Lyssa's inspirational thoughts for the day!

  Many of us live our lives with a specific destination in mind. Every day we work towards that goal and try to be better each day. Some days we might feel like we’re on top of the world, other days we will struggle- A LOT.  It’s hard to have a destination in mind when you’ve forgotten your purpose and why you’re here. It’s easy to forget who you are and Who’s you are. It’s easy to become distracted and lose sight of what you’re working towards. It’s easy to be tempted with the allure, bright lights, and the so called promises that will lead towards your so called “happiness”. We only have one life my friends. We don’t get another shot at it. THIS IS IT!  👊🏻  The choices we make today will have consequences, either good or bad. So what are you doing with your life?  Questions to ponder: How are you spending your time? What choices am I making? What is my goal? Do you feel like you have a propose? If not, what are you doing so that you can feel like you have a purpose? Where is your f

Why is it that one day you’re feeling fine and loving the skin you’re in and the next day you’re nit picking and seeing ALL your faults? 😩 Why are we so hard on ourselves? Why do we nit pick our entire bodies? Why, when we see a picture of ourselves, do we point out all the negative things we see? “My stomach is sticking out”, “oh my gosh, my cheeks are so chubby and my double chin looks awful”, and “goodness did anyone wanna tell me how white my legs were?” And on and on we go..

Why do we compare ourselves to everyone else, when we really should be grateful for our own bodies? When we really should practice more positive self talk and be kind. 🥺 Friends, join me in trying to be better at this! L

Today, lots of thoughts have been on my mind. Lately, I haven’t been making as much of an effort as I normally do to connect with Heaven every day and feel the spirit. LIFE gets in the way and although most of my choices are still good, they aren’t the best choices I could be making.  That results in me feeling a disconnect from God. 😕 Although it’s not something I like to admit, I know I’m not the only one that has been there or will be there. It will happen to all of us. Experiences like this wake me up and make me realize that something is missing in my life. That something needs to change so that I can partake of that peace again. So I can have That LOVE again that comes through the Holy Ghost, telling me that God is aware of me and that he loves me. 😇 That He is aware of my hardships, my frustrations, my weaknesses, my faults, and He still loves me so much!  This particular experience came this morning as I was watching music and the spoken word. Music, especially music from the
