  Personal Definition:
I think a garden is a place of growth and a place where new things are developing. I hadn't really thought of this before, but Jesus died in the GARDEN of Gethsemane. That was a place of ultimate growth and a place of new beginnings, and a place where new beginnings were made possible!
I think also, if you're going to use a garden as a metaphore of your heart, you can grow good things there too, and you can grow bad things like weeds. So I want to make sure I'm growing good seeds in my heart, like faith, (it even talks about how faith is like a little seed in the scriptures)

Alma 32:
 28 Now, we will compare the word unto a aseed. Now, if ye give place, that a bseed may be planted in your cheart, behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed, if ye do not cast it out by your dunbelief, that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say within yourselves—It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to eenlighten my funderstanding, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me.

Obstinate

obstinate

OB'STINATE, a. [L. obstinatus.]

1. Stubborn; pertinaciously adhering to an opinion or purpose; fixed firmly in resolution; not yielding to reason, arguments or other means.
I have known great cures done by obstinate resolutions of drinking no wine.
No ass so meek, no ass os obstinate.
2. Not yielding or not easily subdued or removed; as an obstinate fever; obstinate obstructions; an obstinate cough.


Scriptures:

1 Nephi 20:4

  • Book of Mormon
And I did it because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; 

Isaiah 48:4

  • Old Testament
Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; 


Deuteronomy 21:18

  • Old Testament
¶If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: 

Deuteronomy 21:20

  • Old Testament
And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. 

Psalms 78:8

  • Old Testament
And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God. 

Proverbs 7:11

  • Old Testament
(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: 

Judges 2:19

  • Old Testament
And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. 

 Quotes:

True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance.
Akhenaton 
 
Vanity dies hard; in some obstinate cases it outlives the man.
Robert Louis Stevenson

What is exciting is not for one person to be stronger than the other... but for two people to have met their match and yet they are equally as stubborn, as obstinate, as passionate, as crazy as the other.
Barbra Streisand


Being stubborn has helped, being selfish is not a bad thing.
Herbie Mann 
(I don't know about this quote.....???)


Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
John Adams

Personal Deffinition:
Well, after doing this, I now know that I am Obstinate. Sigh. Yeah...I probably should work on that.....
 To be Obstinate I think means to be stubborn (I used that as another reference) and it means to be selfish and foolish. I thought it was kind of cool because a lot of scriptures referenced to the "son" or the "child" of the home like in

Deuteronomy 21:18

  • Old Testament
¶If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: 


 19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto athe gate of his place;
 20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

So yeah. I think being obstinate is like being greedy and drunk and blind to the true meaning of happieness. I think the dwarfs in Narnia (the last battle) were very obstinate. They didn't even try to see it in a different way or from someone elses point of view. 
Obstanate means to also be rebellious, and to go against, or to be unyeilding or willing to change. 
It all about selfishness.

Truth is Light. When ever you get an Ah-ha, (which are like little amazing truths that you find in your day) whenver you get an Ah-ha, it feels like a little light bulb! 
When you find out more truth, you see with more light. 
(I thought that was cool, because my theme I picked for the day was light)
Also, just because someone believes in something doesn't make it a truth. But you can find it out for your self if its true, by asking in prayer, and feeling the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost comes from God who has all the source of truth and light, which we can fully rely on. :)

Fallible

fallible

FAL'LIBLE, a. [L. fallo, to deceive.]

1. Liable to fail or mistake; that may err or be deceived in judgment. All men are fallible.
2. Liable to error; that may deceive. Our judgments, our faculties, our opinions are fallible; our hopes are fallible.

  •  Scriptures:
  • Alma 10:5
  •  5 Nevertheless, after all this, I never have known much of the ways of the Lord, and his amysteries and marvelous power. I said I never had known much of these things; but behold, I mistake, for I have seen much of his mysteries and his marvelous power; yea, even in the preservation of the lives of this people.



    • As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed.
    James Madison





    Personal Definition:
    I think fallible means Liable to screw up sometimes. We are all fallible, but the happy thing is, we can repent! Sometimes things we do, might just be plain right out wrong, and we might or might not realize it, but if we do, we can clean up and start out new by taking advantage of the atonement. I think it's a fantastical concept!  And I'm very grateful for it!

  • Scriptures:

    See also Church, Signs of the True; Miracle; Signs of the Times
    An event or experience which people understand to be evidence or proof of something. A sign is usually a miraculous manifestation from God. Satan also has power to show signs under certain conditions. Saints should seek for the gifts of the Spirit but should not seek for signs to satisfy curiosity or sustain faith. Rather, the Lord will give signs as he sees fit to those who believe (D&C 58:64).

    • Alma 11:21

    • Book of Mormon
    And this Zeezrom began to question Amulek, saying: Will ye answer me a few questions which I shall ask you? Now Zeezrom was a man who was expert in the devices of the devil, that he might destroy that which was good; therefore, he said unto Amulek: Will ye answer the questions 

    Mosiah 12:19

    • Book of Mormon
    And they began to question him, that they might cross him, that thereby they might have wherewith to accuse him; but he answered them boldly, and withstood all their questions, yea, to their astonishment; for he did withstand them in all their questions, and did confound them in all their words.

    • New Testament
    Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day. 

    Mark 11:29

    • New Testament
    And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
  • *Notice, all these examples they Question, because of intentions to eather trick, or gain knowledge, except for the last one, which was a question from Jesus Christ. Did he ask questions because he was curious? No, He knows everything, but he did it because of His intentions to Help others, and help them gain knowledge.

  • Quotes:
  •  We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
    Walt Disney
    Robert Louis Stevenson

  •  A person who is too nice an observer of the business of the crowd, like one who is too curious in observing the labor of bees, will often be stung for his curiosity.
    Alexander Pope
  •  
     Curiosity is lying in wait for every secret.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson

    There are various sorts of curiosity; one is from interest, which makes us desire to know that which may be useful to us; and the other, from pride which comes from the wish to know what others are ignorant of.
    Francois de La Rochefoucauld


    Curiosity is one of the great secrets of happiness.
    Bryant H. McGill

    Personal Definition:
    I think curiosity can be a good thing, and a bad thing. 
    I think it's good because its a natural feeling that makes us want to learn and discover more, and find out more mysteries, but, as the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat, and so I think Curiosity is a wonderful think as long as you don't let it go to far, and go meddling in business that isn't yours and get yourself into trouble.
    But if we're curious in a good way, and we feel we have a passion for something good and we want to learn more, then let your curiosity fly! 

    For example, my brothers and sisters love to watch a show called Curious George about a monkey who is very curious. He discovers new things, and learns great stuff, but sometimes he goes to far and gets into trouble. :)

    Brave, courageous, determined, faithful.
    To apply this to my life, I don't necessarily need to die for truth, but maybe stand up for what I know to be right.
    Even when you think it might risk how others think of you, it doesn't matter because if the Lord wants you to do it, then if you do, it'll all turn out ok!
    This could even include sharing things in vanguard that you think the Lord wants you to share. You can really bless others, and if that one thing goes unsaid, then you might not have been able to help someone.
    So I want to share and be a light!
