 |
Embrace each day, no matter how
it looks, with an enthusiastic welcome.
|
|
Steer your thoughts away from
yourself and direct them, in gratitude and love, toward your Savior and your Heavenly
Father. This will help you overcome fatigue, despair, and physical sickness.
|
|
Choose to accept the challenges
that must be part of life. They can draw you closer to Heavenly Father and make you
stronger.
|
|
Feed your own spirit. It needs
constant nourishment.
|
|
Sacrifice your selfishness.
Meekness prepares you to receive the Spirit.
|
|
Put all frustrations, hurt
feelings, and grumblings into the perspective of your eternal hope.
|
|
Pause to ponder the suffering
Christ felt in the Garden of Gethsemane.
|
|
Realize that Heavenly Father
knows you are not perfect. He will give you comfort and suggestions of where to improve.
|
|
Understand that your Father in
Heaven knows better than you what you need. Listen, and follow the suggestions he makes,
even the uncomfortable ones. Over time everything will fall into place.
|
|
Fear the consequences of sin.
Flee the very appearance of evil.
|
|
Look into the eyes of those who
are hard to love, long enough to see them as children of God.
|
|
Forgive and you will be free
again.
|
|
Avoid pessimistic, negative, or
criticizing thoughts. On the road toward salvation let questions arise, but never doubts.
|
|
Avoid rush and haste and
uncontrolled words. Divine light develops in places of peace and quiet.
|
|
Serve with all your heart, might,
mind, and strength.
|
|
Be grateful for every opportunity
to serve.
|
|
Realize when you are asked to
sacrifice that Heavenly Father wants to give you something better. |
