This post is short and this post may take you five minutes to read. I would like to ask you the following two questions and I would like you to answer those questions in your own time. "What is your definition of choices?" and "Do you ever reflect on your past choices?"
This post is based on a April 2016 General Conference talk called, "Choices" by President Thomas S. Monson. I would like to share with you some highlights while I was reading
the talk and I hope you will learn something new today.
President Thomas S Monson mentioned,
"I have been thinking recently about choices. It has been said that the door of history turns on small hinges, and so do people’s lives. The choices we make determine our destiny.
When we left our premortal existence and entered mortality, we brought with us the gift of agency. Our goal is to obtain celestial glory, and the choices we make will, in large part, determine whether or not we reach our goal.
May we choose to build up within ourselves a great and powerful faith which will be our most effective defense against the designs of the adversary a real faith, the kind of faith which will sustain us and will bolster our desire to choose the right. Without such faith, we go nowhere. With it, we can accomplish our goals.
Although it is imperative that we choose wisely, there are times when we will make foolish choices. The gift of repentance, provided by our Savior, enables us to correct our course settings, that we might return to the path which will lead us to that celestial glory we seek.
As we contemplate the decisions we make in our lives each day whether to make this choice or that choice if we choose Christ, we will have made the correct choice."
I encourage you to read the whole talk in your own time. Here is the link to the talk below.

Whether you acknowledge it or not, we all do make our own choices daily and we all do make our own choices every night of our lives. We all need to choose our choices wisely. That is all from me for now. I will be posting again sometime tomorrow during pacific daylight time zone.
