When thinking of this topic it made me really sad. It is like talking to your parents about their will: straight up depressing. I don’t really like to think about dying but when I have to there are many things I would like to say as my last words. First off, I would hope that I have lived my life to its fullest, savoring every last memory and moment. LIfe is too short to take for granted. In the scheme of things, however, our life here on earth is nothing compared to an eternal prospective. It is like an inch on a a string that runs on for miles. My last advice to everyone here would be to not focus on the bad things in life but to cherish the good things. I often find myself thinking about all of my hardships and struggles that I forget to recognize the blessings in my life. I begin to let life slip out of my fingertips and become much more negative. We always need to be optimistic and never let our trials bring us down. Heavenly Father gives them to us to strengthen our testimonies and make us stronger as a person. If we are positive and focus on the blessings in our lives we will realize Heavenly Father’s and Jesus Christ’s hand in our lives. They are always here for us and we must be examples to the world with a bright hope and faith that everything will work out according to their plan for us. I guess what I am trying to say is life is what you make it :)
I completely agree that it is important to remember your blessings. Gratitude brings so much happiness into my life. I notice a significant difference in my life when I try to be grateful and thankful for the good things in my life.
ReplyDeleteAll of us are so freakin blessed it's ridiculous not be grateful and to focus on all those great things.
ReplyDeleteI agree that we all need to be more positive in our dealings with situations. In a world of so much negativity, we should all focus on being a little more positive and happy.
ReplyDeleteWe do all need to focus more on the positive things on life and not dwell on the bad, especially if we can't control it. I have really taken this to heart in college. When I receive a bad grade I just have to tell myself that this will pass and that things will get better.
