Quote of the Day - "Reality"

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." –Albert Einstein

It's so easy to get caught up in career, school, hobbies, fashion, or just the day-to-day struggle to get stuff done. Some of these legitimately require a lot of our attention, but sometimes we forget that the things we spend most of our time and energy on aren't necessarily the most important ones. In the end, the only things we can take from this life are our family, the character we've developed, and our relationship with God. The rest is just details.

Like the talk from Dallin H. Oaks from conference on Good is Good but Better is best. It's a great talk on how we should be spending our time.http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-775-38,00.html
