100s List

Recently I put together a list of 100 reasons to keep going. It has been a great resource for me to read on my down days. Whenever I read through it, I am reminded of the more than 100 reasons I have that make life great. I had a few other people contribute to my list and all of their ideas provided views that I couldn't see on my own. Originally my goal was to reach 100 reasons, by the time I was done I couldn't stop at 100, I kept going. There are hundreds of reasons to never give up. When I finished my list I laminated it and I keep it where I can get to it on my rough days.

As I've thought about it, I think a list of 100 reasons to never give up is a great idea for everyone. In Alma 1:1, it mentions the death of King Mosiah. It says "king Mosiah having gone the way of all the earth, having warred a good warfare". Warred a good warfare really sticks out to me. Am I fighting a good battle? Am I on the Lords side in this battle? To me, the list of 100 reasons is part of my arsenal of weapons to keep fighting a good warfare. Once I know why it's easier to figure out the how. I think it is helpful for all of us to write down the reasons we should keep fighting like king Mosiah fought.
