Today, we’re diving into a concept that might seem paradoxical at first: “Problems are Forever.” But before you hit pause or wonder if I’ve suddenly embraced pessimism, bear with me. We’re not here to wallow in the gloom of perpetual problems. Instead, we’re about to embark on an exploration of how every challenge, setback, & curveball life throws us is lighting our way to becoming the extraordinary people we’re destined to be. Buckle up, because this transformative perspective is backed by insights from modern-day experts as well as LDS wisdom. Today’s episode encourages to be problem-solvers & life-levelers. It’s pretty exciting!
