Decisions and Goals
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Doctrine & Covenants 58:26-28

"For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward. Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness; for the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Ezra Taft Benson

"The biggest business of any life is making decisions. While one of the greatest gifts of God to man is ... the right of choice, he has also given man responsibility for these choices. ... We put our own lives in the direction of success or failure. We may not only choose our ultimate goals, but we may also determine and decide for ourselves, in many cases, the means by which we will arrive at those goals, and by our industry or lack of it determine the speed by which they may be reached. This takes individual effort and energy and will not be without opposition or conflict" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson, p. 63).
