Integrity is the willingness and desire to live by our beliefs and standards. Read Moroni 10:30–33 and think about what it means to “deny yourselves of all ungodliness.” Read the pamphlet For the Strength of Youth. Reflect on how the Lord’s standards differ from the world’s standards. Record in your journal appropriate standards for behavior, dress, and conversation, as well as literature, movies, television, Internet, music, cell phones, and other media. Also write your plan to stay morally clean and worthy to attend the temple. After keeping your standards for at least one month, record your feelings in your journal and continue to keep your commitment.
Lots of people think our standards are strange, unrealistic and a burden. Those who keep their standards know that they are there to keep us safe and make life better and easier. Think about this throughout your experience and write in your journal your thoughts.
Some standards of the church are difficult to follow if you don't understand why. Study For the Strength of Youth and the Young Women theme, and look for the doctrines and principles these standards are based in. How does your perspective change?
