Setting Goals

Aiden N., age 10, Nevada, set a goal to say his prayers every night. He said, "When I pray I thank Heavenly Father for things He has done for us. When I pray I feel the Spirit and it makes me really happy. I am thankful for Heavenly Father, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost. I believe everyone should pray. It's worth it."

Have you been working on a goal this year? Remember that you can pray to Heavenly Father and ask Him for help in reaching your goal.

Elder M. Russell Ballard

"I would suggest that if you want to have success in the goal-setting process, you learn to write your goals down. I would even put them in a prominent place—on your mirror or on the refrigerator door."

–Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, "Go for It!" New Era, Mar. 2004, 4.

I like listening to the prophet during general conference.
