Yes.
I don't think Elder Bednar, and others, mean to imply it's the "end" of always having the spirit with you to not do things that detract from having it, but the beginning. We must also choose activities that help persuade us to believe in Christ and have the spirit, such as prayer, scripture study, etc.
So, it begins as defensive, but ends with being proactive.
Welcome to the forums. I'm looking forward to many more thoughtful and useful posts, such as this one, from you.
