In the article by Pres. Monson that we read, he said,
"The need for a personal code of honor is demanded not only on a daily basis, but frequently many times in a given day."
What kind of "code of honor" do you think he's talking about? What would be on your personal "code of honor"? Ponder on this for a few minutes.
Write your own personal "Code of Honor" that you want to live your life by. List at least 10 points and don't forget to think about points of honor toward yourself and other people.
Choose one of the points on your "Code of Honor" and live it fully this week.
