Advice for Life
April 08th, 2021 by G.
This advice is framed as weight loss advice. It’s actually advice for life. It was the message of General Conference.
If you want to lose weight, don’t start tomorrow. Don’t start today. Start yesterday. Start last year. Start framing your life as a continuous series of learning experiences rather than a fragmented series of failures.

The difference between a hero who comes out of nowhere to overcome all odds and a loser who pathetically stumbles from disaster to disaster is whether they get up that last time they fell. That is it.

All true. I’m super sore today, because this last week I’ve been doing all kinds of heavily physical stuff, including preparations for a third-degree black belt test two weeks away. Which, you know, I never dreamed I would be capable of passing when I started martial arts a decade ago. I just wanted to be able to hold a plank for longer than 10 seconds – maybe do a few push-ups!
It’s been a long journey, and it’s not over yet. As with the physical, so with the spiritual. I have much more to learn about both – and much more to do!
