"There is not a man or boy in this vast congregation tonight who cannot improve his life. And that needs to happen. After all, we hold the priesthood of God. If we are boys who have received the Aaronic Priesthood, we are entitled to the ministering of angels to guide and direct, to bless and protect us. What a remarkable and wonderful thing that is. If we have had conferred upon us the Melchizedek Priesthood, we have been given the keys of the kingdom that carry with them eternal powers. These were spoken of by the Lord when He laid His hands upon the heads of His disciples."
(Gordon B. Hinckley, "Rise Up, O Men of God," Ensign, Nov. 2006, 60)
I have been thinking alot lately about ways that I can and should improve my life. Every once in a while, it is good to take an inventory of your life and see if you are on a path that will lead to your ultimate desired destination.
That being said, I am trying to make improvements in the following areas:
- Improve Physical Fitness
- Start using the elliptical sitting in my family room
- Perhaps start something like p90x
- Improve Spirituality
- Begin Reading Scriptures in the am
- Pray more regularly
- Continue with family history work in the temple
If I am able to make progress in these areas, I think I will find more satisfaction in everyday living. I also believe that I would be better able to serve in my callings at church and find greater peace. I challenge anyone who reads this to similarly take a look at your life and see where you have room to improve. In so doing, I am confident that you will be better able to achieve your goals and live a richer, more meaningful life.
