My Foundation Principle – Use Time Wisely
The new year is always a great time to assess where we are in life and where we can improve going forward. Spending our time wisely is essential to completing our goals in life. Here are some suggestions from My Foundations:
Watch this video for a great example of someone who uses their time wisely: The Gift of Time (churchofjesuschrist.org)
“For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.” Alma 34:32
“Time is all the capital stock there is on the earth. . . . If properly used, it brings that which will add to your comfort, convenience, and satisfaction. Let us consider this, and no longer sit with hands folded, wasting time.” Brigham Young, in Discourses of Brigham Young, sel. John A. Widtsoe (1954), 214.

The Lord has declared, It is my purpose to provide for my saints. D&C 104:15
