In the longest study ever conducted, inter-generational researchers from Harvard discovered that the primary reason some people flourished during life, while others failed, was due to ADAPTATION.
Those who suffered abrupt changes in life and who could accept and adapt to new ways were able to live well into old age. Those who were brittle, unchanging and harsh in temperament regarding loss were among the bitter, poorer and dead.
I read The Harvard Study (book) when I was delayed by a snowstorm in 1973 in the lobby of the Hotel Utah. I stayed there overnight, invited to help myself to the many magazines and books.
I never forget that it was vital to be real, to change quickly, to stay nimble, in order to prosper. All people and every institution survices only by being adaptive. The others get discarded by the flow of human progress.

The LDS church wants to survive. This means, they will adapt to the game...as time goes by.
