For a Better Life, Close the Gaps

We all want to make a difference. But just as you need to put on your own oxygen mask before helping other passengers on an airplane, getting your own life together is the first step to making a positive impact in the world. Franklin Covey cofounder Hyrum Smith shows that what stops us are gaps between where we are and where we want to be. The first is the Beliefs Gap, between what we believe to be true and what is actually true. The second is the Values Gap, between what we value most in life and what we actually spend our life doing. The third is the Time Gap, between what we plan to do each day and what we actually get done.

Smith offers a practical blueprint that we all can use to recognize and close each of these three gaps and illustrates how it can be done through inspiring true stories. The 3 Gaps provides the concepts and the tools needed to establish a solid foundation from which you can help make the world a better place.

The brand, as a tangible expression of a top performing culture, comes to life when its elements - including the mission - are taken off the wall and put into daily action at all levels and through all individuals in the organization.

**Updated Edition 08/09/17**
The Plan of Redemption is the central theme of all the scriptures and teachings of the prophets of God. The scriptures present this plan through a collection of epistles, stories, sermons, parables, allegories, hymns, histories, expositions, dialogs, anecdotes, dreams, visions and testimonials. As a result, it is difficult to get a clear and concise picture of this comprehensive plan for mankind. This book is an attempt to bring together in an orderly fashion as many of the relevant scriptures as possible, along with prophetic commentary when needed, in a way that will help the reader gain a better understanding of what this plan consists of, and his and the Redeemer's roles in it.
In the process of bringing together so much scripture and commentary a number of important points of doctrine surfaced that are often misunderstood or which have been overlooked by most LDS students of the scriptures. These items are discussed in the extended notes section at the end of each chapter.
Some of the questions considered in the book are:
- What is the relationship between God's honor and his power?
- What change to the earth took place on the seventh day of creation that made the earth fit for non-mortal beings?
- Were Adam and Eve given conflicting commandments in Eden?
- Did mankind suffer spiritual death because of Adam and Eve's transgression in Eden?
- What is the real meaning of conditional and unconditional redemption?
- What are the demands of justice and why is it impossible for man to satisfy them?
- How does the atonement overpower the demands of justice?
- How did Christ bear the sins of the world?
- What is the first death and who are redeemed from it and how is it done?
- Does the atonement cover the sins of people before they receive the gospel?
- What is the gospel and can it be received without ordinances?
- Are the gospel and its ordinances necessary for heirs of the lesser kingdoms of glory?
- What is the grace of God and when and how does it manifest in our lives?
- How is Christ both our judge and advocate?
- Will we all be judged according to the good and bad we do?
- What does it mean to be perfect in Christ?
- What does it mean to make your calling and election sure?

We all ask ourselves the question, ''''Has my life made a difference?'''' We want our lives to have meaning. We want to live balanced, productive lives in which we contribute through our work, our relationships, and our example to others. And we search for inner peace to deal with all of the chaos that exists in the world today. In this new book, Franklin Covey cofounder Hyrum Smith shows that the key to achieving a meaningful, fulfilling, and peaceful life is closing three gaps that we all struggle with. The first is the BELIEF GAP: the gap between what we believe to be true and what is actually true. The second is the TIME GAP: the gap between what we plan to do - our goals and dreams - and what we actually get done. The third is the VALUES GAP: the gap between what we value - what matters most to us - and what we actually do. Using inspiring true stories of people who have overcome difficult challenges, the author tells how to close each of these three gaps in our personal and work lives. Smith provides new understanding and tools to move from the life we currently have to the life we really want.
