There Is No Chance, No Fate, No Destiny That Can Circumvent Or Hinder Or Control The Firm Resolve Of A Determined Soul.

Memorize [this] statement to resist mortal challenges: “There is no chance, no fate, no destiny that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.”²⁶

We Become What We Want to Be By Consistently Being What We Want To Become Each Day

We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day....You cannot be passive in life, or in time the natural man will undermine your efforts to live worthily. You become what you do and what you think about


Richard G. Scott, “The Transforming Power of Faith and Character,” Ensign, Nov 2010, 43–46

The Difference Maker

And so it returns, as it always does, to your own personal faith and testimony. That is the difference-maker, my young brothers and sisters. That is how you know. That is how you avoid the mistakes of the past and take your spirituality to the next level....And how do you get such a testimony? Well, there’s no new technology for that, nor will there ever be. You cannot do a Google search to gain a testimony. You can’t text message faith. You gain a vibrant, life-changing testimony today the same way it has always been done. The process hasn’t been changed. It comes through desire, study, prayer, obedience, and service. That is why the teachings of prophets and apostles, past and present, are as relevant to your life today as they ever have been.
