New Lookout On Life

A few recent events has made me have a new look out on life you might say. I have had a person make me realize that I am too involved in what everyone else thinks about me. I have decided that the only person who's opinion I really care about is God's. Not to say that your opinion is not welcome, I just may not put in to full effect in my life. Everyone is going through life with their own problems and own issues to work out. How can we help each other when we can't even help ourselves? That's not to say that we shouldn't follow God's commandment in loving each other. I just think we give too much attention and focus on what other people think and how they would handle the hard thing you are going through differently. The only Person that knows how you are feeling to the t is Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father also knows what you need more than you do. He knows what you can handle becuase He made your spirit. I am not going into too much detail about that, but I will say that I know that to be true. We are all spirit sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. We can pray to Him to find out what His will is. If we are not in line with His will, we can repent because of Jesus Christ.
One thing that I have also come to discover is that I can become the best I can. I have given myself too little credit. I have been getting into some bad habits that are not who I am. I am very capable of doing many things. Even if I am not fully capable at the moment, I can work on them. I can through the Atonement of Christ become the best I can be.
One of the things I am really ready to work on is my weight. I know I have mentioned this before, but I am so ready to change my life as far as my weight. I am ready to get in shape and be healthier and happier. I joined Weight Watchers and it feels different then the past two times that I have joined. I really feel ready this time. I feel like I am ready to make the committment. I am ready to start eating better and take care of my body. I am worth it.
This blog may sound like a self pump/pep talk but I hope it encourages some of you out there who read it...if anyone. I hope that you realize that you are important to Heavenly Father. Even if you don't believe in Him...although I think most of you if not all that read my blog do. Even if you do sometimes it's easy to forget and get caught up in other people's opinions. Yes, we can get other's opinions and ask them what they would do in the situation. But just remember that all of those opinions really don't matter ultimatly. It's what Heavenly Father thinks that is the most important.
