Setting goals is a worthy endeavor. We know that our Heavenly Father has goals because He has told us that His work and glory is "to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. You don't need an invitation before you start moving in the direction of your righteous goals. You don't need to wait for permission to become the person you were designed to be.

Knowledge does away with darkness, [anxiety], and doubt; for these cannot exist where knowledge is.

Commandments are opportunities to exercise our agency and to receive blessings.

We need to accept that the commandments of God aren't just a long list of good ideas. They aren't 'life hacks' from an Internet blog, or motivational quotes from a Pinterest board. They are divine counsel, based on eternal truths.

What you create doesn’t have to be perfect. So what if the eggs are greasy or the toast is burned? Don’t let fear of failure discourage you.

You are not invisible to your Heavenly Father. He loves you.

It is good advice to slow down a little, steady the course, and focus on the essentials when experiencing adverse conditions.
