Editing Principles: A Pathway to Living the Gospel More Fully

Embracing editing principles can enrich our lives and deepen our commitment to the Gospel. By refining our thoughts and actions, we cultivate a better understanding of spiritual teachings and embody them daily. Careful editing clarifies our message, helping us eliminate distractions and align more closely with gospel values. This process transforms our journey and allows us to uplift those around us.

President Gordon B. Hinckley reminded us, “Each of us can do a little better than we have been doing,” highlighting the opportunity for continual improvement in our discipleship. Just as editors strengthen a draft without tearing it down, we can refine our spiritual lives without striving for immediate perfection. By removing clutter such as impatience and pride, we create space for peace and clarity.

Good editors evaluate work with fresh eyes and honesty; similarly, we should pause to examine ourselves with humility. Recognizing where we can grow fosters spiritual confidence. Moreover, improvement often involves collaboration through prayer, scripture study, and guidance from the Spirit, helping us move forward with renewed energy, as President Hinckley encouraged.

Living righteously is about embracing the edits that draw us closer to Christ, one day at a time.
