I'm seeing light, now what?

[BeingMe]

This was sent to me, and I thought about our sitches:

"If our hearts are right before God, adversity will school us, help us overcome our carnal nature, and nurture the divine spark within us. Were it not for adversity, we would not know to “choose the better part.” Adversity helps us see where we need to repent, to bring into subjection baser instincts, to embrace righteousness and enjoy peace of conscience."

--Keith B. McMullin, "Be Prepared … Be Ye Strong from Henceforth", Ensign, Nov. 2005, 10

I have recently been thinking, Phoenix, that the difficult times in our lives are only as important and destructive as we allow it to be. Sometimes, we allow others' actions to rule our lives. And, when all is said and done, in a hundred years time, today won't matter much, except in when we have to face our Maker and explain our decisions to Him.

So, no advice, just some philosophical thoughts. Take care.
