Life is amazing and I have great hope for this life. Even when the worst is happening to you it is never as bad as it could be. I would chose hope over despair any day. Why ruin your life by thinking all is lost? All is never lost. I believe in a Savior and I believe that he has suffered every possible burden that man experiences and then some. This knowledge gives me comfort in that I know my Savior has already felt the pain I may feel. Life has been rough and poor choices have only made it rougher. I am determined to make better choices each day so as to lighten the burden I place upon myself by not making good choices. I pray that as I strive to do this that the good will always outweigh the bad. I'm ready to take on the challenges that are placed before me. I know they are great, but I know I have someone to walk with me through this empty place that has found me seeking extra guidance. Press forward with hope, confidence, and humility. Serve other to lessen their burdens. Be nice to all I encounter as to possibly brighten their day. Smile like never before and beam with the pure love of Christ. Love.. Love will be my guiding light. Love of my God and my Savior and love of my fellow man. Eschew hate and disdain of others. Love even my enemies and those that do wrong to me. Follow the teachings of Christ and live as he has asked me to live. In the end if all appears to be lost I know that what I will have found will be greater than all.
