Aligning ourselves with principles is what will determine our outcome. There are no shortcuts. I have learned in my life that the most rewarding things have been achieved through MUCH hard work. It isn’t ironic that those things that are most precious to us in our lives (our families) come with a high price (hard work, sacrifice etc.).
Always try to teach that principle that underlies a situation, especially to yourself and your children. Your family will eventually grasp the concept of principles and understand how aligning their lives to principles are the only way to achieve happiness and success. This will also teach them to look beyond the situation into a deeper realm in every situation, knowing that there are principles there and lessons to learn. This winning mindset will serve them throughout their life.
It’s our choice. It’s our agency. We decide what paradigm we will follow. We choose happiness or suffering.

As our children get older I would love to have an FHE on recognizing the principles at work. It would be easy to come up with stories that have a conflict, then ask my children to recognize how it can be resolved based on PRINCIPLES.
