"Man is a spiritual being, a soul, and at some period of his life everyone is possessed with an irresistible desire to know his relationship to the Infinite...There is something within him which urges him to rise above himself, to control his environment, to master the body and all things physical and live in a higher and more beautiful world." --David O. McKay
"That urge to rise above yourself is a recognition of your need for the Atonement to work in your life, and your need to be sure that it is working. After all you can do, after all your effort, you need confidence that the Atonement is working for you and on you." --Henry B. Eyring
i sat outside on the hammock in my jeans, a sweater, and socks {in the middle of july!}. snuggled up with a blankie and my book. what could be better than feeling a cool breeze under my bum while sitting under a pine tree? not much.
i love that feeling when you read something that you already knew, but forgot. and it all clicks.
it. all. clicks.
i love that desire to be better! that new resolve to work on yourself again. and i will....i'll do it. to live in that higher, beautiful world.
