Words of Wisdom

Yes, I am stealing these words of wisdom.  I hope none of you mind.  For those who have already heard the message, Heed It!

This evening, I had the opportunity to hear an important message has started me thinking.
       
      "Always give everything you do 100%.  99% or less will not cut it.  Giving 101% or more takes the something from somewhere else, which means you are not giving 100% in everything you do."

Last night I had the opportunity to meet with our Stake President.  He again reminded me, us, what is important when extending a calling or accepting a calling.  We need to remember that it is always important to prioritize our lives.
     
      1 - Our Families
      2 - Our Employment
      3 - Our Calling

I am sure there are other things I could add to this list, but these seem to be the ones that occupy most of my time.  All of them are intertwined with my happiness and well being.  Yet I have the hardest time giving each of them 100% equally.  I always find myself giving more to one than the another at any given time.  Then I feel unbalanced, less productive, and spiraling into cycles of guilt.  I know I need to work on it.  How about you?

This was only one bit of wisdom, I think I will use the other for my talk on Sunday, if I have time.

Remember to be AAA!
