Don't Look Around, Look Up

*preface: I started writing this blog earlier this month
----------
What a crazy, humbling week it has been.
I've learned so much more about myself this week.
This week I have been looking forward to the #LDSgenconf
I've needed this refresher because of some personal things that I
have gone through recently.
----------
This past #generalconference I have been drawn to a talk
by an Area Seventy named Elder Yoon Hwan Choi.
I'm not exactly sure of the name of his talk but
the quote that he quoted in it "Don't Look Around, Look Up" 
really struck a spiritual cord with me.

I will be the first to admit that I'm not always
the best person to look up.
I'm constantly worrying about my image
and what people are thinking about me.
I know that I shouldn't and there are more days now,
where I don't think about it but some days just creep in where
I do worry.
It's important to realize we should never worry about how the world
see's us.

I don't want to seem all selfish but I believe that Elder Choi's talk
was especially for me.

It's important to realize that the only person we should
be worrying about judging you is our loving Heavenly Father.
He is there to support us and love us.
He wants us to do well in this life so that we can return
and live with him in our next life.
I know that if you trust in Him and live as He says we should
live we can return to Him.

Life isn't always going to be roses
but if we remember to Look Up then
we have to start believing that things
will get better.

Even in Hard Times

As we get older we learn life isn't always doughnuts and milkshakes. Life is hard, being a product member of society is hard. Sometimes I think that we are hard too hard on ourselves. We never let ourselves take a break and just rejoice in the wonderful life that we are living. Sometimes we all are busy, we all have families, school, evening activities that we use to try and replace the brokenness we feel in our hearts sometimes. Some of us have felt the brokenness for quite a while now but others are just now starting to feel it. (now I'm not saying all of our lives are broken but admit it you have felt sad in your life about something). So how do we truly fix this? How do we unmask ourselves and start to really feel better about our lives? I believe that we should start by looking in the mirror and realizing we are doing the best that we possibly can. If it helps get a dry erase marker and right on your mirror something positive. Here are some ideas you could...

2016: A Year of Learning and Thankfulness

2016. This year has definitely been a year of learning. Learning who I am and who I'm suppose to become. I've learned this year that I can do anything that I set my mind to do and that I just need possible.  I'm not who I was a year ago and I've learned to be okay with that. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm a totally different person than I was even two years ago. I've learned that life goes on. And I've learned that things don't always go as planned. I've learned that things happen for a reason and that things happen in Heavenly Father's time, not ours. I've learned that our plans don't always go accordingly and to be grateful for every moment because we won't be able to get those moments back. This year I've also learned to be thankful. Thankful for my family, who support me, in every decision I make. Thankful for my warm home on winter nights and a cool home on those warm July days. I'm th...
