Our lives can be like walking up an escalator that is moving downwards. A constant uphill struggle to reach a destination. A battle to get to the top. An objective we are striving for. But just what are we working towards? What do we really want out of life? For some it is aspiring to a certain position within a career. For others it may be to travel the world or climb the highest mountain. There are many noble goals but there is one goal, one purpose that's importance surpasses all others. That is to follow Jesus Christ and progress that we might return to live with our Heavenly Father. Because that is the reason we are here; that is the purpose of life. And it, like any other admirable goal, takes work to achieve. We continually step up one stair at a time. We better ourselves to progress. As long as we are getting better we are headed in the right direction. But if we stop moving forward on the escalator, we are taken backwards. It is impossible to remain still in our progress like it would be on a staircase. With every choice we move one step in either direction. Everyday we should ask ourselves: which direction am I facing?
