But once the decision is made, let the picture go. Since you can't control the future, the picture can create unhappiness if it's not fulfilled. Disappointment may make you miss the good that can come out of every situation in which you find yourself.” IfsMindMayMadeHelpingMightHappensEyeDecisionSituationMissingExpectationsFunctionDisappointmentValuableFinding YourselfUnhappinessFulfilled Book:Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway Source: Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway

“While testimonies can come as dramatic manifestations, they usually do not. Sometimes people think they need to have an experience like Joseph Smith's vision before they gain testimonies.
