Activly fighting for what you want!

This life is a time of trial and a time of dificulties! Sometimes we feel that we want to give up. Or that it is just easier to stop now so that way we dont fail in the future. Life is full of trials and difficulties.

But we cannot not give up!

When I first started my mission, it was hard. I did not think I could do it. I had made the discion to come on a mission. I had thought that I was mistaken in wanting to serve a mission. I saw a lot of weaknesses in myself and I didnt think that I was fit for the job. It is interesting at different times in our lives we are given a specific challenge in our lives we see ourselves as weak and incabable

There is so much that we can do with our lives and there is so much good we can do. We are not alone! feelings that we are not strong enough or that we will just fail in the future are not the words of God. Each and every one of us has so much potencial. We can shine, We can glorify God! We can be a source of light for those around us!

"Our Deepest Fear, is not that we are inaduate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves who am I to be Brillant, Gorgeuos, Talented, Fabulous? Actually who are you not to be? You are a child of God. You playing small does NOT serve the world. There is nothing enlighening about shriking so other peoplke won't feel insucure around you. We are all are meant to shine, as children of God do. We were born to make manifest the golry of God that is within us. Its not just in some of us its in everyone. And as we let our light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. as we are livrated from our fearm our presence AUTOMATICALLY  liberates others!"

I have been thinking alot about the different things in life that keep us from shining. Of the different things that stop us from being who we want to be and what we want to do. There are sooo many things in the world that tell us that we can not do it, that we can not succeed. It doesnt matter what specific thing that you area personally struggling with. Everyone is different and everyone has been given different challenges but I want to say that whatever your goal you can do it.

 Yoda once said "Those who have the desire find a way, those who don't find an excuse."

There is nothing that stops you from reaching your goal expect yourself. With God all things are possilbe!!!! I know this is true! God wants us to succeed and He will help us and we will be able to accomplish our goals IF we set these goals with our Father in Heaven.

Act and not to be acted upon.

Here is a quote that I found and I love it

I choose...

to live by choice not by chance

to make changes not excuses

to be

                 motivated, not manipulated                     

to be useful, not used

to excel, not to compete

I choose self esteem, not self pity

I choose to listen to my inner voice(the spirit)

and not he random opinions of others.

Our life that we have been given is a gorgoues one. It is a blessing and we have been given soo many gifts to help us succeed. I have learned sooo much on my mission so far and if I had given up then I would have lost all the blessings and the chance that I had to grow and prefect my character. I know that as we react to the different opportunities in our life with a good attitude and with a eternal prespective we will see our life and our self bloom!!
