To do, or not to do....that is the question. This week has made me think a lot about preparing to
choose the right. Not only choosing the right, but actively preparing to recognize when I am
choosing wrong. Setting up these boundaries now is a great tool that I don't think many people have had the opportunity to take advantage of. In the talk, "Choices" by James E. Faust, he said,
"Elder Oaks had decided years before that he would never drink alcohol, and so in the moment of trial he did not have to make this choice again". This example is relative to how I feel this preparation will be for me in the business world. Choosing now what I will or will not do, before I am in those possibly hard situations, will help to define the right course. It may seem silly to prepare so early, but this also reminds me of a story from Elder Robert D. Hales. In his book "Return", he describes his flight teams month long preparation before a long flight. The preparation was tedious and may have seemed silly but in a desperate moment that training saved their life. To prepare before hand so you don;t have to question or wonder what to do in an invaluable asset in the gospel and in life.
