- “I encourage you to take time each week to be by yourself… Take an honest look at your life. Evaluate where you stand with the promises you have made with Heavenly Father…. When all is said and done, …only you know if you are living true to your covenants made with God.” (M. Russell Ballard, Church News, 18 Oct. 2008, 16)
- “As I have reviewed the past 49 years, I have made some discoveries. One is that countless experiences I have had were not necessarily those one would consider extraordinary. In fact, at the time they transpired, they often seemed unremarkable and even ordinary. And yet, in retrospect, they enriched and blessed lives—not the least of which was my own. I would recommend this same exercise to you—namely, that you take an inventory of your life and look specifically for the blessings, large and small, you have received.” Thomas S. Monson, October 2012 General Conference
