I Don't Want To Do That

Doing things we don't want to do is a common everyday occurrence.

Most good things in life only come by first doing things we probably don't want to do.

Having a healthy body requires discipline in eating and pain in exercise. Being educated requires lots of mental focus and study. Having a strong moral character means doing what's right rather than what's easy.

Doing  things we don't want to do - the things that don't come easy - guarantees results.

Discipline in your eating will improve your health. Time and effort in study will increase your knowledge. Being truthful will increase your moral character.

Instead of being self-centered and self-indulgent, help and serve other people and your happiness will increase.

God told Lehi to have his sons get the brass plates. After much effort, pain, and grief they succeeded. The result?

"And we had obtained the records which the Lord had commanded us, and searched them and found that they were desirable; yea, even of great worth unto us, insomuch that we could preserve the commandments of the Lord unto our children."

Good things in life only come after we do the difficult things.
