  • Make Yourself
  • Acknowledge. Move on.
  • No one ever excused his way to success
  • Just Do It!
  • Damned if you do. Bored if you don’t

    “We do not take counsel from our fears.”

    I heard Elder Bednar quote it of someone, and I heard President Monson say that was one of President Hinckley’s qualities . . . that he does not take counsel from his fears.
