“Some may say [journal keeping] is a great deal of trouble. But we should not call anything trouble which brings to pass good. I consider that portion of my life which has been spent in keeping journals and writing history to have been very profitably spent. - "If there was no other motive in view [except] to have the privilege of reading over our journals and for our children to read, it would pay for the time spent in writing it.” IfsShouldWritingMayChildrenHas BeensReadingViewsDealsPayTroubleOur ChildrenPrivilegeMotivePortionsJournalTime SpentKeeping A JournalWriting History Author:Wilford Woodruff
“Writing in a journal each day, with a structured, strategic process allows you to direct your focus to what you did accomplish, what you're grateful for, and what you're committed to doing better tomorrow. Thus, you more deeply enjoy your journey each day, feel good about any forward progress you made, and use a heightened level of clarity to accelerate your results.” FeelsWritingMadeUseProcessEnjoyLevelsResultsFocusProgressJourneyTomorrowDirectGratefulCommittedAccomplishFeel GoodClarityEach DayJournalStrategicAccelerateBetter TomorrowForward Progress Author:Hal Elrod
“The object is not so much to get you to keep a journal while you are young, as it is to get you to continue it after you become men and women, even through your whole lives. This is especially needed in the generation in which you live, for you live in as important a generation as the children of men ever saw, and it is far more important that you should begin early to keep a journal and follow the practice while you live, than that other generations should do so.” MenShouldChildrenImportantWholeYoungPracticeSawsGenerationsObjectsNeededMen And WomenWhole LifeJournalChildren Of Men Author:Wilford Woodruff

“Every man should write a brief history of his life: his parentage, his birth, his religion, when he was baptized and by whom, when ordained, what to, and by whom-give a brief sketch of all his missions and of all his official acts and the dealings of God with him. Then if he were to die and the historians wished to publish his history, they would have something to go by.” IfsMenGivingShouldWritingDiesBirthMissionsEvery ManOfficialsHistorianPublishDealingsBaptized Author:Wilford Woodruff
“I would advise you to get all of your blessings written and preserve them...I do feel to enjoin it upon you to make a record of every official act of your life. If you baptize, confirm, ordain, or bless any person or administer to the sick, write an account of it. If every man will do this, the Church can write a correct account of it...if the power and blessings of God are made manifest in your preservation from danger...you should make a record of it. Keep an account of the dealings of God with you daily. I have written all the blessings I have received, and I would not take gold for them.” IfsMenFeelsShouldWritingPersonsMadeChurchRecordsWrittenDangerBlessingGoldSickAccountsEvery ManPreservesOfficialsBlessManifestPreservationAdviseDealings Author:Wilford Woodruff
