Most of us are working on
our New Year’s Resolutions. Today we had an activity with our Zone and we all
went around the circle sharing what our resolutions were last year and what
they are this year. Idk how many people actually remembered their resolutions
from last year and how many people bluffed like me haha. Every year we start
out fresh and excited, and somewhere along the year we stop striving to achieve
them… we don’t even remember what they were! Hahaha it’s funny but it’s also
not. How are we gonna achieve anything working like that?
This year I’m working on a
paper chain. Like the ones at Christmas time, except the chain represents 2015.
There are only 12 links—one for each month. So that right now, while I have all
my ideas, I make a plan. So that I take steps each month to reach my goal. So
that when 2015 ends, I actually remember what my 2015 New Year’s Resolutions
were—and I have worked steadily towards them. So that these desires I have
become reality.
I don’t even know why I’m
writing about goals to you guys. Every single one of you is an example to me in
this area. Each of you inspires me with your tenacity and the magnitude of the
goals you set. Your high goals represent your faith in yourselves and in the
ennobling and enabling power of the Atonement. When I think of your examples,
one word comes to mind: relentless.
Keep being relentless.
Don’t let anything get in the way of a worthy goal. The drop does not erode the
stone because of its force, but because of its consistency. And don’t try to
accomplish your goals alone. I can’t do everything, but I know Someone who can.
And He can make more of a man than any man without Him ever could.
