Today I learned the importance of work. I have been so out of control of my life, and the last two days, I finally feel in control! My name is Emily Jones and I have control of my life. And the best part is, I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary to feel this way. I just made a conscious effort to do what I can and to use all my time productively and I can report that it paid off! Instead of busting my butt to get everything done at the last minute or letting things in my life slide, I actually stayed on top of everything. Even though I didn’t do what I wanted (ie. take a nap or watch a movie) I feel better more fulfilled and more happy. Isn’t ironic that when we put off the natural man and suppress our carnal desires that we ended being more pleased and happy with our lives? I felt that today. I am happy to be re-learning this again. I first learned it on my mission, but I lost my mojo.
