Hapiness in your Journey

I believe and trust in Heavenly Father; he knows what is better for us, and He is sending us His blessings all the time.  He is so patient, and His love is without measure.  He wants us to be happy and to have joy in our journey. He only wants us to listen to the spirit and obey His commandments.  How can we do that? Just taking the time to meditate, pray, serve others, and read the scriptures so we can stay in tune with the spirit. When can we do this? At any time when you are alone (it can be early in the morning - serving others during the day).  Making the time for Him is a must!

Our most must precious blessing - Our family

For the past seven days, I have been blessed to have my family together—all my children and grandchildren—for Christmas time. I pictured these scenes over and over in my mind weeks ago, and I prayed for this to happen. I can tell you that God listens to our prayers, and I think that all of us prayed for the same thing because it did happen.

Besides the gifts and happy moments that Christmas brings, gathering all the family together to enjoy each other's company is the most precious blessing. When there is love in the family, we can all be flexible and cooperative just to be together. Sacrifices have been made for the whole purpose of being together.

The Measure of your Beauty

There is a special thought about beauty: It is not the outside but the whole package that counts (inside and outside) that will define the word "beauty."  Beauty comes from being complete, from glowing from inside to outside.  Most of the time, we beat ourselves to look beautiful outside, but we don't do anything to feed our minds and thoughts.  If we put the same interest that we do into developing a talent or reading good books that will enhance our knowledge and learn wisdom, we will soon feel that our lives are changing little by little for the better.  We will feel that we are growing in wisdom and that we are obtaining knowledge of things that will help us daily.

Developing Self-esteem

One of the most important things a person brings to a relationship is how he feels about himself - his self-esteem. Self-esteem is essential in our relationships. Experts in this subject said that children are more receptive when they feel good about themselves. When you feel good about yourself, your motivation is higher, and you become more involved in everything you do. You feel positive! Nothing will stop you from achieving your goals.

Believe in Yourself

Believe in Yourself! You are the most important person in the whole world! You have the power within you to accomplish everything you put your mind to. You came from a Divine Father and Mother in Heaven, so you have what you need to believe that you can make it. You are not alone!

I believe that when there is a challenge, there is an opportunity to grow. If you want to be happy and enjoy life, please accept the challenges with gratitude because, through them, you will discover your gifts and talents. Remember, you have the seeds of a loving Father and the power within you to reach success. Success in life is not only money or a career but the journey of doing things a little bit better every day.

Being Positive

Looking for the bright side of life is the best way to see life. Having hope and faith that everything will work out will make us feel peace in our hearts and will enable us to see life in a different way...a positive way.

Back in March of 2008 a co-worker told me that I'm a "happy person" and that she will like to be like me. I was in shock! I didn't realize I cause that impression to others. For me, that is a way of leaving. Having to raise 5 children teaching them good values, you have to be positive. You want them to know that life is good.

Overcoming Trials and Challenges in Life

Through experiences, I learned that we can overcome all kinds of trials and challenges by accepting them as a way to grow spiritually and temporally and having a positive attitude.

When I was young, I didn't want to accept that I had a challenge. I saw it as a "problem" or a "punishment" for something I thought I did wrong. Until I accepted that challenges were part of my life as a way for me to develop my creativity and talents, I couldn't overcome them.

We must accept that we will have trials and challenges in our lives, some of which will be consequences of a decision we made and some just because we need to grow spiritually and temporarily.

Improving Lives

Can you imagine living positively, overcoming challenges, and experiencing joy and happiness? We can have a little bit of heaven on earth, don't you think?
