“It's a hard life sometimes and the biggest temptation is to let how hard it is be an excuse to weaken”
“It's a hard life if you don't weaken.”
“How easy life is when it's easy, and how hard when it's hard.”
“Any excuse, no matter how valid, only weakens the character.”
“Any excuse for non-performance, no matter how valid, weakens character.”
“Its not living the gospel thats hard. Its life thats hard...How often do we make the mistake of talking to our youth about how hard it is...Shouldn't we instead be focusing on the doctrine of joy...? p 106”
