If there is anything in your life you need to consider, now is the time.
We live in a world of information overload, dominated by ever-increasing distractions that make it more and more difficult to sort through the commotion of this life and focus on things of eternal worth.
Assessing our lives gives us an opportunity to step back from the world, reflect on where we stand on the covenant path, and, if necessary, make adjustments to ensure a firm grip and a forward gaze.
In assessing things in our lives that need to change, we might ask ourselves a practical question: How do we rise above the distractions of this world and stay fixed on the vision of eternity before us?
“We have to forego some good things in order to choose others that are better or best because they develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen our families.” – Dallin H. Oaks “Good, Better, Best”
The best things in this life are centered on Jesus Christ and understanding the eternal truths of who He is and who we are in our relationship with Him.
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Understanding our divine origins is essential to our eternal progress and can free us from the distractions of this life.
President Joseph F. Smith proclaimed, “The greatest achievement mankind can make in this world is to familiarize themselves with divine truth, so thoroughly, so perfectly, that the example or conduct of no creature living in the world can ever turn them away from the knowledge that they have obtained.”
“If we are to have any hope of sifting through the myriad of voices and the philosophies of men that attack truth, we must learn to receive revelation.” Quoting Russell M. Nelson
