TEN RULES OF HAPPINESS By President David O. McKay
�� 1.Develop yourself by self-discipline.
�� 2.Joy comes through creation-sorrow through destruction.
Every living thing can grow: Use the world wisely to realize soul
���� growth.
�� 3.Do things which are hard to do.
�� 4.Entertain upbuilding thoughts. What you think about
when you do not have to think shows what you really are.
�� 5.Do your best this hour, and you will do better the next.
�� 6.Be true to those who trust you.
�� 7.Pray for wisdom, courage, and a kind heart.
�� 8.Give heed to God's messages through inspiration. If
self-indulgence, jealousy, avarice, or worry have deadened your
���� response, pray the Lord to wipe out these
impediments.
�� 9.True friends enrich life. If you would have friends,
be one.
� 10.Faith is the foundation of all things-including happiness.
(Quoted in Richard L. Evans, "Portrait of a President," _The Improvement
Era_, June 1951, p. 401)

Any assessment of where we stand in relationship to Him tells us that

Neal A. Maxwell
As you feel the need to confide in the Lord or to improve the quality
of your visits with Him... may I suggest a process to follow:
go where you can be alone, where you can think, where you can kneel,
where you can speak out loud to him. The bedroom, the
bathroom, or a closet will do. Now, picture Him in your mind�s eye.
Think of whom you are speaking. Control your thoughts--don�t
let them wander. Address Him as your Father and your friend. Now tell
him things you really feel to tell him--not trite phrases that
have little meaning, but have a sincere, heartfelt conversation with
Him. Confide in Him. Ask Him for forgiveness. Plead with
Him. Enjoy Him. Thank Him. Express your love for Him. Then listen for
his answers. Listening is an essential part of praying.
Answers from the Lord come quietly, ever so quietly. In fact, few hear
His answers audibly with their ears. We must be listening
carefully or we will never recognize them. Most answers from the Lord
are felt in our heart as a warm, comfortable expression, or
they may come as thoughts to our mind. They come to those who are prepared
and who are patient.

another.
