This morning I have been thinking about the word become. This word is wrapped around ones potential to do and be. It is being and embracing who we are at our core. That is, we are children of our Father in Heaven. This is our huge potential that we all share in this life.
There is no fear when you think about what this means. To really be a god in adolescence. I think this is why there is such an innate desire to create within the human race. To create makes us feel alive and like we are actually doing something to become better. There are those words again, do and become.
Henry David Thoreau wanted to experience life. He wanted to truly understand what it meant to live. He spoke of this:
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
This is a good measuring stick for what you should do and become – when I am old and soon to lay down to rest in the grave what will I have accomplished? What has life offered me, and what have I done with it? Life is a gift and should be enjoyed everyday. If it is not enjoyable then something must change. People can become what and who they want to be through effort and hard work. They become through not giving in or settling for something mediocre from life. Life is to live each day, and make each day a little better than the last.

Masterfully
Equipped
to be me
Heavenly Father
He knows me more than
I know me
He has masterfully equipped
Talents that make up me
Gifts and righteous desires
Those gifts from Him
When not used then lost
At being me
Being me is tricky
I am the only one
There is no example to follow
When the spirit guides
Me works
Me is masterfully equipped
To be
Me.
