Q

What did Elder Scott say is the difference between making decisions based upon circumstance or making decisions based upon eternal truth?

A

“Decisions based upon eternal truth are centered in doing what is right, not in first deciding what we want. Choosing to do what the Lord has defined as right will, in the long run, always lead to the best outcomes. However, that pattern may require you to set aside something you very much desire now for a greater future good.”
