"No temptation, no pressure, no enticing can overcome us unless we allow such. If we make the wrong choice, we have no one to blame but ourselves. President Brigham Young once expressed this truth by relating it to himself. Said he: "If Brother Brigham shall take a wrong track, and be shut out of the Kingdom of heaven, no person will be to blame but Brother Brigham. I am the only being in heaven, earth, or hell, that can be blamed." He continued: "This will equally apply to every Latter-day Saint. Salvation is an individual operation."President Henry B. Eyring says we can also help others, but it requires faith to follow counsel.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

Choice
Just as freedom isn't free, choice isn't free either. We have the opportunity to make choices.
