“Every time we tell anybody to cheer up, things might be worse, we run away for fear we might be asked to specify how.”

“If we run away every time we have a nightmare, we'll never really wake up.”

“There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.”

“We can’t run away from what defines our fates. Who we are and what we believe in grow from the roots of our past, no matter how much we might try to deny it.”

“The passion for property is in it. There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid others might pick them up.”

“None of us makes it through this life without problems and challenges—and sometimes tragedies and misfortunes. After all, in large part we are here to learn and grow from such events in our lives. We know that there are times when we will suffer, when we will grieve, and when we will be saddened. However, we are told, “Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.” How might we have joy in our lives, despite all that we may face? Again from the scriptures: “Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you.”
