I have been thinking a lot lately about the reasons why people change their lives. What stirs within a person to drive them to change their life? As I have come to understand more fully the gospel of Jesus Christ, I have seen that we need the Savior's help to create a lasting change in our lives. I believe that we change because we feel something inside our hearts pressing at our souls, desiring something greater. There is a choice that we must ultimately face: Are we willing to follow Christ for the rest of our lives, to make the changes necessary so that we may return to our Heavenly Father to live in happiness or not? "I would that [you] should look to the Great Mediator, and [obey] his great commandments; and be faithful unto his words, and choose eternal life" (2 Nephi 2:28).
When you put it that way, the choice seems simple. Follow Christ and have never ending happiness!
