Thamk you Elder Maxwell. An apostle who speaks always in timeless messages of truth. His messages were always prepared to be aplicable to the current days
His words penetrated my soul because he describes so many ways in which I have been - and still am - so selfish. I really want to be less selfish, and I realize that sometimes it’s such a “natural” reaction in me to be selfish, that bringing the behavior to full consciousness requires constant effort that - because of my “nature” - I just don’t seem to even realize I need. Maybe it would be more helpful for my nature to focus less on trying not to be self-ish, and focus more on being self-less. I think I can be better at seeing it that way. It appears more proactive than reactive. Yeah. I think I’ll try that. Be proactively and intentionally selfless - taking care to not run faster than I have strength. I tend to struggle finding that balance. Self-preservation is not self-ish. That balancing act requires much introspection, humility and honesty. How did the Savior role model all this? I tend to run faster than I have strength, which one could say is a selfish behavior depending on what is the motivation for running faster than I have strength. Then I’m exhausted and no good to anyone ….. yeah. Great talk - great challenge - full of opportunity to serve others while learning temperance in all things ❤️ I’ll focus on being more self-less and more neighbor-ish. ❤️
You are so right. And his words penetrated my soul because he describes so many ways in which I have been - and still am - so selfish. I really want to be less selfish, and I realize that sometimes it’s such a “natural” reaction in me to be selfish, that bringing the behavior to full consciousness requires constant effort that - because of my “nature” - I just don’t arm to even realize I need. Maybe it would be more helpful for my nature to focus less on trying to be selfish, and focus more on being selfless. I think I can bed better at seeing it that way. It appears more proactive than reactive. Yeah. I think I’ll try that. Be protectively and intentionally selfless - taking care to not run faster than I have strength. I tend to struggle finding that balance. Self-preservation is not self-ish. That balancing act requires much introspection, humility and honesty. How did the Savior role model all this?
Just had a friend ask me why the church says the natural man is an enemy to God. I sent him this talk and deciding to remind myself. What an incredibly enlightening talk.
In this video is a man speaking by the power of God. This is what it means to be led by prophets, for when he speaks the Holy Ghost carries it to the heart of men, and the truth of his words are sealed on the hearts of those who will receive his words by the Holy Ghost. Thus those words are known to be true by those who will receive them by the power of the Holy Ghost, independently of any other man. They are delivered by the spirit of prophesy, for the spirit of prophesy is the testimony of Jesus, and those who will receive them by that same spirit are thus led by living prophets no differently than what is found in the scriptures. Indeed, as Moses said, would that every man in Israel were prophets.
Boy, do we ever miss essential messages like this in general conference! Imo, they've become much too soft and "flowery". It's been a long time since. Maybe since about 2008? How come? In our day, we need messages like Elder Maxwell's more than ever! Imo, we shouldn't have to go back 15+ years ago to find these.
reason the gospel to the virtue of reason of logic conversation but you cant have a logic conversation because you are so perfect ...only the devil will give you that concept of your character...it is better for a camel to enter in a nitle eye than a rich in the kingdonw of jeavens.... in the name of jesus amen.
Filia mia que mas que nada que sea celoso de el elvangelio de tengo arepentirme and the hordes of hired hands. Pero ya arepentimiento de ser selfish es algo que no se puede dejar. For me help me lord to submit willingly and to develop meekness . Nevertheless let me remember that I need to shed pride, selfishness..I need to put off this natural man and discover the family lord which you would have me have. Let go of the gospel of sex. Repent. Help me lord to overcome. Well then I must begin fasting and praying regulael
That mattress on the highway bit got me thinking. Man this guy was ahead of his time. Rest in peace to the goat 🐐
I can hardly fathom how wonderful this man is
He now reigns as a God.
On a clear day...
What an amazing treasure this discourse is.
Thank you for your wisdom, Elder Maxwell.
Amazing talk and needed today as well as in the past.
Thamk you Elder Maxwell.

He was one of my favorite speakers ever because he could with words paint a very clear picture of truth!
A wise and inspired teacher and leader. I will miss him for the rest of my mortal life. ❤️🕊
Why don't we hear talks like this anymore? It seems so relevant today!
I agree
❤ Neil A. Maxwell!
In 2001 he spoke to my mission one day, and our stake the next. It is easily one of the spiritual highlights of my life.
BrenttheGreat which mission?
We got to hear him at a stake conference in Yorktown New York in 2001.
Powerful and loving towards everyone.
Outstanding man of God.
I miss him!!!! Thanks for making it possible to still hear his wisdom!!!
Wow, what a man.
How blessed we were and are now to hear his words.
Neal Maxwell, amazing!
WOW, what a great speach!
He is my favourite 😊 I think he has it memorized! 😊
Amazing man
I just love this message from Elder Maxwell.

This is true, and some of the most happy and kind people I know are selfless.
Thank you for posting this. I love Elder Maxwell.
He tells it like it is. Sometimes, for some people, it is hard to hear his words. He speaks the truth, nevertheless.

Stings like rubbing alcohol. I guess it’s similar.

Anton Lavey and his followers do not approve this message.
The natural man IS GOD!! WTH
You must not have listened to the whole talk.
"The natural man is truly God's enemy"...he literally said the reverse.
