius

Change

Rather than trying to adjust the wind, adjust your sails.
Focus on what you can control – and this begins and ends with you!

Technology

"With all the blessings our modern age has given to us, let us not give up the things that promote the workings of the Holy Ghost."

--Neil L. Andersen, "A Gift Worthy of Added Care", Ensign, Dec. 2010, 30 -35

Independence

“I would never invade the United States.  There would be a gun behind every blade of grass.”   ~Isoroku Yamamoto

Fire

Fire, fire, fire - you've got to become a pyromaniac. It's the only way to survive! Freezing rain is worse than deep cold, because you can't even build a snow cave or snow shelter...  THIS is one skill which WILL save your life- even without shelter.   If you want to survive, LEARN THIS SKILL!   ~Dr. André F. Bourbeau

Weapons

"A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity" - Sigmund Freud
