A very TBM relative posted this quote on Facebook:

“Work will win when wishy-washy wishing won’t.” ~~ Thomas S. Monson

Yeah, "wishy-washy wishing" is better known as "prayer."

So true. My only regret is wasting SO MUCH energy/time in fantasy/faith. I should have gotten smart about school far earlier; I was so set on being in "the right place at the right time" to cross paths with my eternal companion. So much wasted energy.

You shouldn't regret. You did the best you could at the time and when you could do better, you did better and rejected it.

Maya Angelou said something to that effect.

Tom Monson – prophet, sloganeer, and revelator.

Oh well, one out of three ain't bad. Wait – yes it is.
