Faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time, for one will dispel the other.
— Thomas S. Monson
Choose a field that will supply sufficient remuneration to provide adequately for your companion and your children. I bear testimony that these criteria are very important in choosing your life's work.
Many years ago, it was my opportunity to serve as president of the Canadian Mission. There we had a branch with very limited priesthood. We always had a missionary presiding over the branch. I received a strong impression that we needed to have a member of the branch preside there.
Each heartfelt prayer, each Church meeting attended, each worthy friend, each righteous decision, each act of service perfomed all precede that goal of eternal life.
Amidst the confusion of the times, the conflicts of conscience, and the turmoil of daily living, an abiding faith becomes an anchor to our lives.
Choose your friends with caution; plan your future with purpose, and frame your life with faith.
Perhaps the surest test of an individual's integrity is his refusal to do or say anything that would damage his self-respect.
