"Who we are changes as we set higher and higher standards of what life is all about and what we are here to accomplish." (pg 63)
I know that this applies to all types of learning in this life. With the Gospel, the more you learn, the more your strength and faith in the Lord increases, your ability to roll with the punches increases too because you are able to see the bigger and eternal picture.
As I read this book, my hunger for true and deep knowledge grows. I want to learn how to think again! When I realize how much I am missing in life because I don't know how to think my determination amplifies to better refine myself. For example, I love the phrase, "Daughter of a King." When I think of that I remember that I am a princess and therefore Daughter of a King. It makes me want to be kinder, serve more, speak with a gentle tongue and be an educated and refined mother, daughter, wife and friend.
Ignorance is what keeps people in bondage and (I know it sounds trite but...) knowledge really is power. The more knowledge we have we become better people and can rise to the task that has been appointed to each of us on earth. Like Raven pointed out, each of us really do have genius inside of us. As we take the necessary steps to cultivate that knowledge and share it, we will truly be blessed and we will be blessing the lives of all around us by being instruments of God. What can be better than that?
