I am enjoying all this learning I am doing in this class. This week I loved listening/reading to Elder Tanner's talk from General Conference in April 1975 title Success Is Gauged by Self-Mastery.
I have 2 teenage boys, as a mom this is excellent counsel. The following is just a small quote from the talk it is one of the best talks for my family and me at this time.
"There are two important elements in self-mastery. The first is to determine your course or set the sails, so to speak, of moral standards; the other is the willpower, or the wind in the sails carrying one forward. As I said before, character is determined by the extent to which we can master ourselves toward good ends. It is difficult to say just what builds good character, but we know it when we see it. It always commands our admiration, and the absence of it our pity. But it is largely a matter of willpower."
