20/20 Vision

Each New Year's Day, millions of people sit down and make a list of "resolutions" - things they would like to change in their lives, in hopes of a better year to come. Sadly, most resolutions don't make it past the month of January. We have a vision of the future, but for whatever reason, we just can't seem to follow through with our changes or improvements. Eating healthier and losing weight are some of the first resolutions to fail. We want the change to happen, but lack the patience or fortitude to move forward. 

Do you feel a lack of direction in your life? Have you fallen in to the trap of procrastination? "There's always tomorrow to start." But what if, as Garth Brooks sings, tomorrow doesn't come? The time to improve is today!

20/20 vision is when you can see perfectly, without the aid of glasses, contact lenses, or laser surgery. With this being the year 2020, will we be able to see clearly the changes we need to make, and follow through? As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, my resolution is to follow the counsel of our prophet, Russell M. Nelson:


"My dear brothers and sisters, I promise that as you prayerfully study the Book of Mormon every day, you will make better decisions - every day. I promise that as you ponder what you study, the windows of heaven will open, and you will receive answers to your own questions and direction for your own life. I promise that as you daily immerse yourself in the Book of Mormon, you can be immunized against the evils of the day."

It is not my purpose to try and convert you to these teachings and beliefs, but hopefully as you read throughout the coming weeks and months, you will gain a better understanding of what has made me who I am today.
