Learn Your Duty

Learn your duty. That statement in and of itself shows that we are all on different levels. It shows that we never stop learning, we all have a responsibility to hone our skills. We must keep moving, once we stop progressing forward, then we are sliding backward. It is a never ending battle that we will contine to fight even after this life.

Dallen H. Oakes taught in a general Conference talk the principle of Good, Better, Best. "We have to forego some good things in order to choose others that are better or best because they develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen our families." We need to recognize those things that are better and once those are achieved we seek to better ourselves by extending again. Reaching for the best of all things. As we put ourselves through this grueling process we will be able to have our spiritual senses sharpened and be keenly aware of those things around us.

Focus on the positive. Recognize that while you are struggling through this life there are others who have a lot of the same experiences that you are having. You maybe that rock, the instrument that is needed to wrap your arm around that lost sheep and bring them back into the fold.
