posting progress

It's amazing what we can accomplish when we learn to discipline ourselves. I need to look ahead at what I want to accomplish and then set guidelines for myself. I really want to be educated rather than just get an education. I want to live the WofW with exactness-- go to bed early, wake up early; monitor what I put into my body. I want to thrist after righteousness. I want to develop new skills and use them to help others. I often find myself wondering what kind of person I want to become in the next month or year, and then evaluate what I am doing to reach that. . . I love the docterine of eternal progression (which is pretty obvious by the nature of my ridiculously introspective posts). Of not just knowing, but becoming something. This morning I went swimming. I lost count of my laps and got lost in these thoughts as I felt the water cut along side of me.

I'm taking French horn again. I'm in the University Orchestra for next semester.

I am going to learn human anatomy.

I going to be a better Visiting Teacher. . . I am going to pray for those girls every night.

I want to acostarme a las 11 y levantarme a las 6.

I want to invest in snowshoes and really warm running gear.

I am going to write in my journal experiences, ideas and stories that inspire me.

I am reading President Hinkley's biography. I realized how his life is full of simple acts of kindness and love, of consistent and constant obedience to small things, his love for education and his faith in the Lord in conquering problems. He became an extraordinary person because he steadily moved in the right direction. It really is that simple.
