Changing For The Better | John Merrifield - 075

For those starting their journey to follow, it’s easy to compare ourselves to those around us. However, it’s important to remember not to compare ourselves, but to listen to the Lord and serve him. In today’s episode of Changing, Donald is joined by the founder of Crowned Co. to discuss his experiences using the Lord for guidance. We connect with our Savior through action and understanding: The Supernal Gifts of Prayer helps John when he’s trying to grow, and it dictates the potential responses to prayer. When John is trying to make decisions or grow in his career or personal life, he wants to know how he can maximize his calling. It’s easy to strive for things to acclaim a status, perspective, or event. But ask yourself what keeps you moving forward and on a path toward a fulfilling goal. Advice to someone who doesn’t even know where to start: Search for light. Whether starting your day with a prayer or reading Scriptures on a morning commute, apply the gospel throughout your life and mindset. There are moments to help everyone around you. Be the person that walks into a room and lights up everyone’s day. We all hit a moment in our lives where we question our path and what we’re doing. If we’re open to it, the spirit can help us make changes to be better people and better versions of ourselves. Listen to the spirit. He’ll prompt us and intervene when needed, but he’ll let us continue on our path and discover ourselves in our path to change and become better. John’s parting piece of advice to someone looking to change? Everything is possible through our Father. We are all sinners who need the atonement of Jesus Christ. Whether you know you need help or think you’re perfect, we all need to draw closer to the savior. To connect with John and get more information, find him on Instagram and Twitter.
