A tiny steel cable, an Italian floor lamp, and a fifty-year-old General Conference talk remind me that losing our balance doesn't mean losing our purpose.

Success is not usually found inside the comfort zone. Success is found just beyond it, where your excuses start getting loud, where your body starts arguing with your spirit, and where you have to decide what kind of person you really intend to become.

Expectations can guide us, but they can also quietly become demands we place on life, others, and even God. This LDS talk explores how Jesus Christ helps us surrender our plans, trust the Father’s will, and keep walking in faith when life does not turn out the way we expected.
