One of the most important things for us to remember in this life is we are here on this earth to learn, grow, and then return to Heavenly Father. This is what I like to remember when looking at life as a whole. There is a purpose, a goal, and we need to try and achieve this. Remembering the reason we are here is essential for me to remember when I view life, because I can't really get a grasp of how I perceive the world without knowing what pushes it along. The reason is my backbone.
Life is meant to be fun. Yes, we have our hard times that are necessary, but overall Heavenly Father didn't send us down here to be miserable. He wanted us to form relationships with others, and to enjoy our life as we learn. I believe He wouldn't have given us all the resources we have to enjoy ourselves, unless He wanted us to use them. Besides, when you have fun learning and are enjoying it, then you really won't learn much. Yes, there are times to be serious, and we can't be constantly doing fun recreational activities, but make sure you aren't always completely absorbed in the tedious tasks in life. Enjoy the tasks at hand. Find creative ways to do something "boring." Keep life interesting. You'll be so much more happy and optimistic about life. Just like we love to see our loved ones happy, Heavenly Father cherishes our happiness.
Every person on this earth has a specific purpose they were sent to accomplish. It's easy to look throughout history and see the big characters who accomplished major feats in society. But each and every one of us has our own personal purposes to do that probably aren't as monumental. Joseph Smith's purpose in life was to restore the gospel of the church. But that is just as important as a mother's purpose to rear children in the gospel. She may never receive the fame that Joseph Smith has, but she still has a divine purpose to her life. Maybe there's a man out there whose purpose in life is to become a doctor and save millions of lives so those lives can finish fulfilling their purposes. I think the important thing for us to do is figure out why Heavenly Father sent us to the place He has, and while we strive to perfect ourselves, try the best we can to do what He wanted us to do for the people we have around us.
We can't go through this journey alone. We have people in our life for a reason. We are here to support each other in this journey and help whoever we can reach the ultimate goal. Life isn't going to be perfect. We aren't going to be happy or have fun all the time. We will have those trials to go through. They're essential to our growth. It is in these times that we need to rely on others. And when we notice another having a rough time, we need to support them. It's the way Heavenly Father meant it to be. He's designed it this way.
My list could probably go on and on if I keep thinking about it, but these few topics right here are what I feel are most important when I look at life. They are what I feel most passionate about when I view life as a whole. They all play a part in the grand scheme of things, and are unbelievably important to remember. Never forget...
