Time Management
“This Is My Day of Opportunity”
This earth life is so short in the eternal scheme, but it determines so much. It is our “day of opportunity.” Use it well and you will have opportunities you never dreamed of.
The Importance of Being Present
Remember, the present is the time when we have freedom and actuality. Use that freedom to create a fulfilling life now instead of basing your happiness on something that has not happened yet.
Seeking a Balanced Life
[S]eeking balance—giving adequate time and effort to each of those things that really matter—is vital to our success in mortal probation.
Adding Stars to Your Life's Sky
Individually and collectively our destiny lies in the ability to connect the points of light in our lives so that we can see the broad patterns of eternity.
Time: A Precious Commodity; a Finite Resource
Brothers and sisters, do we relish our time on Earth? Do we have enough purpose in our lives to shake off despair and apathy? President Uchtdorf recently challenged us to prioritize all of the “good” things we do in order to do the best things we can. I have found that on occasion it is healthy for me to step back and contemplate what I really want to gain from this life and the precious time that I have.
Tomorrow Is Today
Today, as you look to the future—as your future “commences,” if you will—the words of an often-quoted Chinese proverb are worth taking seriously: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
As You Embark upon This New Era
You and I cannot know everything. There is, however, One who does know it all, who understands all, who created all and everything—He is the Father of our spirits, our Father in Heaven. Because He is our Father, He has an intense interest in our education. He knows what we need to learn to fulfill our mission in life.
Timing
The first principle of the gospel is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Faith means trust—trust in God’s will, trust in His way of doing things, and trust in His timetable. We should not try to impose our timetable on His.
What Will You Make Room for in Your Wagon?
Many things in life compete for our attention, but we only have so much "room in our wagons." Prioritizing what really matters helps us get closer to God.
Child of Promise
Time is our royal inheritance as children of promise, and the way we spend or invest it determines our own reward and the inheritance of others.
Investing for Eternity
Never will our time or efforts be better rewarded than when they are spent in service and kindness. This kind of investing for eternity should be our aim.
A Word to You: Generation of Destiny!
Time is a resource and gift given to us from God. In our mission to use time wisely, we must remember that it is never too late to make important decisions. These decisions are how we we enter into life—eternal life.
The Endowment of Time
Time is a god-given gift that the wise will cherish and that the foolish will waste or misuse; what we do here will determine what we are in the eternities.
Time Is of the Essence
Time is the single greatest commodity you have in this life. Don't waste it! Find out where you're going, make goals, and work hard to get there.
