My Latest Life Lesson

When you don't want to do something, that means you should.

Some examples of when this is good advice to follow:

• exercising
• reading scriptures
• praying
• fessing up to something
• doing some kind of service for someone
• eating a salad instead of ice cream

I am realizing though that this is a very generalized statement and there are definitely some circumstances when you should not to follow this advice:

• if you don't want to jump off a cliff
• if you don't want to marry someone
• if you don't want to let someone rob you
• if you don't want to wear a swimming suit to play in the snow

So, it certainly isn't all inclusive to say that whenever you don't wanna do something, do it. But I think you're probably an intelligent enough person to know when it applies and when it doesn't.

This was a much better thought before I tried to write it down.
