~Room for Improvement~

With all the trials we face in our lives, I've become more aware of just how powerful the Adversary is. The world is becoming more wicked by the second and I have become a little fearful of what the future might bring. I know we are taught not to live in fear and have hope...so, yesterday I was sitting in church listening to a beautiful piano solo and the thought came to my mind..."I am doing what I should be doing, but I can improve!" I've decided to make a list of things that I do, but can improve on them. One thing is that I sometimes look at the negative in a situation, rather than looking at the opportunity to learn from it. This one will probably take me years to master, but I think it starts by being aware of when I'm being negative and controlling those thoughts and focus on the positive. One way I thought of that might help me accomplish this is to have a quote or word of the day and when a negative thought creeps in, think of the word or quote. So, I thought I would share my quote of the day,
"You are Stronger than you seem, Braver than you believe, and Smarter than you think you are."
