“Only you know your circumstances, your energy level, the needs of your children, and the emotional demands of your other obligations. Be wise during intensive seasons of your life. Cherish your agency, and don’t give it away casually. Don’t compare yourself to others — nearly always this will make you despondent. Don’t accept somebody else’s interpretation of how you should be spending your time. Make the best decision you can and then evaluate it to see how it works.” KnowsNeedsGivingShouldChildrenEnergyDecisionLevelsAcceptingWiseEmotionalCircumstancesDemandSeasonsOur ChildrenSpendingObligationCompareYour ChildrenAgencyInterpretationCherishBeing WiseEvaluateEnergy LevelsDespondentSpending Your Time Book:Lighten Up!

“Be spiritually independent enough that your relationship with the Savior doesn't depend on your circumstances or on what other people say and do. Have the spiritual independence to be a Mormon--the best Mormon you can--in your own way. Not the bishop's way. Not the Relief Society president's way. Your way.” PeopleWayEnoughSpiritualPresidentDependsCircumstancesIndependentIndependenceReliefSaviorOur RelationshipBishopsRelief Society Book:Lighten Up! Source: Lighten Up!
