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.

Be Kind and Tenderhearted

“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:31–32

“Hence, brothers and sisters, for the faithful, our finest hours are sometimes during or just following our darkest hours.”

Neal A. Maxwell, *“The Great Plan of the Eternal God”*

Freedom must be Protected

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. ✅Ronald Reagan

Someday ↔ Someway ↔ Somehow

Because the Restoration reaffirmed the foundational truth that God does work in this world, we can hope, we should hope, even when facing the most insurmountable odds. . . We all need to believe that what we desire in righteousness can someday, someway, somehow yet be ours. ⚡

The Ultimate Personal Success book.

I am going to write the Ultimate Personal Success book. Won’t be a “page turner.” Just one page. All you need to know: (1) Choose your parents with great care. (2) Get lucky. (The rest, as “they” say, is details. P.S.: I am not kidding.) Tom Peters
