Your Commitment Graph

Ooh!  Isn't that interesting?  Everything I have been doing and thinking for the past week has been closely studied to look at my level of commitment.  You know what else is interesting?  I once thought it was more effective to have multiple projects going on at once.  Why did I think that?  So much more gets done when we don't have to waste brain power jumping from project to project.

I have been 100% focused on this blog post for the past four minutes.  Now guess what!  I will be one hundred percent focused on sleeping.  Oh, sleep.  It's wonderful.  Nighty night!

Oh!  Actually, one thing first.  It's General conference next week!!  Ahh!!

K bai, bbpie.

Любви. Что еще?

Можем ли мы смотреть на закат вместе, чтобы наблюдать восход солнца вместе?

Two Possible Decisions

Just two decisions.

To pluck or let the fruit fall

Is yours to decide.


The apple in your hands may not be the prettiest or the most delicious apple you've ever held in your hands, it may even house a worm comfortably creating his crib inside, but that one fruit has several seeds at it's core just waiting to be planted in your future orchard.

Inside every "failure" are the seeds for an even greater success.  Let this sink into your being.  Let hope and faith find rest in your soul.

Let this be your knowledge, Dallin.

Core Beliefs

I think I wrote a little bit about this in my last post or a couple posts ago, but I would love to expound upon this for a heightened understanding in myself and for all those who read this.

What I am writing about is a core belief about self.

This core belief influences how you think about anything and everything.  Why?  Because you have a relationship with everything.  You have a relationship with the chair you're sitting on.  You have a relationship with your hair.  You have a relationship with the clothes you wear.

Relationships, relationships, relationships.

Why could they possibly be so important?  Well, they're pretty much the meaning of life.  Ok, maybe not exactly, but everything you do affects your relationships.

The most important relationship you will ever have is with your Higher Power.  The second most important relationship you have in your life is your relationship with you.  That's right.  You have a relationship with you.  How is this possible, you say?  Well, have you ever heard someone say that they love themselves?  Maybe you've heard the opposite.  Either way, this is proof that you have a relationship with yourself.

Now, what if you dislike yourself?  Is it possible to truly love anyone or anything else if you can't come to terms with yourself?  Now, I don't like writing about this kind of thing, but I believe the addressing of an issue is necessary for the resolving of said issue.

Record your negative thoughts, doubts, worries and inhibitions.

Find a journal, notebook or anything to write on and start.  All of the above mentioned are there because there is a core belief that needs to be fixed.

There's so much more to say, but this is the beginning of the solution.

Love you all!

Ciao.

Be A Hero

I don't believe in anything unnatural.  I just don't.

When I look at superheroes in the media, I think, "I wonder how many of these people realize that the reason they think that superhero is cool is because they see traits in the hero that they actually have in themselves."

Why would we ever think a hero was cool if he was nothing like us or at least what we could become?

Whether you like it or not, everything you like about other people is exactly what you are.

There are a lot of little people in your brain.  I'm going to name another one.  This one is Mr. R. Gument.  He doesn't like you to be sure of anything.  When he gets the chance to argue, he will always take it.  He will be a challenge if you have recognized something good about yourself today.  Find ways to use him to your advantage and help him be the optimist he used to be.

Good luck!  Cheerio!
