Our values in life influence everything we do with our time, energy, resources, and how we interact with others. In short they give direction to our life. . . — Barbara Winder, Devotional Address at BYU, November 12, 1985
As we look at ourselves, then, what should our primary concerns be? They are not the ones we often hear today: Should I be jogging five miles a day? Am I a perfect housekeeper? Should I have a career? Am I really fulfilled? These concerns are clearly secondary. Our primary concerns must be these: Do I know that Jesus is the Christ, the literal Son of God? Do I believe and follow the living prophets? How do I respond to the challenges of daily life? Am I usually trying to please the Lord, other people, or myself? — Sydney Smith Reynolds, “Teaching Values – A Mother’s Commission,” Ensign, March 1984, p. 22
Our lives are made up of thousands of everyday choices. Over the years these little choices will be bundled together and show clearly what we value. — Elder Boyd K. Packer, Ensign, November 1980, p. 21
