what's been on my mind

“Endowed with agency, you and I are agents, and we primarily are to act and not just be acted upon. To believe that someone or something can make us feel offended, angry, hurt, or bitter diminishes our moral agency and transforms us into objects to be acted upon. As agents, however, you and I have the power to act and to choose how we will respond to an offensive or hurtful situation.” Elder David A. Bednar

                                       

“Let them alone. Let them go.

Give them the liberty of speech they want.

Let them tell their own story." Joseph F. Smith

            

 

Both of these quotes have stuck with me since coming across them preparing my talk. i love them both because of the power in them. the power that is ours if we just realize we have control over our actions. we have the opportunity and agency to CHOOSE what we WANT...
