Even though we are members of the church who know, more than
most, what our purpose in life should be.
We know where we want to be, or where we want to end up. The hard part is finding out what we are
going to do in the meantime that will help us reach our goal. Each individual is uniquely blessed with
certain talents, interests, and advantages in life. The decisions we make, and how we use our
strengths will determine our success or happiness in life. One of my best decisions I have ever made was
to marry my wife, and to have children.
My family brings me joy beyond words.
Having a family brings responsibility.
There is an immediate need to support the family. I have a pretty good paying job. Is it what I was born to do? I don’t think
so, but I’m good at it. I am providing
for my family, and that makes me happy right now. The work itself doesn't bring the most joy,
but what it provides does. I don’t
believe you need to only do what you love or what you were born to do to be
happy. That stuff is great, and maybe
down the road I’ll have time to figure that out, but for now, my calling is to
be a father and husband. This is what
brings me joy. This is what gets me out of
bed every morning. This is what drives
me to do my best at whatever I’m doing.
