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.

☀The Lord will never fail you.

If you have something that the Lord asks or expects you to do and you don’t know just how to proceed, do your best. Move in the direction that you ought to go; trust the Lord, give him a chance, and he will never fail you. ―George Albert Smith

“To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.” ― St. Thomas Aquinas

There is safety for us only on the Lord’s side of the line.

“There is a line of demarcation, well-defined, between the Lord’s territory and the devil’s. If you will stay on the Lord’s side of the line you will be under his influence and will have no desire to do wrong; but if you cross to the devil’s side of the line by even one inch, you are in the tempter’s power, and if he is successful, you will not be able to think or even reason properly, because you will have lost the spirit of the Lord.” (Sharing the Gospel with Others, 1948, 42–43). George Albert Smith

A true principle discovered, properly applied, brings a correct result. 💡John H. Vandenberg

Listening is an expression of love. It often requires sacrifice. When we truly listen to others, we often give up what we want to say so they can express themselves. (Teaching No Greater Call, 66).

Courage is easier than fear.

Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier. We do not have to become heroes over night. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down. —Eleanore Roosevelt

Each day is a new battle to say yes to what matters and say no to what doesn’t. Focus is a practice. ⚡James Clear
