as I am today. I know that I had to grow up a lot faster than a lot of my friends, but ultimately I know this trial helped me realize what is important in life and kept me out of a lot of trouble during these last four years. I knew I wanted to return to live with not only my Savior but my Mom as well, so I tried to stay as righteous as I could. I know that I never want to be responsible for the smile on Satan’s face, but I want to do everything in my power to put a smile on my Saviors face. I know that I have only written about my Mom passing away in this stage, but that is because this experience, this trial, is what made me who I am today. I know my Heavenly Father, and Jesus Christ love me. I know they want the best for me. I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church. I know that through living the commandments we can return to live with our Father in Heaven. I know that I can be with my family forever, and that one day I will be able to be with my Mother again. I am grateful for my Dad, and the amazing guy that he is. Ever since my Mom passed away he has stepped up to the plate. I love optimism, and although I still at times have a negative attitude, I am still grateful for the power of a positive attitude.
During this stage of my life, I tried my hardest to not let this trial define me, but to help it strengthen me, so I could be the daughter my Mom not only deserved, but was proud of. I did very well in high school, and mostly did not get into the common behaviors of most teenagers. After my Mom passed away, it was hard for me to get close to many people, but luckily I had three very close friends, and a family that helped me through this stage of my life. Ultimately I am just trying to be the best me that I can be, and strive everyday to become closer to my Heavenly Father, and Jesus Christ. I know that my Savior carried me through this trial, and I am so grateful for that. Having eternity on my mind helped me overcome my trials and tribulations.

Positivity is KEY. In order to have eternity on our mind we must be positive as well as have faith in our Savior. You have the power to change any thought that you think at any time. Catch yourself thinking a negative thought and immediately change that thought into a positive one. You create what you experience. Often times teenagers believe that by thinking negatively they are preparing themselves for the worst to happen, but really they are creating the worst to happen. When we think positively we send positive energy out into the universe and things begin to work in our favor. “There is no faith with fear and doubt.” If we doubt that what we want to happen will happen we are kinking up the energy, and therefore are creating an experience we don’t want. Be positive in all that you do, and have faith. Keep eternity on your mind, and believe you can achieve that. Have faith that repentance works and that your Savior will do everything in his power to help you receive eternal life, because he will.
How to be positive when everything seems to be going wrong:
-Count your blessings.
-See things in a positive light, rather then thinking of the worst that could happen.
-Lose yourself in the service of others.
-Love yourself. Understand where you come from, and begin loving yourself immediately.
-Have eternity on your mind.
“Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it.”

There are so many opportunities awaiting us, based on our willingness to keep the Lords commandments. We have been promised that if we keep the commandments and strive for perfection we will enter into the kingdom of God. I always wonder… What if I am given an opportunity, but am not prepared enough to take it? Then I wonder how can I prepare myself now in a way that I will be prepared for any opportunity that Christ gives me?
It is actually quite simple…
Remember to have eternity on your mind, and keep the Lord’s commandments.
Prepare yourself now by becoming the person you want to become.
Do not use the words: One day I want to be…
Become that NOW! Do not wait to become the person you want to be. You have the power to change now.

Have eternity on your mind. There is a once upon a time and a happily ever after in every fairytale, but in between are always the trials, challenges, and obstacles that need to be tackled. Through every trial, pain, and tribulation have eternity on your mind, and remember the eternal plan of happiness. Remember why you are here, who you are, and where you are going. Be positive and remember that you can have eternal life all based upon your righteousness. Pray to your Heavenly Father and ask him to help you have Eternity on your mind always.
Ask yourself this question:
How much time do I spend getting ready or on my computer?
Now ask yourself this question:
How much time do I spend with eternity on my mind?
Let that question help you evaluate yourself and determine the changes that need to be made in your life. You, the youth of today, are being raised in enemy territory. Do your actions place you in the Lords or enemy territory? Do not cross over to the adversary, even an inch. Step it up, and keep eternity on your mind!
“You can’t be right by doing wrong, and you can’t be wrong by doing right.”
There is always a way back.
I know this booklet is very straightforward, and that is because I want to save you from as little trouble as possible.
Repentance is a principle that is very real in our religion.
It is real. And I have felt it work in my own life.
Don’t think that if you messed up, it is over, and there is no turning back.
Our Savior suffered for our sins so that we could repent and return back to him.
Turn to your Savior, and have a change of heart.
Christ loves all his children, despite their mistakes.
I hope this booklet taught you one thing.
And that is…
To Have ETERNITY on Your Mind.
