As far as possible, make arrangements in good time, which will avoid laying an undue burden on others. Dwell with thankfulness on the blessings and happiness that life has brought you. Try throughout life to discern the right moment to relinquish responsibilities which should pass to those younger than yourselves. As outward activity lessens, your thought and prayer may liberate love and power in others. Section 4 Bring the whole of your daily life under the ordering of the Spirit of Christ.
Life brings many conflicting responsibilities and choices.
When you have a choice of employment, choose that which gives the fullest opportunity for the use of your talents in the service of God and humanity. In your relations with others, exercise imagination, understanding and sympathy. Think it possible that you may be mistaken. Remember that no one can live to himself or herself alone, and be ready to seek counsel and help from one another. Let not failure discourage you.
