Learn and live these principles, skills, and habits. They lead to spiritual and temporal self-reliance.

“Self-reliance is a product of our work. … Our forward progress in this great work is dependent upon a deeper understanding and a more thorough application of divinely revealed welfare principles.”

Thomas S. Monson, “Guiding Principles of Personal and Family Welfare,” Ensign, Sept. 1986, 3–5
