My Foundation Principle – Seek Learning: Resolve Where You are Going and How to Get There
Ask yourself, “How does learning create opportunity?”
Watch the video: Education for a Better Life (churchofjesuschrist.org)
The following counsel reminds us of our duties to be better citizens in His Kingdom. What thoughts and impressions have you had from the Holy Ghost about improving your life?
“Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith. … Establish a house … of learning.”
Doctrine and Covenants 88:118-19
“We have a responsibility and a challenge to take our places in the world of business, science, government, medicine, education, and every other worthwhile and constructive vocation. We have an obligation to train our hands and minds to excel in the work of the world for the blessing of all mankind.”
Gordon B. Hinckley, “A City upon a Hill,” Ensign, July 1990, 5
The Lord has a plan for you. He has blessed you with special gifts and talents that will allow you to become anything He desires you to become. You can fulfill your mission here on earth if you are diligent in seeking to understand and obey His will for you.
“Plead that the Spirit will show you what the Lord wants you to do. Plan to do it. Promise Him to obey. Act with determination until you have done what He asked. And then pray … to know what you might do next.”
Henry B. Eyring, “Act in All Diligence,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2010, 63
To create your Life’s Mission, answer the following questions:
- 1. Where do I want to be in five years?
- 2. Why?
- 3. What skills, knowledge, or experience do I need to get there?
The next step is to create goals that will help you achieve your life’s mission. For more information, go to page 27 of the My Foundations manual – my-foundation-na-eng.pdf.
