My mantra
This was written in my journal on November 18, 2009:
"I feel as Nephi* of old when he talked of his weaknesses because of the flesh. I am trying to be better, but sometimes the natural woman in me doesn't want to because she's lazy. Well, to the natural woman, I say "go away". I am going to become better than I am. Life is about learning, and always growing. I invite myself to learn and grow, to become a better person. I need to LET God mold me into what he wants me to be."
Today I finished my last class of my college career. My LAST class! The last few weeks I have been constantly reflecting my life, and what I am going to do with it once I graduate. The obvious choices are being a mother and wife. Those are being done, and I am constantly going to try and do better at them. But, I need other goals as well. I need to also have other things that will provide other outlets that will also help me in becoming better than I am right now. As I have considered my future, I have realized all the more that I can choose to say "go away" to that lazy woman fighting to make my life miserable, and say "please come in" to the hard-working strong mother/wife/friend/daughter/sister/church goer/etc who strives constantly to be a better person, who feels fulfilled and happy with her life because she knows that when it comes down to it, she tried her best to become what she wants to be.
The future is full of the unknown. But, the one thing I do know, is that I am strong enough to fight the battle against myself and become the BEST person I can be. I've already proved that I can change and become better. Now the goal is to become the best, to become the BEST me I can be. I am going to become the best person I can be because its possible.
*Nephi was a prophet in the Book of Mormon, a book of scripture written by the inhabitants of the American Continent who lived 600 years before the coming of Christ, as well as the people who lived from then till 400ish years after Christ came to the earth.
