Getting All Churchy For A Sec

My dad sent me the link to this video on Facebook this morning.  It has some of my favorite music in it :/ and is a comparison of life to running a marathon.  "How many people would sign up for a marathon if they didn't think they could really finish it?"  I know it is directed to the youth and that I'm....not technically "the youth" anymore.  I'm TWENTY-ONE, an adult, it freaks me out, shouldn't I have my life all figured out and onto the next step by now?  Nope, sorry.  It's not that I'm "coasting", I know that I'm still progressing towards bigger and better things but I also am content with where I am right now and who I'm becoming.  Even when I hit frustrating experiences I don't feel stuck in a rut.  I came to Earth just like you did because "we must have thought we could pass the test."  And we can, you will.  So please appreciate this encouraging and heartfelt side of me because it's not likely to come out on my blog very often.

They have the best words of advice.

decisions

school is here. i'm a junior and i'm rushing a greek sorority, i feel old. but with xi gone i don't really know what else to get involved in. i have the opportunity to help open up a chapter of alpha phi at the u, or step into a house that is already built up. don't know what to do. rush was fun, besides the fact that i had a permasmile just to mask my pain of being in the heat and sunlight for 8 hours. ahhhhhhh it was awful.

just a few random quotes i've heard lately that have been good:

"He who takes offense when it is intended is a fool. He who takes offense when none is intended is a greater fool."
Brigham Young

The Abundance Mentality, learn about it. Let everyone be important in your life.

einstein

einstein was genius. once you hit a "milestone" in your life don't celebrate or relax for too long, you'll get stuck in a rut. or things that are important will begin to seem unimportant and vice versa. start progressing towards your next goal, because relying on success of the past can only make you feel or appear successful for so long.

character

‎"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." - John Wooden
