My brothers and sisters, our time here is so precious and so short. How well I understand the prophet Jacob when he said, “Our lives passed away like as it were unto us a dream.10
All too soon, our time is finished. While we can—while we have the time to complete our work—let us walk in the right direction, taking one step after another.
That is easy enough. We don’t have to be perfect today. We don’t have to be better than someone else. All we have to do is to be the very best we can. – Joseph B. Wirthlin, “One Step after Another,” Ensign (CR) November 2001
