Accomplish Your Goals Through Small and Simple Things

As disciples of Jesus Christ, we have an innate desire to be better. Instead of trying to reach your goal all at once in a burst of energy, break down into small and simple steps that remain consistent over time. For, “by small and simple things are great things brought to pass” (Alma 37:6)

I needed this today. I’m not a Mormon (I’m Catholic) but we can all learn a lot from a tortoise. We often hear the advice that life isn’t a sprint but a marathon. The same can be said about our goals.

[@gallenreidhead202]

Thank you for sharing. This is excellent - even for a Senior at 70. For me, I like slow and steady! 😊💖

[@AkunBebas100]

Amen🙏❤sir

[@noeoleole6911]

It's true, we can learn a lot from a tortoise. I am grateful we can also learn from each other ❤

[@ReaganVFilms]

Same here as a Catholic.

[@guardianangel9517]

Nice to have my Catholic brothers and sisters here💞🙏🏻 God bless!

[@charcW8850]

The initial burst of energy and face plant shortly after is the story of my life! This was very good

[@BettyHorn]

Me too!

[@aubreyhansen6147]

Same! This was a very good, comforting video

[@guardianangel9517]

Good ideas😉 It's easy to get overwhelmed when looking at EVERYTHING at once, but small bits at a time brings peace.

[@michaeljamesfitzgerald8142]

This was very helpful-and realistic. Thank you!

[@justthomas2488]

Optimistic and realistic!

[@thegasmask8736]

Thank you very much

[@kambrose3339]

Thank you

[@randyvoss2331]

One thing that stood out to me was the story of watering a plant. Dumping a lifetime of water on a plant would not be good. Watering enough for each time period, say, 1 time per week is good, depending upon the plant. Daily scripture study, especially of The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ, is essential to gaining Eternal Life. And as President Benson says, ..all things will fall into place. True. I am grateful for this video. The gal got up when she fell - so important to do; to try again and again until success is achieved. #GiveThanks #LightTheWorld

[@sorellaoliver]

Love it! By small and simple things, great things are accomplished! ♥️

[@sk8erkenny]

2021 goals here we come ;)

[@annemolino7325]

Truth!

[@YuliaRushworth]

I love this type of content. It is so relevant to our lives, short, clear and showing specifically how gospel principles apply to specific scenarios in our lives.

[@soniamessinger3086]

Doing small and simple things really adds up in the long run. We just need to keep trying each day and not give up.

[@rowselwrites9837]

I needed this today...

[@theslowwalker]

This video is a blessing - now to apply what I have gleaned.

[@katherinem.4414]

We have time for working on just one thing at a time….I have discovered that, and I am 65, and have lots to work on after illness, when I fell back into bad habits. Now I just need to use more discipline and determination to get back to where I was. One step at a time!!

[@ketliej.gilmore9332]

Good!

[@areascoda2912]

Great video

[@theknittingmusician1109]

This could not have popped up in my recommended at a better time :)

[@robertdumaicos4720]

Yeah thats true you gotta do it

[@dawn8293]

This is so practical! Learn about the way you accomplish goals and do it.

[@noskalborg723]

And so we bring all good things together in Christ.

[@NotMrDiego]

Wow thanks.

[@tiosbelhernandez1893]

I loved it! I needed it, too. Thanks a lot!

[@jamesbernards8409]

Just listened to the Jordan Peterson talk about the Tao Te Ching and the wisdom of doing the appropriately minimal amount of action over time. To then see it here and to get a clear image and strong feelings of confidence on the issue gives me feelings of gratitude and excitement. Thank you for this lil nugget of gold.

[@saraha117]

Just what i needed today😀

[@kathleensmith8969]

Cute video - great advice 🙏👍

[@happymomali]

So grateful you created and posted this. Just let my ADD brain needs!

Perfect Verse for this, thank you!👍💗Alma 37:6.

[@sherimmari9845]

Thank you! ❤️

[@alexandercapelo2338]

Thankyou so much for inspiring us!💖💗❣️

[@moroniafrifa614]

Amazing! The small things indeed strengthen us to achieve the righteous goals we set.

[@glock19gen3]

Very much needed this! Thank you

[@makayelangatipa1597]

❤️❤️❤️ needed this

[@PatrernRealm]

These gaps are bridges by obedience to small and simple patterns of success aGod has made for us. My spiritual goal this year is better understanding the gift and presence of the Holy Ghost

[@ShirleyT.C.V.]

Thanks.. I really need this!! Is amazing..

[@stormythelowcountrykitty8463]

Well said

[@bradstoddard3112]

I 💕 this video.

[@nicklarson657]

Needed this today. It gives me courage & better vision. I love it!

[@jaredwalley5692]

The what, when, and where sounds like a set of guesses in Clue. It's a good video.

[@aaron953]

I just love this video. I'm so grateful I chose to watch this videos insted of random KZbin videos

[@shellsayaingeluo9526]

I needed this 😌😇

[@erikaburdeos1131]

Lately, I have been feeling lost and uncertain on how to reach my goals. Then I came across this amazing video! Small and simple but very meaningful. This is the answer to my prayers. I thank God for His love for us. Truly, He knows our needs and always gives them at the right moment and time. I couldn't be happier! ❤🙏

[@fogaraterd9720]

Dios es amor

[@claireweekly8681]

God knows what we really need. It's 12:42AM in the Ph. I was being inactive and just feel lethargic. But I always believed I like me better with God - for I am better with Him. VIDEOS LIKE THIS ARE SIMPLE AND SHORT BUT IT MEANS A LOT TO ME. The shorter, the more I can internalize the message. Thank you creator! ✨

[@mssn3166]

Thank you! I needed this very much. What a blessing!

[@mercedesangel6700]

I've always wanted to play piano for the services on Sundays. I started when I was finishing the college. It was so hard to study, graduate and get piano lessons because I was so bad at piano. After, I started to work and it was more complicated dedicate time for piano. I got frustated and quit for a time. Some time after I asked a brother who was married, had a child, work, calling and more how he had achieve to play piano so nicely. He aswered "20 min a day" he told me before he went to school and while his mother prepared for going out he played only 20 min a day. From that moment I applyied that, and now I can see a nice progress.

[@danrosales7615]

Thanks!

[@crisjanedelossantos7042]

Thank you for this❤️❤️❤️

[@Ellie-jz6yu]

i love this so so much this is the guide i was asking for, for years

[@weirdTiKii01]

This video came right on time! The topic of divine discontent has become more meaningful to me as I've continued to learn about it in relation to my own life and actions. Taking small actions can be overwhelming for me, but I'm constantly learning that there is no harm to start now, and that in fact, it will help me, and my family, get a bit closer to the joys we want, now and in the future.

[@pattywalser2627]

Great visuals and ideas of how to simplify and reach goals!

[@apersonaltouch]

Great advice & reminders!

[@Kunthea_Gamora]

Actually, this video is saying to me now! I love this video!

[@katherinem.4414]

You know, there are a lot of good people in the world 🌎…..I see them all over KZbin!! I see you here, and I see you on other channels too!!

[@kambrose3339]

I have my own book to write but will always support your work and appreciate the knowledge you share ✌

[@mspinkbubbles94]

I came back to rewatch. It's a great vid, now to go apply what I learned.

[@Edwahlq]

I really needed this today 💕

[@gingerjimenez9987]

❤️❤️❤️

[@deborahkahanu]

I needed to hear this ❤️

[@melissacheckland8243]

This was just what I needed today. I love these videos, keep 'em coming.

[@frederickherz1911]

Before you may think that what I'm going to say is useless, I do think that God called me to this video because I stepped outside and asked after I watched a video about the rapture coming soon and how I'm not devoted entirely yet, and I asked the Lord to help me out with this problem, and I went inside, and I had another need for social skills because I have Asperger's and I am desperate for a realistic and fulfilling relationship that is pure and innocent. If you have come to this video and somehow come to this comment, be patient as the video wants you to be, but also be prepared.

[@lukedav]

great advice!!

[@natewatts1520]

This is great!!!! I need to definitely take it easy a little bit more. I think I overwhelm myself a lot.

[@marclucas9701]

Really needed this today. This is very helpful.

[@ChristianZiya]

This was so so helpful ♥️

[@girlgangdrawing-qj5gn]

lovely vid 1

[@sandstorm7476]

Great advice. It really does work.

[@PJ-mb3ue]

I needed this, thanks!

[@MargieM10]

That's a really tall turtle!

[@carlyhill5286]

I really needed this and you explained it perfectly thank you💗

[@kyleflamm4780]

This should be required learning for everyone! I either feel like I'm standing still or try to drink from the fire hose!

[@jovanmagtoto1682]

a good video, inspiring us to set goals and plans on how to achieve our goals in life. One at a time.

[@SadieRTrego]

this is such an awesome message this helps a lot 😊❤

[@jacobchurchwardtruered116]

Use the 70% rule. Only do 70% of your capability.

[@andrewr.ludlow2722]

Someone's been reading from Atomic Habits by James Clear, I think? It's the best book I've read on habits.

[@ForeverYoung-hc4sv]

Yes! I love that book!

[@simmonloire3429]

Awweeeesssoooommmeeee😊

[@ReaganVFilms]

Any person trying to be or try to be a KZbinr no matter what religion you choose or are you in, Follow the LDS process (I’m a catholic) but The Church of Latter Day Saints seems to explain things much clearly and being a slow turtle or similar take that step don’t care about anyone that seems to make fun of you or whoever it is for not doing something fast enough. Take your time but not too much time.

[@Alamobe]

Glad we could be of service!

[@ivaxnog6157]

Cool

[@ajmerz276]

Does anyone else want a pet turtle after seeing this?

[@GrowthnGod]

I believe Divine Discontent is a term coined by the late Christian Monk Thomas Merton, not an LDS church leader or speaker.

[@adinashaina9977]

AM I DISCONTENT? WHAT ARE MY ABILITIES? WHAT CAN I DO AT THIS MOMENT? IS A NAP WHAT I NEED? i guess it's nap time

[@jamesfowler4734]

Wow !!! What a great video. Not a super accurate depiction of a tortoise though.

[@robertdumaicos4720]

Because my plant when i put water on it I accidentally spilled it🤣

[@adinashaina9977]

"remain consistent over time" ..and that's where I'm out. Not all of us have that ability! Those who can hold jobs are amazing people, able to awaken regularly every morning. They don't wake up months later having missed a season.

[@aydanlundy9481]

Isaiah 44:8 “…is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.” We can know with confidence that Joseph Smith was a false prophet because he said that there is a plurality of Gods. Repent and flee from the LDS. Come to the true Jesus Christ of the Bible.

[@traxstaromega3467]

Where's my turtle!? Tortoise

[@martinsanchez1474]

So sad to see how we tend to think that this issue is only applicable to women

[@wxxr9095]

I have a question (I’m not LDS): you’re calling yourselves brothers and sisters i’m assuming because we’re all part of the family of God. My question is what do you call your non-binary Family members?

[@jeanlikesart376]

You are correct in your brother and sister assumption. The church believes our gender is a define gift of God. However, we also understand that the feelings of everyone who is non-binary or otherwise are legitimate and real. If a non-binary member were to come along people would/should refer to them as whatever different term they prefer. Perhaps Sibling?

[@cherylfitch2693]

By the appropriate honorific. Mother, mom, mama, father, dad, daddy, brothers & sisters, by their names, etc. Hope that helped.

[@TuhljinTampergauge]

LDS or not, every Christian ought to know Genesis 1:27. Now connect the dots using basic biological science, instead of pseudoscience and the Orwellian redefinition of terms.

[@00Fisher00]

"Brother" and "Sister" are common terms of address and what everyone is used to. You can see official Church policy at www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/general-handbook/38-church-policies-and-guidelines?lang=eng#title_number118. One paragraph states, "If a member decides to change his or her preferred name or pronouns of address, the name preference may be noted in the preferred name field on the membership record. The person may be addressed by the preferred name in the ward."

[@cubicinfinity2]

I don't like this video style that much. It's like what corporations make and it's just harder for me to listen to.

[@euniceangelafelipe3918]

❤️❤️❤️

[@RareFoodsMarket]

My goal is to own a pet tortoise like the lady in this video. What: Own a pet tortoise. When: Now. Where: In my house.

[@josephhoman5084]

I don't think that's exactly what they ment but it's a good start

[@mrmeep2047]

Awesome goal

[@adedow1333]

Just be sure to decide now which of your kids is going to inherit the tortoise. They're fabulous creature that live for a really long time! I hope you actually get one!

[@WatchingNinja]

It's been 5 days. Have you accomplished it yet?

[@ky-zz1ym]

😂

[@CatonaWall175]

Good advice. I used to be a runner but have not ran for over 25 years so I am walking 5-6 mile every other morning to lose belly fat and strenghten my legs. I know that in a couple of months I will be running that 5-6 mile and then competitive races ! Wow such purpose and fun but I am really enjoying the walking like the winter Sun this morning was so lovely. Thanks and have a great life.

[@uglyduckling8332]

I'm not a mormon tho but I get the idea of this message

[@meowmeowchan1724]

Wow, I did know that there was an actually term for this emotion that I’ve been feelings for years, thank you identifying it and ways to help me move past it.

[@brentspencer]

Elder Maxwell packed his talks with a lot of terms like that, and typically used alliterations like that to do it; he was one of my favorites!

[@meowmeowchan1724]

Brent Spencer I’ll have to check him out, thanks!

[@Kristyn770]

The divine discontent phrase came from Michelle Craig’s talk with the same name in the Oct 2018 general conference in case you want to read the whole talk! It’s a really good one!

[@alyssajoy2670]

i love this video !! i’ve always felt like i need to accomplish my goals right away, so this video helped me realize i should take small steps every day! very helpful, thank you🥰

[@esterbrito3243]

Always what I need! Preparing for a mission can be a confuse time, but doing small things is the key. So excited to do this!

[@sillysauce55]

:D

[@angelazeman1375]

I am going to use this for a family home evening lesson. I hope it helps my children to see that goals can be exciting and manageable instead of immense and hard.

[@kuyalems]

I think for me It is better than listening to motivational videos, this is more details , specific and realistic

[@channelletuhi]

I loved this video!! Exactly what i needed. I have been reading the scriptures and also the Ensign and what i have learnt is that the Lord loves us and reveals to us what he needs to know line upon line, precept upon precept. He does not want to overwhelm us. So grateful for the leaders and teachings of the gospel in my life ♥️😁🙏🏽
