I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go

I am constantly seeking to be better in every aspect of my life. Recently we have been discussing ethics, which for many is what they use to make important decisions.

Sister Sheri Dew, gave a talk to BYU-I students in 2004 entitled True Blue, Through and Through.She was able to connect with my struggle to find the line of where I stand when she said "You and I live in a world filled with pressure–pressure to accomplish, pressure to get ahead, pressure to conform,
pressure to be popular. And so on. None of us are perfect. We all 
have flaws. How then, under repeated
pressure, may we avoid allowing small cracks in our integrity
 to form so that we can do what we came here to do? How can we stay true blue– to ourselves, to others, and to our Father and His Son?"

As I have pondered on what it was that truly helps me make decisions I discovered that it is really my desire to do what it is that the Lord would have me do. Of course there are a few values that I have that drive decision making process. Some of the ones that I have been able to specifically pick out were: spirituality, happiness, obedience, integrity, love, virtue, family and compassion(including compassionate service!) I am not sure exactly how these values all come together to form the person that I am today, but I do know that I live in a way that will help me to become who it is God wants me to be.

Sister Dew continues, "True to yourself, meaning who you are as a son or daughter of God, and who you are 
in the process of becoming. True to others, meaning that you do what you say 
you will do. And true to God, meaning that you practice what you preach and that 
you are doing what you covenanted to do here in mortality." I cannot thing of a better reason for me to live the way that I do, other than the reason to stay true to God. If I am striving to stay true to God, then I will make the decisions that are going to lead me to become what it is God wants me to become.

For me then, my code of ethics is then: If it isn't what my Heavenly Father wants or if it isn't going to help me become what my Heavenly Father wants, then I don't want it either. My sincere desire is to become what Heavenly Father has designed be to become and to do my best so that I can make Him, "well pleased" in me.
