Sunday's epiphany...

I wish I could make this a series but unfortunately my epiphanies are few and far between when trying to keep BL quiet so the other people without 19 mo. olds can have them. This really awesome guy gave a talk about really using the Holy Ghost as much as possible (at least that's what I got out of it). I kind of had the realization a couple of months ago while struggling with keeping my house clean how important it is to continually (on a minute by minute basis (not always that fast but really a lot)) listen to the spirits promptings. It doesn't have to be about major things but really things that are important to you and will help you to be better and to have a better day. As I let go of my thoughts and acted as I received promptings I continued to receive promptings. They weren't major things but I felt so good at the end of the day. Slowly my own thoughts got in the way and took back over so I'm still working on it but this lead me to think about my daily activities. Am I really striving each and every day to be better? If I'm not then what was the point of that day? Was it just wasted? There are too many days where I come to the end and ask myself what the point of it was. What did I do to try to become better? It's really hard to turn your every thought and action over to the Holy Ghost and let go of all control. The instant you feel it, do it. That's all there is to it. It's so simple, but why does it seem to be so difficult? My new focus is trying to be a little better every day. That's why we're here, is to become better, so we shouldn't waste our time, not a single day. It's so easy to get in the rut of the everyday mundane repetitive motions. Break out of it. Let go of your thoughts and follow the promptings. I always get stuck analyzing the prompting, debating it's importance and if I should really do it right then or just put it off 'til a more "convenient" time. "Jump in, lets go..." In the meantime, my handsome guys...
