Assessing your personal Integrity

To continue the topic of Integrity here are some more quotes from Elder Rasband as he spoke to BYU students on March 13, 2018

Assessing Your Personal Integrity

Assess with me for a minute how you see and exercise integrity:

• Do you choose to “stand . . . in holy places, and be not moved”?²⁰ What does it mean to you to hold a current temple recommend and to count it a privilege? Do you seek peace and comfort in the temple? Is temple worship of our Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ, part of who you are?
• Do you pray for promptings to help someone the Lord knows needs assistance? Or is your schedule too busy?
• When you make a mistake, do you deny it or blame someone else? Or do you face the issue and resolve it?
• When friends are maligning someone or being rude, do you step away? Do you take their defense? Or do you join in for the sake of being a part of things?
• How do you keep the Sabbath day holy? How fully do you live the BYU Honor Code? The Word of Wisdom?
• If you served a mission, are you still doing the work of the Lord or have you slipped back into old habits? Are you setting aside time for daily scripture study and morning and evening prayer?
• Do you honor and sustain the president of the Church and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles? How do you speak of, support, and follow their initiatives and teachings?
• 
  

These are just a few ways you can spot-check your personal integrity. When you leave this sacred school setting, what will you be known for? The time to decide your epitaph is not at the end of your career but at the beginning. Right now. Will you be moral, ethical, and honest?

In Proverbs we read, “The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.”²¹ Integrity shapes a legacy, a path for others to follow.
