We are all here in this life for a reason. Preach My Gospel states: "Our purpose in this life is to have joy and prepare to return to God’s presence." Our Father in Heaven wants us to be happy and wants us to have joy. "This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now." (President Thomas S. Monson)
The time to prepare is now! For us to prosper in heaven, we need to do all we can in this life to prepare. What can we do to prepare ourselves? By doing the simple things. Read the scriptures, pray, keep the commandments, go to church, and strive to be better then we were yesterday. Find joy in this life by preparing for the next. Live Long and Prosper
