Sketch note of Self-Mastery by Elder Russell M. Nelson

October 1985 · Saturday Afternoon

Self-Mastery

Elder Russell M. Nelson
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Elder Nelson taught that the spirit must master the body's appetites through controlled thoughts, fasting, clean speech and choices.

“Your physical body is a magnificent creation of God.”
“Since thoughts precede deeds, you must first learn to control your thoughts.”
“Fasting gives you confidence to know that your spirit can master appetite.”
“I'm lonely, but I'm not lonesome.”
