Endure to the End...

...or what Angela Lee Duckworth calls "Grit".
Once again we see that "I.Q." is trumped by "emotion".

about a 6 minute talk.

"Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint."

"So far, the best idea I've heard about building grit in kids is something called "growth mindset." This is an idea developed at Stanford University by Carol Dweck, and it is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort."

To the Saints, these are rather old and already known "insights" for success.

"The second principle I should like to emphasize as a characteristic of a true priesthood holder of God is the mark of effort. It is not enough to want to make the effort and to say we’ll make the effort. We must actually make the effort. It’s in the doing, not just the thinking, that we accomplish our goals. If we constantly put our goals off, we will never see them fulfilled. Someone put it this way: Live only for tomorrow, and you will have a lot of empty yesterdays today"

If one has received the Second Anointing where their Calling and Election is made sure - do they have to endure to the end?

I'm pretty sure Mormon Jesus still has to let Tom Philips into the Celestial Kingdom. That must really piss Mormon Jesus off.
