Revelation (lds.org):

"Revelation is communication from God to His children. This guidance comes through various channels according to the needs and circumstances of individuals, families, and the Church as a whole. When the Lord reveals His will to the Church, He speaks through His prophet. Prophets are the only people who can receive revelation for the Church, but they are not the only people who can receive revelation. According to our faithfulness, we can receive revelation to help us with our specific personal needs, responsibilities, and questions and to help us strengthen our testimony."

The only way to receive revelation is through following the commandments, continuing to follow Christ's example, and finally through prayer. If we do not ask for help or guidance, it is hard to know what to do in a spiritual sense. We may be inundated with worldly knowledge and/or pressure from others in our life, but we must determine for our own welfare what the Lord would have us do. This is how a personal revelation is received.
