Set goals that are well balanced-not too many nor too few, and not too high nor too low. Write down your attainable goals and work on them according to their importance. Pray for divine guidance in your goal setting.
M. Russell BallardOften the lack of clear direction and goals can waste away our time and energy and contribute to imbalance in our lives. A life that gets out of balance is much like a car tire that is out of balance. It will make the operation of the car rough and unsafe. Tires in perfect balance can give a smooth and comfortable ride. So it is with life. The ride through mortality can be smoother for us when we strive to stay in balance.
M. Russell BallardRemember that our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ, know you best and love you the most.
M. Russell BallardBecause we love the Lord, we should be spiritually sensitive to moments when the powerful and important truths of the gospel can be shared with others. Perhaps more importantly, however, we should seek at all times to purify ourselves and to lead such worthy lives that the Light of Christ emanates from us in all that we say and do. Our day-to-day lives should stand as immutable witness of our faith in Christ.
M. Russell BallardWe are not asking everyone to do everything. We are simply asking all members to pray, knowing that if every member, young and old, will reach out to just โoneโ between now and Christmas, millions will feel the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. And what a wonderful gift to the Savior.
M. Russell Ballard
