1st Nephi 19:7
For the things which some men esteem to be of great worth, both to the body and soul, others set at naught and trample under their feet. Yea, even the very God of Israel do men trample under their feet; I say, trample under their feet but I would speak in other words—they do set him at naught, and hearken not to the voice of his counsels.
We should strive to be good followers of God, not good followers of positions. We are taught by society that things will make us happy. This is not the case. Only God can make us truly happy. Don’t tarnish God for the sake of stuff that is empty and that you cannot take with you when you die.
