You cannot drive people to do things which are right, but you can love them into doing them, if your example is of such a character that they can see you mean what you say. 🌿George Albert Smith, April 1946 General Conference

“Anybody can become angry, that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way — that is not easy.” —Aristotle

I learned that good judgment comes from experience and that experience grows out of mistakes. ⭐General of the Army Omar N. Bradley

“Action forces prioritization.

If you’re stuck deciding between options, force yourself to act. You can only act on one thing at a time, which means you will have to make something the top priority.

Even if you pick wrong, you’ll learn something.” 🔔James Clear

As we confront our own lesser trials and tribulations, we too can plead with the Father, just as Jesus did, that we “might not … shrink”—meaning to retreat or to recoil (D&C 19:18). Not shrinking is much more important than surviving! Moreover, partaking of a bitter cup without becoming bitter is likewise part of the emulation of Jesus. 
Elder Neal A. Maxwell 
October 1997 General Conference
