We acquire a testimony of the principles of the gospel by obediently trying to live them.

Believing requires action.

The thankful heart opens our eyes to a multitude of blessings that continually surround us

If we can find forgiveness in our hearts for those who have caused us hurt and injury, we will rise to a higher level of self-esteem and well-being.

. . . Cultivating good humor may be helpful in finding our own identity. Young people who are trying to find out who they really are often have concerns as to their ability to meet and cope with the challenges that confront them and that lie ahead.

It is important that we all learn to laugh at ourselves.
