I'm going to write a list full of goals that I am going to work towards in order to make my life better. I am the only one to can control how I feel and I am strong enough to not let negative things get to me like they did a few posts ago. "Come what may and LOVE it! No matter what happens I can enjoy life and find the good in everything. Now on to that list....
Goals in my pursuit of happiness:
1) SMILE! I'm normally really good in this area, but I've noticed lately that I've been lacking. I am going to smile all the time. Smile when I'm feeling sad, angry, confused, alone... Smiles can only do good and I need good in my life.
2) TRUST IN GOD. Try not to solve everything myself and put my whole heart and life in God's hand and let Him lead.
3) BREATHE! When life isn't going planned, just sit down and breathe.
4) CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY. Enjoy life -- the life I have now. I can only live this life once and I will only be this age once. Stop looking to the future and hoping for this I do not have. Instead of wishing, go forward living life and preparing myself now for the things to come.
5) DON'T ENVY! I look at others happiness and envy what they have. In the words of Dieter F. Uchtdorf... "Stop it!" I have an amazing life even if I'm not married, or have children, or have a home of my own. I still have so many blessing that I need to be grateful for. Those stages of life will come when I am ready. If I try to control what happens in my life and plan out every single thing, I will and always am disappointed. Have goals, but remember its Gods timing an not mine. Keep my head up and be happy. My time will come.
6) 20 SECONDS OF COURAGE! When good things come into my life, but I am just too chicken to do anything about it I am going to take 20 seconds and do it! I am never going to go anywhere in my life if I do not take chances or move forward. What is the worst that can happen, right?
7) TRUST EVERYONE! I'm not saying trust people that should not be trusted. I'm just saying trust people that deserve it. Not every guy is going to break my heart. Yes, some will, but how will I find the one that wont if I don't let them get close enough to find out. Even if they do break my heart, God is always there to heal my heartache. The Atonement is not just for sin -- -it can heal my pains, too.
End of goals for now. More to come.
