I am the Editor and Founder of https://principlesneverfail.us/ a blog dedicated to principle centered personal development. The social, intellectual, physical, and spirtual challenges facing individuals and the communities in which we live in 2020 and beyond will require the best that is within us. True principles anchor us to the truths previously discovered. We can move forward into the future with confidence on the correct path if we do not forsake the truths we already know. My over 50 year quest has been to discover true principles and seek to understand and strive to apply them in my life. My hope is that some of what I have found may be of value to my family, friends, and to you.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. Quote: “We should be eternally vigilant ...

Sometimes we must be unpopular. 🚫James E. Faust

We must stand against the wind. Sometimes we must be unpopular and simply say, “This is not right.”

Two Teaching Mistakes

to teach too much about the subject
to teach it at the wrong time.

The sooner mistakes are rectified the better.

It is braver and more honorable to promptly disavow and fly from error, no matter what the present seeming cost, or to frankly acknowledge a mistake, and apologize for it, and thus get rid of it, than to crouch beneath the burden, which is moral cowardice. ⏰Joseph Fielding Smith

“The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our liberation.” 🥇C.S. Lewis

Success Secret

We are not free to choose the outcome.

We are free to choose our own course in life, but we are not free to choose the outcome that comes from following our own rules, no matter how many times someone says we can.

People “are free to follow their own course, but they cannot pursue an inferior course of action and expect the best outcome.” Ensign, August 2020
