If I knew that my life was coming to an end, the message I would share most with my family and loved ones would be messages about the gospel, Christ, righteous living, and the abundant spirit that comes into your life when you “do life right.”
Book of Mormon
26 And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall. And because that they are redeemed from the fall they have become free forever, knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given.
27 Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.
Powerful insights about pushing back against entropy and instead of letting life just happen to you, you are free to create the life you dream of! It’s one of the most important secrets to “doing life right”. We are free to act, rather than be acted upon. Life your life with integrity, drive, ambition, hope, faith, and vision! Chose to be happy and don’t let the adversary trick you into becoming miserable or living a life of misery. “Awake! and arise from the dust!” Be a light rather than a black hole that hides light! Remember that goodness, service, charity, kindness, and the like are all fruits of the spirit and they come into a persons life and heart when that person is lead by the Spirit. Seek for it everyday and it will guide your actions and guide your life. When you look back, you’ll be able to connect the dots of your life, but you cannot connect them looking forward– you can only connect them looking backwards.
