Find Time to Cultivate your Gifts and Interests

Are you caught in the repetitive schedule of every day, and you are exhausted at the end of each day, rest up and start all over the next day.  Maybe it is timer for you to find personal purpose in each day.  Reach down inside and find the things that you love and enjoy.  Think about your interests or desires, and take some time each week to enjoy your interests.  This will create energy and a love for life like no other. 

Elder M. Russell Ballard gave some excellent counsel,  "Even as you try to cut out the extra commitments in your life, find time for yourself to cultivate your gifts and interests.  Pick one or two things that you would like to learn or do that will enrich your life, and make time for them.  Water cannot be drawn from an empty well, and if you are not setting aside a little time for what replenishes you, you will have less and less to give to others, even to your children."
