How do we, amidst the challenges of our lives, gain the vision
necessary to do those things that will bring us closer to the Savior?
Speaking of vision, the book of Proverbs teaches this truth: “Where
there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18). If we are to
prosper rather than perish, we must gain a vision of ourselves as the
Savior sees us. - O. Vincent Haleck, "Have the Vision to Do," Ensign
(CR) May 2012

We
experience hard things in our lives that can sometimes diminish our
vision and
faith to do the things we should. We become so busy that we often feel
overwhelmed and unable to do any more. While each of us is different, I
humbly
submit that we must focus our vision on the Savior and His teachings.
What did
He see in Peter, James, and John and the other Apostles that prompted
Him to
act to invite them to follow Him? Like His vision of them, the Savior
has a
great vision of who we can become. It will take the same faith and
courage the
first Apostles had in order for us to refocus on the things that matter
most in
bringing lasting happiness and great joy. – O.
