The Ladder

I've never really had the gift of words, music has always been my way of expressing my thoughts.

But my mind has been going a lot recently.

.....................

Life is unfigureoutable.
Our potential is kind of like a ladder......

We are perfect spirits living in an imperfect world. We lived with our Father in Heaven, the most perfect being ever, and we were in his presence all the time.
And then, he came up with a plan to be where we can come to earth, get experience, and become like him. We were probably super excited!
And then, we came here...... And realized, "Oh... maybe it's NOT so easy..."

*Before Earth*
                     .                         And therefore,
                      .                          in our now mortal
                       .                          bodies, we are realizing more and more
                        .                           that WE
                         .                                     ARE
                          .                                          NOT
                           .                                                PERFECT...
                             .
                               .*Earth*

Which, sometimes lead to frustration.
Because once upon a time, we did not have those kinds of experiences.
But........................
Why do we need these experiences?
WELL......

*Before Earth*                            *Reaching our full potential*
                     .                            .
                      .                          .
                       .                        .
                        .                      .
                         .                    .
                          .                  .
                           .                .
                            .              .
                             .*Earth*.

You have to go down, before you can go up.

It all starts with desire. Where do you want to go? What are you willing to do to get there?
Because, there is a way, and that's the Gospel. Being point blank here.

As we RELY on Christ, that potential can be reached.
Moroni 10:32:
"Come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and LOVE God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God."

You have a goal to accomplish and a work to be done.

You have a purpose.

D&C 121:8
"...[I]f thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes."


But, you're not going to get there alone.
You need someone to help you up that ladder.
And because of the Atonement of Christ, he can and WILL help you up that ladder.
