Stop It!

I have been reminded and uplifted by a talk given by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, of The First Presidency, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  I want some of what I learned to be a part of my post, today.
I work on a team, at my place of employment, just like many of you do, with people that are all very different.  At times it seems very difficult for me to tolerate either the way that do certain things, or the slow pace at which they work.  I find myself judging them because of the way they work.  I have been kindly reminded to accept people for how and who they are.
President Uchtdorf taught a two word sermon that is beneficial to me.  I believe that all people could benefit from such a sermon.  He taught us that if we are guilty are judging others wrongfully, or if we gossip, even if what we say might be true--Stop it!
My sincerest desire is to make a greater effort to do the things that I know to be right.  Be slow to judge others and be quick to identify and correct my own faults.  I know that my life will be greatly blessed by the implementation of the two word sermon.
I thank my Heavenly Father for His apostles and prophets who instruct me and help me to better my own life.  I am grateful for the knowledge I have of His great Plan of Happiness.  It is His Son that I am grateful to for providing the way, through His mission and His selfless atonement for me and all of humanity.
The reminder has been accepted and now I will apply it into my own life.
