Theme: Liberty
Secondary Theme: Have a decided heart - Overcoming double-mindedness
Principles:
If I want to go a thousand miles, then I must start with a single step.
If I chart my course, then the power to control direction belongs to me.
If I am passionate about my vision for the future, then I have a decided heart.
If I freely give my vision for the future to others, then they will see the belief in my eyes and they will follow me.
If I have done everything in my power every day to move the mountains in my path, then I will lay my head on my pillow at night happily exhausted.
If I have a dream, then I can have a dream come true!
If I confront my problems, then they will become smaller.
If I am passionate about my vision for the future, then my course has been charted and my destiny is assured.
If I have a decided heart, then I will not procrastinate.
Time Period:
"Now this was the faith of these of whom I have spoken; they are young, and their minds are firm, and they do put their trust in God continually."
---Alma 57:27
Memorization:
"The Road Not Taken"
BY ROBERT FROST
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
