"And it came to pass that in the same year that the people of Nephi had peace restored unto them, that Nephihah, the second chief judge, died, having filled the judgment-seat with perfect uprightness before God."
Alma 50:37
That is amazing--"perfect uprightness before God." How do you get to that point? Some days it feels easy to think of God and do the right things... other times it is a struggle. Does it just take practice, or is it a mindset thing? Maybe both... but where it starts is today, right now. Making the right choices, and dealing with what is in front of us. Let's not get overwhelmed that other people seem perfect... and apparently Nephihah WAS perfect, at least in the judgement-seat part of his life. He had to do it one moment at a time, just like the rest of us. :) And, since he made it... we can too. :)
