How To Have More Enjoyment and Freedom

We have more enjoyment and freedom in our life when we stay inside the proper boundaries.

 

Especially the boundaries that God establishes. It’s just the way it is.

 

This truth is illustrated well in this short video as it shows people skiing inside the boundaries and out, and what the consequences are of each.

I was reading in Mormon the other day and came upon this verse:

But now, behold, they are led about by Satan, even as chaff is driven before the wind, or as a vessel is tossed about upon the waves, without sail or anchor, or without anything wherewith to steer her; and even as she is, so are they.

I started thinking about boats and ships - they have anchors to hold them still when needed, sails to push them along, oars and rudders to steer it. All of these tools, if looked at in one way could be seen as obstacles or rules - things that might hamper the boat from doing whatever it likes. But without these tools, the boat would be in serious danger or drift around doing nothing, or even crash into something. So seen in the correct light, they provide the boat with more freedom to choose where they will go and provide parameters to keep it safe.
