Now

One of the great temptations of our lives is to delay making tough decisions or to think they will be easier in the future. I know from my own experience that difficult decisions only get more difficult as time goes on. The two great gifts Heavenly Father gives to us in mortality are agency and time. If we push everything into the future, we are not using our time in the present in the best way.

I like this quote from President Eyring (quoting Pres. Kimball). "We know from our own experience that President Spencer W. Kimball was right when he wrote, “One of the most serious human defects in all ages is procrastination,” and then he defined it: “an unwillingness to accept personal responsibility now” (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, ed. Edward L. Kimball [1982], 48; emphasis in original). And so Satan works on both our desire to think we have no cause to repent and our desire to push anything unpleasant into the future."

I know all of us will be happier and more effective if we use our time wisely now and let the future take care of itself.

Love to all,
