According To Your Desires

Alma 55:12

And Laman said unto them: You may do according to your desires.

I know it's a short one but I think there are some pretty powerful concepts hidden in here. Agency. To choose which road we will take. Our Father in Heaven has given us agency to choose for ourselves according to our desires. What are our desires?

"Desires dictate our priorities, priorities shape our choices, and choices determine our actions" -Dallin H. Oaks

we will act according to our desires. What do we want the most? Are our conscious desires the same as our unconscious desires? Are they in line with each other? Or do we think we want something but our actions are saying another? Sometimes the only way to figure out what your desires are is to work backward. What are you doing? how are you spending your time? WHO are you spending time with? Are these things helping you to achieve what you really want? If not, perhaps it's time to make some changes. We are free to do according to our desires- but we are not free to choose the outcome of those actions.
