Ponder—Maximum Time: 5 Minutes

Individually think about what you have learned today and consider what the Lord would have you do. Read the scripture or quote below and write responses to the questions.

“[Your chosen field] should be one which will challenge your intellect and which will make maximum utilization of your talents and your capabilities. Finally, it should be a field that will supply sufficient [pay] to provide adequately for your companion and your children” (Thomas S. Monson, “Life’s Greatest Decisions” [Church Educational System fireside for young adults, Sept. 7, 2013], lds.org/media-library).

What are the most meaningful things I learned today?

What will I do as a result of what I learned today?
