Habit #1 Turning on the light of Hope each day.

In order to overcome the world, master the physical body, become spiritually centered and enjoy the day, one must awaken his soul to the glorious possibilities that awaits him this day. This day is the day to qualify for the riches of eternity, i.e., being invited into paradise, receiving a Celestial body, being with the Savior during the millennium, being lifted up when the Savior comes and receiving the gift of exaltation. The temporal activities, enticements, and adversities of the day are designed perfectly for me to grow spiritually and qualify for the riches of eternity. All I need to do each day is decide to use the day for my spiritual growth by becoming One with Christ; that is to SEE as He sees, THINK as He Thinks, so I can Feel as He feels, and Do as He does. This is how I exercise faith in Christ. The foundation of faith is a Hope to be raised unto Eternal Life. (Moroni 7:40-42, Ether 12:4). Faith is something one does in the now, the today. In order to one to exercise faith today, he must become spiritually focused. That is, one must awaken and arouse his mind and heart unto the Heavens, thus turn on his light of hope that he is a fit candidate for the Celestial Kingdom today. ANd have the Holy Ghost testify to his soul that he is so qualified. What can one do each day to turn on the light of hope? 1. Open the heavens by praying as soon as you wake up. 2. Before you leave for work, or start your day, seek to become spiritually focused by reading from the Book of Mormon for the purpose of feeling the spirit and receiving enlightenment. 3. Review the Plan of Salvation for the purpose of seeing as the Savior sees this day. This will help you become spiritually centered rather than beginning the day being temporally centered. 4. Since you felt the Spirit you have the confirmation that you are still clean, forgiven and still in the straight and narrow path. You are now prepared to exercise fath in the Savior throughout the day.
