Goals for Choice & Accountability
 

1. A daughter of God can make wise decisions and solve problems. Read 1 Nephi 15:8, 2 Nephi 32:3, Alma 34:19-27, Ether 2-3, and D&C 9:7-9. Follow a pattern of regular scripture study and prayer to receive help in making personal decisions such as choosing good friends, being kind to others, getting up on time, or other decisions. Discuss with a parent or Young Women leader how this helped you.

2. Read the pamphlet For the Strength of Youth. List in your journal each standard of righteous behavior the pamphlet outlines, and record why it is important to live those standards. Practice living righteous standards by choosing one in which you need to improve. You might choose to be more selective about television, music, books, or other media, or you might improve your modesty, speech, or honesty. After three weeks, share with your family, your class, or a Young Women leader your progress.

3. Read about agency in 2 Nephi 2 and D&C 82:2-10. With a parent or Young Women leader, discuss the blessings and responsibilities of agency. Record in your journal your understanding of agency and the consequences of choices and actions.

4. Read about repentance in Isaiah 1:18, Alma 26:22, Alma 34:30-35, Moroni 8:25-26, and D&C 19:15-20, D&C 58:42-43. Record in your journal what repentance means to you. Study the process of repentance, pray for guidance, and apply the principles of repentance in your life.

5. Learn about the Holy Ghost. With a parent, Young Women leader, or friend, read and discuss Ezekiel 36:26-27, John 14:26, John 16:13, Galatians 5:22-25, 2 Nephi 32:5, Moroni 10:4-5, and D&C 11:12-14. Then record in your journal how the Holy Ghost can help you make good decisions in your daily life. Pray for and live worthy of the companionship of the Holy Ghost.

6. Study the Young Women theme and what it teaches you about who you are, what you are to do, and why you are to dot it. List in your journal what you will do each day with regard to modesty, dating, and the media to be morally clean and worthy to enter the temple.

7. Making choices is part of Heavenly Father’s plan for us. Read Moses 4:1-4, Moses 7:32, and 2 Nephi 9:51. Establish a pattern of wise money management by making a budget for saving and spending your money, including the payment of tithing. Live within you budget for at least three months. Set priorities that allow you to meet your most important needs before satisfying your wants.
