Daily Decisions

This book really encourages me to "stand a little taller" and make the most of this life. His emphasis on the daily decisions of life helps make this less overwhelming. For example, he says, "How are you using [this mortality] you were so anxious to receive? Do daily decisions lead you toward those goals you so eagerly anticipated as a spirit in the premortal life?" (10). We did all choose to experience this life and we were excited at the opportunity to prove ourselves worthy of celestial glory. All too often, this truth gets lost in the Adversary's tools of distraction that Elder Scott talks about. It's easy to fill our lives with good things, but it is imperative that we fill our lives with eternally important and imperative things. I think it all comes back to those daily decisions. If we take it one day at a time (I will read my scriptures today; I will say earnest prayers this morning), I think it is more manageable. I think this will become a personal motto of mine (Do daily decisions lead you toward those goals you so eagerly anticipated as a spirit in the premortal life?). I can't lose my celestial potential to the distractions of mortality.
