Perseverance...all things are possible

This week we read about Elder Holland's experiences and how they taught him that perseverance is important in life, an education, and in business. We cannot let failures or disappoints distract or prevent us from accomplishing our goals. The video of Taylor Richards tells us to involve the Lord in all aspects of our lives, including becoming an entrepreneur. He relates the story of Nephi, and how the Lord blessed Nephi to accomplish those things he needed to do. But Nephi also called upon the Lord; he didn't just wait for the Lord to step in and help him. It is the same with us. We will have people tell us we can't accomplish what we're trying to do, but if we ask the Lord for help, He will help us in any righteous endeavor. I believe that if I want to become an entrepreneur, and my motivations are pure, then the Lord will help me as I ask for His guidance. I know He helps guide me when I ask for direction, and I know that He will move obstacles from my path, as I pursue righteous endeavors. This was a great reminder to me, as there were elements of things that are in my patriarchal blessing.
