Sacrament Service
Think about what your regrets will be about your preparedness if disaster strikes and work on those things now. Think about what your regrets will be after this life when you review your preparations for eternity and work on those things now.

Helaman 13-16 - Repent and Return unto the Lord - lesson 35
Repent, return to the Lord, and follow the prophets.
2 Nephi 2:17-18
17 And I, Lehi, according to the things which I have read, must needs suppose that an angel of God, according to that which is written, had fallen from heaven; wherefore, he became a devil, having sought that which was evil before God.
18 And because he had fallen from heaven, and had become miserable forever, he sought also the misery of all mankind. Wherefore, he said unto Eve, yea, even that old serpent, who is the devil, who is the father of all lies, wherefore he said: Partake of the forbidden fruit, and ye shall not die, but ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.
Helaman 13:38
38 But behold, your days of probation are past; ye have procrastinated the day of your salvation until it is everlastingly too late, and your destruction is made sure; yea, for ye have sought all the days of your lives for that which ye could not obtain; and ye have sought for happiness in doing iniquity, which thing is contrary to the nature of that righteousness which is in our great and Eternal Head.
Even if you repent, you have to keep repenting.
Watch your thoughts, your words, and your deeds.
Mosiah 2:36-37
36 And now, I say unto you, my brethren, that after ye have known and have been taught all these things, if ye should transgress and go contrary to that which has been spoken, that ye do withdraw yourselves from the Spirit of the Lord, that it may have no place in you to guide you in wisdom’s paths that ye may be blessed, prospered, and preserved—
37 I say unto you, that the man that doeth this, the same cometh out in open rebellion against God; therefore he listeth to obey the evil spirit, and becometh an enemy to all righteousness; therefore, the Lord has no place in him, for he dwelleth not in unholy temples.
We often receive promptings during conference of things we should adjust in our lives. Then weeks go by and we forget those promptings or get busy and don't work on them.

Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Howard W Hunter chapter 18
Being honest with ourselves is also important.
How do we be completely honest and yet tactful?
Calling things someone else's fault when it is ours is lying to ourselves. Not taking accountability is dishonest.
