Live my life with the right perspective

Religion is one of those things that can get people in a huff in a hurry. I've had my own ups and downs over the years, but recently came to realize that believing in God, doing all that you can to live up to the ideals He sets, and living with an eye set apart from yourself and put more on others can really result in a fulfilling and strong life.

It's less about rules and traditions to follow. That stuff is all made up or interpreted by man. Instead, take that innate voice that humanity has had forever and start to listen to it more. Why do we think that some things are just plain old wrong, and other things are good? Where does that come from? Why do all people renounce stealing? Why do we get married, and why is cheating on your significant other wrong? Why does an amazing sunset capture the imagination of anyone that gets to see it? I personally think that's God talking, and learning to listen more can be a positive force in your life.

I've got a long way to go if I want to be a perfect person, because I can work at that until the day I die and never get there, but along the way I hope to live my life with the right perspective, put some faith in God when times are hard, do what I can to help my fellows, and try to treat others with love and kindness.

One way I help is to use the skills I have to help my church reach more people. We all have skills and gifts. For me, I can make a website. Maybe you could teach, or cook, or build a house, or be a nurse, or raise a child, or donate money. There's a million ways to enrich the lives of others, and you will certainly get something out of it for yourself too.
