Resolutions!

http://www.lds.org/media-library/images/sunrises-sunsets?lang=eng#sunrise-766988New Years Resolutions!  New year resolutions are amazing ways to start fresh today. The world today uses resolutions as a way to set vague goals that may or may not come true. Resolutions are also seen as a way to better oneself when it comes to the worldly statuses of life. What a better way to use this fresh clean year then to work towards becoming more Christlike. Resolutions are an amazing opportunity to change and become more like our Savior Jesus Christ and our Father in Heaven. As I set my resolutions this year I thought of what my mission president suggested "go to the mount" as Nephi did (1 Nephi 18:3) to find out from God (who already knows what you need to accomplish) what your goals should be. Nephi "went to the mount oft" and received miraculous direction, unrealistic direction, direction that blessed him throughout the eternities. Don't settle for mediocrity. Dare to be great" (President Riggs).
We can each set goals that will increase our ability to be a disciple of Christ and return home to our Father in Heaven.
Here are some of my new year resolutions for 2014:
~ Study a Christlike attribute every month and set goals to improve in that attribute.
~ Learn to receive, recognize and act upon impressions from the Holy Ghost
~ Become a better daughter and sister - learn to serve selflessly for the better of my family

What are some of your resolutions?
