“To Manage the Minute is
the Secret of Success” – Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin
I loved this message by Elder Wirthlin . It was simple, direct, and very
applicable. His message was one of truth
and it motivated me to use my minutes more effectively. He emphasized the importance of the little
things in life – and minutes are little.
But they add up! He brought an
important point up – we have a fixed rate of minutes each day. We can’t add more minutes and we can take
away any minutes. How we act and use our
minutes requires us to manage ourselves wisely with a positive outlook.
What really stood out to me was how important the little
things are with our relationships with others.
He said, “Do you take the time to remember some of the simple courtesies
that are so important in relationships with others? Do you remember the smile,
the compliment, the positive comment, and the word of encouragement? We should
do these important little things without hesitation.” This made me think about the kindness that
others have shown me. I am touched by a
simple smile. I savor a sincere
compliment. I remember words of
encouragement forever. These are all
great feelings and I can share these feelings with those around me by looking
for ways to do the same.
As I pray and turn to the Lord for strength, I’ll be able to
develop spiritual qualities. “We will
love more and criticize less.” I want to
do the little things to improve my relationships with family, friends, and even
strangers. I’m going to make an effort
to smile and be friendly toward others.
I will look for things I can complement others about. I will share encouraging words to lift others
up.
