Obedience to the commandments of God is the key to spirituality.
More Quotes from David Oman McKay:
If we would have peace as individuals, we must supplant enmity with forbearance, which means to refrain or abstain from finding fault or from condemning others.... We shall have power to do this if we really cherish in our hearts the ideals of Christ, who said 'Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.' (Matt. 523-24) Note the Savior did not say if you have ought against him, but if you find that another has ought against you.David Oman McKay
A man in such a mental state that the anger itself does him more harm than the condition which aroused his anger ... suffers more from the vexation than he does from the acts that aroused that vexation. I wonder how long it will take us to realize that in matters of temper nothing can bring us damage but ourselves.
David Oman McKay
The power of choice is a God-given gift, and the purpose of life is happiness. Things which pertain to the physical nature are so easily obtained and the pleasure so immediate that many spend most of their time seeking them and neglecting the permanent joys of the spirit.

That from the heart come good thoughts and bad thoughts is the message of the Savior. By the right choice, and through application of thought, man ascends to divine perfection by the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the beasts. Between these two extremes are all the grades of character and man in their maker and master. Jesus taught that from within the heart of man come evil thoughts, sexual vice, acts of theft, murder, adultery, greed. When men commit these crimes individually or collectively, they trespass upon human rights and, of course, bring misery into the world. A noble and godlike character is no thing of favor or chance, but is a natural result of continued effort and right thinking, the effect of long cherished associations with godlike thoughts.

The secret of success is doing well the job close at hand.

Spirituality is not constant meditation and an indifference to surrounding conditions and responsibilities rather, it is doing those things which are in accordance with the mind and will of God. It concerns itself with temporal life as well as with things of the spirit.
