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.
