Some Inspiration for the New Year!

When we make a focus to be better, to do better, to become better, we are blessed with better experiences, friends, memories in the future. 

I was talking to my mom a little while back about how we are always worried about the past or the future and we find it hard to actually "live in the moment".  She told me something interesting about the future....

She said, "The future doesn't actually belong to us because it is based off of decisions that we are making RIGHT NOW."

We can't concern ourselves with the future, when there is no certainty in it. The only certainty we have is right now.

I have faith and hope for a future that is full of blessings and good things, but I also have to remind myself that I cannot expect things to ALWAYS happen the way that I want them to. 

This quote was posted on Facebook by a friend and I thought it to be absolutely brilliant.

“Maybe this year, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives not looking for flaws, but looking for potential.” 

My biggest goal is to look for ways to improve myself each day from the previous day. I find one thing that I didn't like and I make a change. 

I be better. I do better. I try.

Day 3

Ok, so I typed up day 3 on my phone last night, but it didn't post.

Silly technology ;)

Well Today (aka yesterday) I am grateful people that uplift and inspire, especially my Stake President.
I cannot begin to describe how wonderful stake conference was this past weekend. There were a lot of things that I needed answered and I received them. I was also reprimanded for things that I have done in the past and I am grateful they were brought to my attention so I can make things right again.
Seeking after the good once more has brought me closer to my Heavenly Father. I am continuously grateful for the testimonies of those around me. They lift me up in ways that I do not fully comprehend yet.
