What I needed to hear at this moment in my life.


Right now, I'm very busy with many things. I’m working hard, studying, saving money, and also dreaming about starting a business one day. I have big goals. I plan build a future with strong foundation. With all these things, sometimes it’s hard to find balance.

But in Jan Newman’s message, I learned something powerful: don’t forget what really matters most — God and family.

He said that many people get too busy and cut time from church or family. But that’s a mistake. We can’t let our job, money, or success take the place of the Lord or the people we love. He shared that even when you are building a company, you should still say “yes” to church callings. If you are too busy for God, then something is wrong with your priorities.

One thing that really stayed in my heart was this:

“The Lord doesn’t need you to make money; he needs you to do your home teaching.”

Wow. That really made me stop and think. God cares more about our hearts, our service, and our loyalty than our business or job title. It reminds me that success is not just about money. It’s about being faithful, being honest, and being present for your family.

He also talked about how your real legacy is not your business, but your family and your example. That’s the kind of person I want to be. I don’t want to build a company but lose my soul. I want to grow something meaningful, with the Lord guiding me step by step.

So now, I’m thinking more seriously about my life plan. Yes, I want to start a business for extra income. But I also want to build strong faith, a strong family, and a good life with balance. I will make sure I spend time with the people I love and always keep my loyalty to God.

Thank you, Jan Newman, for your wise words. I hope more people can hear this message too. It’s not just for Latter-day Saints — it’s for anyone who wants to live with purpose and peace.

 “Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.” – Matthew 6:33

Strength Through the Struggle

“Don’t you quit. You keep walking. There is help and happiness ahead.”     – Elder Jeffrey R. Holland I was deeply moved by the powerful messages shared through videos and readings. As someone balancing work, school, and personal growth, these lessons felt personal—like they were meant for me right now. Carrying On, Even When It’s Hard Elder Holland’s story “Good Things to Come” touched my heart. The young father in the story reminded me of myself doing all he can with limited resources, holding on to hope and walking back and forth just to keep going. That message, “Some blessings come soon. Some come late. But they come,” reminds me that it’s okay if my progress is slow. As long as I keep trying, I am moving forward. Faith + Effort = Progress The video “You Can Do Anything” inspired me with the story of Nephi, who was faithful even when others doubted him. I often feel unsure about my ability to succeed in business or school, especially with so many responsibilities. But thi...

Do something to help, support, and grow together in the community then stay and never too easy to think to give up early.

Speech called “Three Lessons About What It Means to Be an Entrepreneur” by Wences Casares, and I have to say  it touched me very deeply. It’s not just words. It’s real. I feel like he was speaking about my me, and even my future. Wences said that being an entrepreneur is not something we choose; it is something we are. I really understand that. Sometimes I try to relax, but my brain is still thinking about ideas, new plans, small businesses, how to solve problems. Even when I’m busy with work, study, or saving money, I always have these ideas in my mind. I don’t do it only to earn money. I feel I was born for this. I feel it in my heart. That’s why when he said, “You don’t change. That’s what you are,” I felt like, yes, that’s me too. He also talked about how time is more valuable than money. I learned from my experience—I work very hard, I save money, I plan for a future business, and I have many dreams. But now I understand it’s not only about fast money or quick success. It’s ab...
