How to Feel Fulfilled

You know how the more we know the less we find the ability to do EVERYTHING....well, I have been thinking about that. There is so much to do when being a wife, mother, homemaker, friend, entrepreneur, daughter of God. Don't you just feel like you are being pulled in about 90 different directions?!?!?!


Life is a Process

 Well, a few weeks ago we had Stake Conference and Elder Eyring spoke about 6 things to help everyone feel more fulfilled in their lives.

1. Faith: you have to have faith to make anything work

2. Baptism: many people have already done this one but that just means we need to think about it more...remember that day and the promises that you made with Heavenly Father

3. Spirit: meaning the Holy Ghost, we are all given the gift of having a companion after baptism to help us out everyday. Now that doesn't mean that we will always have every answer right now...but we can get the guidance we need from personal revelation. Like Fasting and Fast Offerings: it is more in your heart than in your pocket book!

4. Prayer: get in at least a personal morning prayer and keep in touch through the day with prayers in your mind and heart

5. Live as a Witness: share your testimony in any way you feel comfortable...do it in ways that feel natural and are "real"...the person you speak to may not feel the Holy Ghost, but YOU will and that is what matters!

6. Do the Very Best You Can: increased covenants = increased responsibility...but remember that the Lord will never ask you to do anything that you can not complete  (He never expects us to be "perfect" (yet))

~LIFE IS A PROCESS~

It felt like such a relief for me to hear him say that most of what we are doing already fits into the outline of what we are asked to do by God. Like sharing your testimony can be just as simple as telling someone that you love God and want to live like Him.

And yet, ultimately there are so many things that we could be doing...yet, there are only so many we can do now! So, DON'T FEEL BAD for not being that "perfect" women that we all know doesn't exist...and don't beat yourself up for not being able to check off all your weekly chores or servicing everyones' personal needs. You just cant do it and be sane or normal!!!

Happiness needs time too. So, if you want to let happiness in then you need to make time for it too.
Feeling fulfilled with what you have done with your life is all about being O.K. with what you were able to do that day. The more I think about it, the more I see that even if I just did the basics and remembered the 6 things above...that would be a good day!
