which way are you facing

2 Nephi 28:30

“The whole principle came from the idea that if you broke down everything you could think of that goes into riding a bike, and then improved it by 1 percent, you will get a significant increase when you put them all together.”
Sir Dave Brailsford
Quoted in "One Percent Better" 
By Elder Michael A. Dunn

"Brothers and sisters, our divine destiny and purpose is ultimately to become like our Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ. We do this as we change, or repent. We receive the Savior’s “image in [our] countenances.” We become new, clean, different, and we simply continue to work at it every day. Sometimes it may feel like two steps forward and one step back, but we continue to humbly move forward in faith."
Then Will I Make Weak Things Become Strong
By Elder Kevin S. Hamilton

I love these talks and the humble understanding these men have of progress. Some days, I think I fell 2 steps back and am still trying to get a step forward. As president nelson said in an april '96 talk, "Which Way Are You Facing?" As long as I'm striving forward, with real intent*, I'm ok.  

*Moroni 7:6, 9 & Moroni 10:4
