Decisions Determine Destiny
In high school, the opportunity to do things such as drugs, or alcohol presented itself. The way I was raised and with my beliefs in the LDS religion I would never do something like that. Therefore, I always thought, “If I drink or smoke, how will I will be able to teach my kids not to do so?” I do not want my kids saying to me,” Dad, since you did that stuff, why can’t I?” Being an example is so important these days and I believe that the world around us is becoming a very wicked place. Once my kids come into this world, it shall be a very difficult place to raise righteous and just children, with all the evil that will be around us.
The choice to choose is a very hard thing when we truly think about it. Every choice or decision we make could change the entire outcome of many different situations. I believe that our choices define us and make us who we are. We must always be ready and willing to suffer the consequences or enjoy the blessings of our decisions we make daily. I truly believe in this statement,” Never let your passions destroy your dreams, because decisions determine destiny.”
My best friend, who was a brother to me also, had a tragic accident take place which ended in taking his life. When this happened to him it really hit home of how true this quote truly is. He began in high school experimenting and doing things that were against his beliefs just to have some so called “fun”. I tried helping him and explain to him that wickedness never was happiness but it was hard for him to understand. While I was serving my LDS Mission this accident took place. He went on vacation with 3 buddies to a friend’s birthday party. That night he himself was not intoxicated but he put himself in a situation in which those around him were drinking. He decided not to participate and went out to the car to sleep. While sleeping, his buddies came back, intoxicated, and decided they would go home that night instead of waiting until the next
