Abr 2:6
Arise, and take Lot with thee; for I have purposed to take thee away out of Haran, and to make of thee a minister to bear my name in a strange land which I will give unto thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession, when they hearken to my voice.

Often I arrive alone at a still stop light soon busied by everyone else speeding off on their mark. Its easy to become impatient and anthropamorphize a churlish and discuritous stop light. A defense is to reason that you have endured taunting headlights because where are you? Are you far back in a line probable to miss the next light? No! You wait longest when you are first in queue.

Consider an oak tree. At what point in its life, evolution, and development is it not “perfect”? Our NATURE is to evolve and grow and change but it doesn’t make us bad. Or wrong like we need to be fixed. It’s not that you’re broken but there’s just evolution that wants to happen. Joe Hudson

Romans 12:1-2 OJB
I appeal to you therefore, brethren, through the mercies of God, present your bodies, all of your being, as a living sacrifice⁠, holy and acceptable unto God, which is your sacred labor. And be not conformed to this world⁠: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind⁠, that ye may ascertain what is the will of god, what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. taken in The Grand Tetons by @benjam_splatt

No one confines his unhappiness to the present. Epictitus

Alma 41:14

Therefore, my son, see that you are merciful unto your brethren; deal justly⁠, judge righteously, and do good continually; and if ye do all these things then shall ye receive your reward⁠; yea, ye shall have mercy restored unto you again; ye shall have justice restored unto you again; ye shall have a righteous judgment restored unto you again; and ye shall have good rewarded unto you again. by @benjam_splatt

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how. Nietzsche

2 Cor 5:8-9 (see OJB)
We are confident, I say, and pleased rather to be absent from the flesh, and to be home with the Lord.

Wherefore we are aspiring⁠, that, whether at home or away from home, we may be pleasing to him. by @benjam_splatt

It’s your set of values that compel you: will acting on will. 1.17.26 It is impossible to consider any one thing advantageous and desire something different, or consider one thing right and have an impulse to do something else. 1.18.2 Epictitus Discourses

2ne. 9:50 Come, my brethren, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come buy and eat; yea, come buy wine and milk without money and without price. by @benjam_splatt

That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet -Emily Dickerson
(I smiled a lot last year. So much.)

Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel - Ezekiel 40:4

I’m not a big fan of mantras or mottos but here are some thoughts that sponsored last year:

✨Focusing on doing something well helps you forget how difficult it is.

✨You cannot become more if you’re not willing to do more.

✨What are you going to do about it? What will it change? If it doesn’t does it matter? Then continue as you started. If it does that’s ok.

Last year was also sponsored by the Book of Ezekiel. The Stoics. 108,000 minutes of music. Camping expeditions. Weekend Campfires. Over 55 temple appointments at 8 different temples. A weird fling with Top Golf there at the end. And too many wonderful and favorite pictures I can’t post. by @benjam_splatt
