character choices eternity
By making choices consistent with eternal truth you will develop righteous character.
disappointment righteous-living choices
With the gift of the Holy Ghost comes the ability to develop a powerfully sensitive capacity to make the right choices. Cultivate that gift. As the Lord has said, that is accomplished by consistent, righteous living. As you enhance your capacity to sense the direction of that infallible influence, you will avoid disappointment, discouragement, and even tragedy.
choices criticism next
Every time you make the right choice in the face of potential criticism you build strength that makes choosing the right easier the next time. When you make it clear that you will not vary from your standards, you will be led to individuals like yourself and the criticism from others will become less intense.
love-you choices needs
If you have become entangled in sin from poor choices, please decide to come back now. You know how to begin. Do it now. We love you. We need you. God will help you.
destiny choices our-actions
I have been taught that we can make many choices in life, but we cannot choose our final destiny. Our actions do that.
strong character choices
Strong moral character results from consistent correct choices in the trials and testing of life. Your faith can guide you to those correct choices.
teaching character choices
Worthy character is best forged from a life of consistent, correct choices centered in the teachings of the Master.
past punishment choices
The joyful news for anyone who desires to be rid of the consequences of past poor choices is that the Lord sees weaknesses differently than He does rebellion. Whereas the Lord warns that unrepented rebellion will bring punishment, when the Lord speaks of weaknesses, it is always with mercy.

happen life view
Think of the long view of life, not just what's going to happen today or tomorrow. Don't give up what you most want in life for something you think you want now.
The Spirit communicating to your spirit is the most effective and fundamental of communications. Write it down. As you write down impressions of the Spirit, more are given.
memories trying guilt
