Living The Abundant Life~2012

I have been challenged to undertake a quest, of sorts, for an "abundant life"~ filled with success, goodness, and blessings.  Just like learning to read, I am going to start with some ABC's  to achieve that goal this year.
A~ Have a postive Attitude.  
Friends, this is something I have got to work especially hard on!!!  It doesn't come naturally to me and it has to be on the forefront of my mind at all times to make it happen.  "So much on life depends on our attitude.  The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference". -Thomas S. Monson


B~ Believe in myself and those around me and in the principles I have been taught by my parents. 
Everyday can bring an onslaught of things that can ultimaltly make you feel inadequate.  I need to remember not to limit myslef and not let others convince me that I am limited in what I can do.


C~ Face challenges with Courage.
I love this quote.  "Courage becomes a worthwhile and meaningful virtue when it is regarded not so much as a willingness to die manfully but as a determination to live decently".-Thomas S. Monson
It is noble to be courageous in times of death but, it takes just as much courage to live a virtuous life that is full of honesty, and morality, and to stand up to something you think is wrong in the world.  Challenges will come this year in many forms but I can have courage in myself and faith in the Lord.


I have many goals this year.  That's what I do, make goals.  Small everyday ones and big ones for the year.  I have high expecations for myself (this could be a downfall) and chanllenge myself to rise to the occassion.  I hope to achieve some of these goals and find and abundance in life by starting with the ABC's.  


I hope everyone had a funfilled and safe New Year holiday.  I can't wait to see what another year of blogging brings.  Take Care:)
