How Will My Choices Affect Generations After Me?

I am reading Ether in my Book of Mormon study right now.  The thought that keeps coming to me is how much of a different life all the Jaredites could have had if they just would have listened to the council of The Brother of Jared when he said they should not have a king.  The Brother of Jared did make the right choice, but the choices of the next generation really affected the next generations and brought much war and difficulty to so many, even those who were faithful.

How will my choices affect those who follow me?

My Assigned Relief Society study this week is:
 "Waiting Upon the Lord:Thy Will be Done" " by Elder Hales

I noticed many important action words required to wait upon the lord:
Wait, anticipate, trust, patience, faith, rely on Christ, minister to others, diligence, immoveable in keeping the commandments, say in our prayers:"Thy will be done" . . .

I also noticed the emphasis on the question, "who waits upon me?" 

I hope to be inspired to make correct choices and to serve those who wait upon me today,
