I have been taught that we can make many choices in life, but we cannot choose our final destiny. Our actions do that.

No enduring improvement can occur without righteous exercise of agency. Do not attempt to override agency. The Lord himself would not do that. Forced obedience yields no blessings.

Learning, pondering, searching, and memorizing scriptures is like filling a filing cabinet with friends, values, and truths that can be called upon anytime, anywhere in the world.

You are here on earth for a divine purpose. It is not to be endlessly entertained or to be constantly in full pursuit of pleasure. You are here to be tried, to prove yourself so that you can receive the additional blessings God has for you.

A sense of humor is an escape valve for the pressures of life.

I have been taught that we can make many choices in life, but we cannot choose our final destiny. Our actions do that.

To be humble is to be teachable.
