Do it now!

I was just reading an article from the November Ensign entitled Do It Now by Elder Donald L. Hallstrom Of the Seventy. He is talking about not procrastinating and coming closer to Christ. I really liked the following quote so I thought I would share it.

"We know what is right, but we delay full spiritual involvement because of laziness, fear, rationalization, or lack of faith. We convince ourselves that “someday I’m going to do it.” However, for many “someday” never comes, and even for others who eventually do make a change, there is an irretrievable loss of progress and surely regression."

I'm hoping that I can change my attitude on many things to Do It Now vs. I'll do it later which I seem to do all to often.

That is a quote. I think I will print it out and put it somewhere I can see daily. Thanks for sharing it.

That is something I always do, I am by nature a procrastinator (sp). I know I will rethink a lot of actions in some aspects of my life. Thanks for sharing.
