"Paced progress not only is acceptable to the Lord but also is recommended by Him. Divine declarations say: ‘Ye are little children and ye cannot bear all things now’ (D&C 50:40); ‘I will lead you along’ (D&C 78:18). Just as divine disclosure usually occurs line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, so likewise we will achieve our spiritual progress gradually." (D&C 128:21; 98:12) (Neal A. Maxwell--"Men and Women of Christ" [1991], 23).

Thank heaven we don't have to kill ourselves to try getting "it all done". I'm so guilty of that pretty much all the time. Thanks for this!
I totally know what you mean! It really meant a lot to me to find this quote. "Paced Progress..." That may just become a personal mantra!
