2. ALMA 34:32
“For behold, this life is the time for
men to prepare to meet God; yea,
behold the day of this life is the day
for men to perform their labors.”
See Footnote “b”: Self-Mastery
What does that mean to you?
3. Self-Mastery
“The height of a mans success is
gauged by his self-mastery, the depth
of his failure by his self-abandonment.
There is no other limitation in either
direction and this law is the expression
of eternal justice. He who cannot
establish dominion over himself will
have no dominion over others. He
who masters himself shall be king.”
- President Spencer W. Kimball
4. 100% Responsibility
“You must take personal
responsibility. You cannot change the
circumstances, the seasons, or the
wind, but you can change yourself”
Jim Rohn
(Americas foremost business philosopher)
5. Why 100%

16,000 lost mail pieces every hour
20,000 incorrectly made drugs each year
500 incorrect surgeries each week
22,000 pay checks paid to the wrong
person each hour
Your heart failing to beat 32,000 times
each year
6. Taking Responsibility Activity

8. Event + Response = Outcome
“You can’t change the
events that take place in life
but you can change your
response to the events to
create the outcome that you
desire”
9. E+R=O
What are some examples in
your life that you can change
your response to get the
outcome that you desire?
10. Listening To The Spirit
It is vitally important to listen to those
thoughts within yourself. Those thoughts
and impressions will always be there to
guide you and give you clues or
inspiration of what to do or not to do. It
will be the necessary push to keep you
going and keep thinking positive thoughts
Remember for us to be able to listen and
follow the spirit we need to be worthy of
it. Part of being 100% responsible is living
worthily of the spirit.
