Being in college is HARD.
Living life is HARD.
Sometimes, we may want to live it on our own, our own way, and doing what we want to do. Independence is something that we, as human beings feel is very important to who we are. Being our own person, becoming "who we are" is vital to our happiness. However, sometimes, being an "individual" can turn into pride.
How can we fix this problem?
How can we become who we want to be, live up to our potential, and live a humble, good life?
Answer: Develop a strong, lasting bond with Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. Prayer, fasting, receiving personal revelation, learning and reading the scriptures...there are so many things we can do to achieve this relationship we so desperately need.
Once we do, our lives will become easier. Trusting in God and Jesus Christ to lead us down the paths that we need to travel makes our lives easier to live. Now, we need to work and pursue the things we want to do, but when facing difficult decisions, asking of God and Jesus for help can make the choice more clear.
I know that Jesus Christ and God live. They show us they love us through the scriptures, prophets and apostles that are alive today to give council, through the small and many blessings we receive each day. They want us to live the best life we can so that we can come back to live with them in Heaven.
Trusting in them will lead us to everlasting happiness.
They know what's best for us.
