Each week we focus on a spiritual and a physical goal, to push ourselves to be better and to feel motivated and encouraged to move in the right direction. We know that by doing so, we will eventually create new and positive habits that will bring more peace and joy to our future. 
We all have different goals, desires or needs that we want for our lives etc….This week I’ve been asking myself; Are my goals aligned with God’s goals??? if not, then what are the changes that need to be made to make that happen??? I know that I will feel much more at peace If I was fully trying to live in the way that God wants me too and according to the Goals that He has already stablished for us as his children. 🙂
The reason why this question has been on my mind this week is because unfortunately one of my neighbors got into a terrible car accident and has been in a comma for more than a week. Terrible accidents like this helps us to realize just how incredibly fragile life is 🙁 …And the fact that it could really be gone in an instant.That is why it is so important for us to take in each and every day we are given! that is our gift! To be able to take in each experience wether it’s good or bad and most importantly to continue working and learning each day to come closer to God and to be better and better prepared each passing day of our lives to someday be able to meet Him! To be in His presence and to someday hear Him say that we did well, that we were faithful and that we endured to the end! 🙂
* For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors. (Alma 34:32)
That is why it is so important for us to align ourselves to God. To remind ourselves that THE PLANS OF GOD should be MY PLANS!!! His desires should be MY desires!! To be fully aligned to Him will require work! it will not be easy or the most “popular” things that our friends are doing…It will require a change in myself, letting go of things, having more humility, trusting more fully, keeping His commandments and being faithful and diligent. We know that it won’t be easy, people may make fun of us or whatever…But we don’t do things to “fit in with the world” We do things to be at peace with God and to know that what He has asked, is being developed in our lives and that we are changing each day, each week, little by little towards becoming the person that He created us to become. Every bit of work in ourselves will be work it!!! 
We will feel it in our lives and in our souls and theres nothing in the world that can compare to that feeling of being aligned with God and feeling at peace with ourselves and with Him.
But learn that he who doeth the works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come. (Doctrine and Covenants 59:23)
I know that as we draw closer to God and allow our path to become one with His, He will fill our souls with His peace and joy and He will allow us to become the best version of ourselves that we could possibly be!!! 🙂 Trust in Him! The choice is always there for us. The more we align ourselves to Him the more at peace we will feel and life will be fully joyful without a need for anything that this earth can offer. Let’s align ourselves to God and be full of Joy! love you all and thank you for reading these weekly messages. Stay positive and do your best one day at a time! 🙂
Our Spiritual goal is to to align ourselves more to God, to let go of those things that are taking our path far from him and instead fund the ways in which our path can merge back into God’s path. 🙂
Our physical goal for the week is to not eat fatty or greasy foods this week! 😉 Let’s see how we do! and also remember the importance of exercise and how good it is for the body, mind and soul! our focus tonight in class will be to have a great workout to burn calories, we will dance, tone and also relax let go of things and have a wonderful meditation. I would love to see you there! The hardest thing is always showing up, but once you’re there, you’ll feel amazing!!! 
Have a blessed and wonderful day!
xoxo,
