I don't need to write the date it does it for you!

Well, life is so full of changes, my last entry feels like months ago. I am pleased to say that I have come along way since two weeks ago. The progress has been aided by some close friends and some new ones as well. To begin I would like to do a brief recap on my goals from the previous entry (I'm returning and reporting)
     1- I have read and prayed on a much more constant basis. Almost daily scripture study and full on daily prayer. This has drastically changed what has been happening to me as of late. The biggest change being my attitude. I feel happier I treat others with more respect and life seems clearer. Because of this I plan on working even harder at doing my daily spiritual activities. The change is tangible.
     2-TV has definitely taken a back seat. Time spent wasted watching a screen or doing meaningless activities has been almost completely eliminated. This has to do with several factors but a main one is that 2 weeks ago I began spending time with a good friend who has helped me remember some of the things that I used to have a passion for.
     3-Service is also on the rise although I feel that I still need to put forth a stronger effort on this point. I will do better and let you know how it goes. I can say that I have been finding much more happiness by simply being there for my friends and doing simple things for them. I.e. cooking dinner or lending a helping hand.
     4-Physical has gone OK i played some polo last week but I need to start running again.

Basically all of these factors have great impact on my life I'm very happy to be working on them and to be seeing results so quickly. Something that I have been thinking about a lot lately is how I'm supposed to chose the path that I'm supposed to take. I'm talking about relationships, career choices, etc. As Brother Frost said "That [the path he chose] has made all the difference." So if choosing that path is so important, and it is, then how am I supposed to make these decisions. Not only make them but make them well. I'm going to dedicate more time to these thoughts and get back to you.
After reviewing Robert Frost's poem I came to another realization, Frost wanted to stress the effect of choosing the less popular path. Recently I have realized that this is almost as good a guide post as any. What I mean by that is simply if you are choosing to do something that may seem unpopular in todays world, it's probably the right thing to do. This is a sad thought, but I feel that it applies to most situations Anywho I need to go to work i haven't had enough time really to make sense of this last paragraph I apologize.
