Place the Savior, His teachings, and His church at the center of your life. Make sure that all decisions comply with this standard.
This principle will see you through periods of testing and growth. Upward growth occurs in cycles that build upon each other in an ascending spiral of capacity and understanding. They are often not easy, but they are always beneficial. As you walk the path of righteousness, you will grow in strength, understanding, and self-esteem. You will discover hidden talents and unknown capacities. The whole course of your life may be altered for your happiness and the Lord’s purposes. – Richard G. Scott, “Make the Right Decisions,” Ensign (CR) May 1991
