Why Worry?

Why Worry?

There are only two things to worry about;

Either you are sick or you are well;

If you are well, there is nothing to worry about;

If you are sick, there are only two things to worry about;

Either you live, or you die;

If you live, there is nothing to worry about;

If you die, there are only two things to worry about;

Either you go to heaven or hell;

If you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about;

If you go to hell…

You’ll be so busy shaking hands with friends,

You won’t have time to worry;

So why worry?

Fear is an ugly word.

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

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
