Keep Moving Forward

My thoughts today focus on the short video we watched titled “You can do anything.” Meet the Robinsons is one of my sister’s favorite movies. For me it is a fun movie, but the thing in the movie that hit me the hardest was the main characters motto “Keep Moving Forward!” Since I saw that movie I have tried to apply that motto to my life. Never give up on your dreams. Taylor Richards emphasizes the importance of never giving up as he applied this idea to the gospel. If we are able to involve the Lord in our goals, He will guide us and give us the opportunities to succeed. It has been very interesting to see the path my life has taken since returning from my mission. All of my plans prior and during my mission have not played out because other thoughts and paths have opened and I have no doubt it has been through the guidance of the Lord. I feel like I am where I need to be and I am doing what I need to be doing. I really don’t know exactly what the future has in store but I will continue doing what feels right and I don’t doubt it will work out however it is supposed to work out.

Next Taylor Richards talked about the importance of not underestimating ourselves. A coworker of mine lately has talked a lot about the idea of limiting beliefs. Essentially it is when we limit our capabilities by telling ourselves we cannot accomplish something. I want to make sure I am not limiting myself by underestimating my abilities.

It has been a great week to think about what I want to accomplish in life. I still don’t have the answers, but I am trying really hard not to limit myself.
