While I don't love the idea of absolving myself of a design challenge, or trying to find a solution to a problem, I believe there is a principle here that is much more important than I am giving heed to it.
President Hinckley is known for his optimism and letting things work themselves out. To quote him directly:
“It isn’t as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don’t worry. I say that to myself every morning. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us.”
This is a powerful bit of advice from a sage man who was extremely optimistic, kind, and favored of the Lord. But as a counterpoint to The absolve approach is merely wishful thinking, the key word from Hickley is to "do your best." Without that, you're not living the spirit of what he said.
