The pursuit and nurture of wellness cultivates individuals who are “capable of meeting personal challenge and change,” and who bring strength to self and “others in the tasks of home and family life, social relationships, civic duty, and service to mankind.” (BYU Mission Statement).
Achieving wellness increases our ability to act as “disciples of Jesus Christ…motivated by love for God and His children” (BYU Brand). Seeking connection, growth, health and to fulfill our eternal purpose, we “do all things through Christ” (Philippians 4:13), and act beyond ourselves for the benefit of the world.
