October 9, 2009 If we concentrate too intently

[pam]

“If we concentrate too intently on our obvious earthly methods or objectives, we can lose sight of our eternal goals, which the Apostle [Paul] called ‘things … not seen.’ If we do this, we can forget where we should be headed and in eternal terms go nowhere. We do not improve our position in eternity just by flying farther and faster in mortality, but only by moving knowledgeably in the right direction.”

Dallin H. Oaks, Ensign, Jan 2001, 13
