You may not know this, but our online School of Life Mastery was originally expected to open a LONG time before it actually did.
Here’s why:
After I created the curriculum and loaded the content, my husband (who, in his previous life worked in the IT department for Universal Studios) headed up the site structure and development.
When making a phone call, if you dial the numbers right, it works. Children who have never used a phone often have trouble making it work right for a while, just as we can have trouble making the laws of success work to achieve our goals.

OVERCOMING ADVERSITY AND TRIALS
By Reed K.Wilson
I was given a little latitude with my topic and in the course of a lot of thought, prayer and worry, I decided on my talk. I noticed over a period of time a pattern in the Conference and Ensign talks each month. So I followed suite and I thought I would speak on Overcoming Adversity and Trials.

As little Caleb’s head appeared, a problem was revealed. The cord, that had given him life and nutrition during his development in the womb, was wrapped around his shoulder, under his arm, and around his neck. With each push, the cord was choking him and bruising his little face. The midwife tried feverishly to loop the cord over his head, but the strong cord was immovable. It could not be pulled or broken. “You’ve got to push and get this baby out NOW,” she announced loudly.
