The problem with working too hard

Working too hard is anti-productive. Life is a journey not a sprint so slow down, pace yourself!

The problem with working too hard is burn-out which results in getting little if nothing done.

Maryann has played volleyball for years and loves it. However this year, her junior year in high-school, she made a difficult decision and chose not to play. She felt it would allow her time to do things of higher value.

She told us that her decision has resulted in peace and satisfaction in her life. She is able to spend quality time with her family and friends, she went to the church girls camp over the summer, and is able to come to seminary every morning and is spiritually strengthened.

Make decisions that will result in a steady pace of life. Don’t work too hard or expend too much energy, just keep your life balanced and consistently move forward and you will then win the prize.

- DC 10:4, Mosiah 4:27
