Consistently Choose the Right

Some members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wear rings inscribed with the letters 'CTR', which stands for 'Choose the Right'.

Choose the right—consistently

I often think of adding another 'C' to the front of that acronym—cosistently. The phrase now reads, 'Consistently Choose the Right'.

It is not enough to make one right decision. We must choose correctly every day of our lives. One prayer is not enough to get us through the evil that surrounds us. We must pray always. One hasty profession of belief in Christ is insufficient and presumptuous. We must live as He lived.

As we consistently choose the right, we will successfully overcome the temptations and pitfalls of Satan. We will experience greater joy and peace. Elder L. Tom Perry promised:

[T]he greatest joy we receive in this life is in following the Savior.
