Affirm Your Present As Part of Eternity

I can fall into a slump so easy.  Positive thinking does not come easy for me.  I am constantly having to remind myself to re-evaluate the way I am thinking.  I am so grateful for the notes I took from reading Garth Allred's book, "Unlocking the Powers of Faith."  I try to read a page or two each day during my scripture study time, and I keep discovering treasures of great knowledge.  This is the one for today:

Focus on positive things and avoid dwelling on problems.  Squeeze the most enjoyment out of every moment of life - affirming the present as part of eternity...no matter the current circumstances.

I also read: when problems arise, remember, it's not the event, but the thoughts about it that matter.  Put your thoughts to the Savior.  Suffering is only necessary for growth.  Even Christ learned by the things which He suffered.  (Hebrews 5:8)  And why?  So He could help us.  In turn, we can help others.

When your HOPE is strong you feel good about yourself and relate with others in a Christlike manner.

Remember: you act according to how you feel.

Oh, believe in yourself.  Believe!
