The ABC's to Living the Abundant Life


Digging Deep:
Out of all the things I desire in this life, it seems to all comes down to my passion for freedom and happiness. I think all of us desire these whether we realize it or not. To be free to choose how we will live our lives. To experience joy in the journey as we overcome our fears and allow Love for the Lord, Love for ourselves, and Love for others to direct us out of the darkness and into the light.

At the beginning of this year, I read an article in the January 2012 Liahonna by President Thomas S. Monson. He spoke of the importance of "Living the Abundant Life". I had forgotten about this article, but now that I remember it, it is truly amazing to see the truthfulness of his words.


A = Have a Positive Attitude
B = Believe in Yourself
C = Face Challenges with Courage


"Courage becomes a worthwhile and meaningful virtue when it is regarded not so much as a willingness to die manfully but as a determination to live decently." -Pres. Thomas S. Monson

Now that 2012 is halfway over, I think it is important to pull out and review new year resolutions. See what you have accomplished and what you still need to work on. Make new goals. Dream, and then fight to make that dream become a reality. Never give up and endure well until the end. Finish stronger than how you started in all aspects of your life.

Like my dad would always say, PACE yourself in life:
Positive
Attitude
Changes
Everything

Believe in yourself and order yourself to be better because honestly, the only thing that holds you back from achieving your dreams is you. Be radiant and amplify the Light of Christ that lives within you.
