A New Year for New Beginnings

2012 started off like any other new year, but we have no idea how it will finish. The way it finishes is up to us. We have the choice to either make it a good year or a bad year. There is many things going on right now in the world to start of the new year but many things we do not have control of. We choose how to handle the things we can control and we can determine the outcome of what we do by the choices we make. How do you want to live in 2012? What do you want to achieve in 2012? YOU choose the answer.

New Years is full of resolutions, goals that we want to achieve. Many people have goals like lose weight, get a better job, make more money, ect. Those are perfectly acceptable goals but after awhile some people lose sight of the goal. What if we reached higher and looked for a goal that would not last us through this year but for years to come? Have you thought about that?

There are many things that we can do this year. How much of a challenge do you want. There are some things out there that we can do that are a big challenge that also have a big reward. Here is an example of one. Enjoy what you have with the people you love. We live each day looking to expand on what we have already gotten. We look for better jobs, better cars, better home, more money, ect. What we should be doing is enjoying the things that we already have with the people we care about. Money and other worldly processions dont last forever, it is the memories we share with those we love that will last for eternity. We have the oppertuinity to put down our phone and spend time with our family. We can stop playing video game and enjoy time with your friends. The relationships we build will become stronger and last much longer. The friendships will be filled with happiness and joy. These are the moments that matter most.

Another thing we can do this year is stand up for what you truly believe in. There are many of us who sit in the shadows waiting for someone else to do what has to be done. There is so much that can be changed in this world and it may be waiting on you to act. You dont have to feel alone because you are not alone in the fight. When you rise, others will follow. Fight for what you believe.

Finally, look into the future. Do you know what will happen to us in the long run? There is hope out there for all of us in this uncertain world we live in. We are never alone as we live our daily lives. Our Heavenly Father is mindful of us all and he loves each one of us. It is a crazy world out there so have God on your side. With God on our side, we have nothing to fear in our future. We may face hardships and troubles but in the long run we will be lifted higher than ever before. There will be so much happiness and joy in our lives, its difficult for me to explain. This is who I am:

I invite you to take a look at my profile here on mormon.org and read about our faith here on mormon.org. I invite you to take a look and to start to read the Book of Mormon. Pray over the Book of Mormon to see if it is true. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and I invite to to discover it. My life is so much better since I have came to the Church. This is a new year, make it a good year. Life is good.
