Always be grateful for your blessings, especially your heritage. When we are blessed with goodly parents, we should be grateful. This is the debt each of us owes for our heritage.

One of your greatest protections against making bad choices is to not put on any mask of anonymity.

The desire of our hearts, of course, is not only to acquire salvation and immortality but also to attain eternal life with a loving Father in Heaven and our Savior in the celestial kingdom with our families. We can obtain eternal life only through obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel.

The family is the most important unit in time and in eternity and is ordained of God.

The Savior accomplished the Atonement, which resolves the most terrible burdens that can occur in this life.

And whoso is found a faithful, a just, and a wise steward shall enter into the joy of his Lord, and shall inherit eternal life.

Even worthwhile endeavors need evaluation in order to determine if they have become distractions from the best goals.
