Resolutions. 

I have decided that this year I just want to be good.  
I have a few people in my life that are beautiful examples of what it means to be truly Christlike and simply a GOOD person.  
Too often in 2014 I whined about how much better I used to be. 
I am done with that.
Two major things on my list taken from this talk.



1.)

"Become really, really good at repenting thoroughly and quickly. Because the Atonement of Jesus Christ is very practical, you should apply it generously 24/7, for it never runs out. Establish an attitude of ongoing, happy, joyful repentance by making it your lifestyle of choice. Keeping your eyes on the Savior, care more about what He thinks of you, and let the consequences follow. Spiritual confidence increases when you voluntarily and joyfully repent of sins, both small and great, in real time by applying the Atonement of Jesus Christ."

2.)

"Become really, really good at forgiving. “I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men” (D&C 64:10). Forgive everyone, everything, all the time, or at least strive to do so, thus allowing forgiveness into your own life. Don’t hold grudges, don’t be easily offended, forgive and forget quickly, and don’t ever think that you are exempt from this commandment. Spiritual confidence increases when you know that the Lord knows that you bear no ill feelings toward another soul."

I believe these two actions will help A LOT. 

Welcome 2015!
