Anxiously Engaged in a Good Cause

I love the scripture D&C 58:27. It says, "Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;"

I recently watched a BYU Speech Be Excellent: Becoming Who You Are in Today's World. The part of the speech that struck me the deepest was about being engaged. As of late, I've been trying to multitask and focus on some classes more than others. I have one class that I always go to, but never pay attention in. I always listen halfheartedly while doing homework for other classes.

After listening to the talk and thinking about how being engaged in my current task, no matter how dull, can help me become who I am, I have found a deeper desire to live in the present and give my full attention to what I am doing. Thinking about this in comparison to the scripture, I'm thinking that being engaged will help me become who I am and in that process I will certainly "bring to pass much righteousness." God wants me to become someone special and He wants me to be righteous. I can do His will if I am anxiously engaged in a good cause, that of becoming who I am meant to be.
