Generosity+Kindness=Keys to the Kingdom

The 2 positive affirmations that sparked this sudden change in my core beliefs on treating other people the way they would like to be treated.

I am aware, I listen, I comprehend.

Patience Focus Humility

I would repeat these short words over and over again and when I remember to still do it to this day. It has helped me grow as a person, listen to the winds and communications of the world around me, and really begin to understand how beautiful the world we live in really is.

Allow yourself to become lost in service to others. Begin to look within, and always have an open heart. You will find, like I have and so many before you, that enlightenment is only a matter of time, patience, and understanding.

Wisdom and Patience

In the previous post I referred to Jesus' ideology's on how to treat, act, and think of the universe. This post I would like to explain why I have had such a huge shift in the way I treat other people and my general outlook on life because of this. I Am Enough, something I feel I would like to remember my entire life. I was created in the mind of something more kind. Meaning I can show compassion for my heart and soul because of my knowledge that I was created in the image of pure light and love. What a great feeling. I don't know who the deity is, or even if I was created after millions of years of slight changes through survival of the fittest. Either way, love helps me become closer to those feelings of happiness and understanding.

One of my favorite, if not favorite, songs from my current favorite cartoon Steven Universe
is Here Comes a Thought. Take a Listen!

Explaining to children how to just let love in and meditate about how there is someone or something out there to help you every second of every day.

Too Amazing not to Share

Jesus’s Parables, Teachings, and thoughts on Jesus Christ our Savior: How I can make my life Better.
 “Love one another, as I have loved you.”
It was said that it is the most Majestic Manifestation of pure love ever to be demonstrated in this world.
I love myself as Jesus Loves Me.
I find myself in Service to Others.
I love like Jesus.


1. I feel my Savior's love
In all the world around me.
His Spirit warms my soul
Through ev'rything I see.

2. I feel my Savior's love;
Its gentleness enfolds me,
And when I kneel to pray,
My heart is filled with peace.

3. I feel my Savior's love
And know that he will bless me.
I offer him my heart;
My shepherd he will be.

4. I'll share my Savior's love
by serving others freely.
In serving I am blessed.
In giving I receive.
Chorus:
He knows I will follow him,
Give all my life to him.
I feel my Savior's love,
The love he freely gives me.

Passion for life and the future.

The weekend of my 21st birthday was awesome! I got some whiskey and drank with a good friend and sang and rejoiced in both mine and my friends passion. I taught her son how to longboard and take good care of a longboard. They enjoyed not only longboarding but also fighting lightsaber battles. Good times, good times.

Starting Now, I'm Starting Over

To understand what someone else is going through. What kind of sentiment is that? Empathy, how do I get more of it. Just live a different life? Change all of my core beliefs? So confusing and frustrating yet there are so many simple ideas that are supposed to change my entire life for the better. Decisions on a moment to moment basis. All the anguish I have ever felt in my life washed away by a single compliment I give another person. Or when my neighbor offers me a ride to the Trax Station on my way to work. Are these acts of service? I always felt so. I don't really know that much about acting on behalf of other people.

I lost my phone after my computer broke for about a month. During that time I realized that I needed something to organize my thoughts. I used an R2-D2 Star Wars notebook I got from a secret santa exchange with my family at Sharon and Dan's house, and an insurance pad that my mom gave me to write down all my thoughts in. Positive affirmations seem to make such a huge difference. Even though most of them I thought of, they seem as though they come from a greater place. Some part of my mind that is more in tune with the secrets of the universe. 

I went to a Young Singles Adult ward's Family Home Evening for the second time on Monday 8/1/16. The person in charge of the spiritual lesson used a quote from C.S. Lewis. 

“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.”

It is hard to remember to treat other's with sincerity but I think it makes it easier if you think of all other people as immortal beings. I don't really know what I think. Like I said in another post of mine I don't know if there is an after life. Even so I can still treat others with respect while still employing my playful ridiculous personality. It's hard to remember that all people are created as equals but I think this quote can help everyone, If not especially me, to remember that acting with a lack of seriousness and respect for all life is simply a waste of time. 

I would act frivolously and expect others to pick up my slack. It wasted their time and it wasted mine because I couldn't do the things I wanted to get done. Even then I would end up blaming them for my short comings. I really want to begin to treat others with respect, instead of only thinking about my self at all times. There are no normal people. I love you if you are reading this. If you aren't, I love you just the same. You just may not know it yet. ;)
