An improved vision

These are my actual glasses!

This week I had the chance to go on Exchanges with Sister Cluff. It was an amazing exchange! I realized that the vision I had for myself, was great but at the end of our exchange, my vision had improved. There are many times that we lose sight of our goals, our purpose, and our vision. We tend to do good, when we could do better! Don't get me wrong, doing good is great but when you can do better, why not do it? That is what hit me the hardest as we went about our day in Eureka. I could do better, so why not do it? I relate this to being able to physically see. I usually wear glasses, why? Because I can't see. Imagine if I decided to not wear my glasses for a day? I would be LOST! I couldn't see anything or anyone in front of me. And lets say, that I found some other glasses, and they weren't the right prescription but I could still kind of see, and I wore those, my vision would slightly improve. But if I wore the right prescription, my vision would drastically improve. I would see the color of the world, I could see what is in front of me, I could see what I wanted to change and what I could improve in.
We all have area's in which we need to improve in. For me it was having a better vision, a better attitude, and becoming more christlike towards others. It reminds me of what President Monson said, "Charity is having patience with someone who has let us down. It is resisting the impulse to become offended easily. It is accepting weaknesses and shortcomings. It is accepting people as they truly are. It is looking beyond physical appearances to attributes that will not dim through time."
Having this improved vision in mind, I now know the goal in sight as it says in Mosiah 4:27, "...And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order." All things must be done in order to change, in order to win the prize, or the goal! We can all achieve our goals in sight, if we put our whole trust in the Savior, for he will always lift us up, help us achieve our goals when we feel we cannot go any further. He will help change us!

As I said before, we all have the chance to improve our vision, sometimes our windows need to be cleaned in order to see a clearer picture, to see what we need to do to become better!
