Inspiration

Through our lives, we all inevitably face obstacles and trials. How we react to those trials is a great mark of our character. Through such trials we are refined and developed. There is always something to learn and potential to grow. As I have grown and developed, not only a testimony of my Heavenly Father's perfect love and grace, but also character, I have found that knowing where I am going always aids me in safely maneuvering through the trials of life. I know where I want to be. I know the impact I want to have on others. I know the difference I want to make. I know that I can accomplish all of my temporal and spiritual goals as a part of the great and all-encompassing Plan of Salvation and Happiness. As I look to the future and to the goals I have made, the trials I face are but bumps along the world from which I am strengthened. I was listening to a song today, "On My Way" by Phil Collins, that helps me maintain my inspiration and motivation to continue to work as hard as I can to get there, and I wanted to share it.

On My Way
Tell everybody i'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
With blue skies ahead, yes i'm on my way
And theres no where else i'd rather be

Tell everybody i'm on my way
And i'm loving every step i take
With the sun beating down, yes i'm on my way
And i can't keep this smile off my face

Cause theres nothing like, seeing each other again
No matter what the distance between
And the stories we tell, will make you smile
Or really lifts my heart

So tell'em i'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
And to sleep under the stars and could ask for more
With the moon keeping watch over me

Not the snow nor the rain, can change my mind
The sun will come out, wait and see
And the feeling of the wind
In your face can lift your heart

Oh... theres no where i'd rather be
Cause i'm on my way now
Well and true
I'm my way there
I'm on my way now(x3)

Tell everybody i'm on my way
I just can't wait to be there
With blue skies ahead, yes I'm on my way
And nothing but good times to share

So tell everybody I'm on my way
And I just can't wait to be home
With the sun beating down yes I'm on my way
And nothing but good times to show

I'm on my way
Yes, I'm on my way
