# Scriptures: A Land of Promise | ||
|
||
I thought about the phrase "land of promise" in [1 Nephi 2 - Receiving a promised land](1-nephi-2-receiving-a-promised-land.md) and there's the verse in [1 Nephi 5.5](../scriptures/1-nephi-5.5.md) where Lehi says "I have obtained a land of promise". He says that years before arriving in the promised land. | ||
|
||
But now, years later, he testifies: | ||
|
||
> notwithstanding our afflictions, **we have obtained a land of promise, a land which is choice above all other lands**; a land which the Lord God hath covenanted with me should be a land for the inheritance of my seed. Yea, the Lord hath covenanted this land unto me, and to my children forever, and also all those who should be led out of other countries by the hand of the Lord. | ||
> [2 Nephi 1.5](../scriptures/2-nephi-1.5) | ||
How long did it take for them to receive that land? Many years. And many hardships. Lehi complained and was chastised at some point (1 Nephi 16). So the journey isn't without its struggles. | ||
|

|
||
# Meaning | ||
|
||
The Lord is with us. Even if we complain and struggle, He wants to help us get to a better place, our promised lands. | ||
|
||
We can be like Lehi and seek to obtain that personal vision. And receive a personal covenant of how the Lord wants to bless us in our lives. |

title: 2 Nephi 1 - Shake off the Chains | ||

# Scriptures | ||
|
||
Keeping the commandments brings blessings: | ||
|
||
> And he hath said that: Inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land; but inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from my presence. | ||
> [2 Nephi 1.20](../scriptures/2-nephi-1.20) | ||
Think about it. Keeping the commandments means being honest, being kind, being respectful, finding a way to help others. Not being lazy. Being productive. | ||
|
||
Literally, nobody can prosper without keeping some commandment. Without finding a way to meet someone's need. | ||
|
||
I also like this verse: | ||
|
||
> Awake, my sons; put on the armor of righteousness. Shake off the chains with which ye are bound, and come forth out of obscurity, and arise from the dust. | ||
> [2 Nephi 1.23](../scriptures/2-nephi-1.23) | ||
It's a rallying cry we can all relate to. We are all bound with chains in life. But we don't have to be. The call to "rise up" is a call to shake the chains to hold you bound. Arise from the dust! | ||
|
||
![Break free from the chains](../img/dalle-breaking-free-from-the-chains.jpeg){.preview-image} | ||
# Meaning | ||
|
||
It makes me wonder: what are the chains that hold me bound? Perhaps there are limiting beliefs. |

title: I'm Grateful for New York | ||

Since I was a kid, going to the city was a quarterly event. Whether going to the Bronx Zoo or the Met for a class field trip or a Yankees game, the city was always an adventure. As I grew up, it'd be the place to go to shows and concerts and visit family members who lived there. | ||
|
||
Then when I was 22, I spent a summer as an intern there. Living in the city taught me what it means to be in the city. | ||
|
||
From a guy who'd come up to help me with something on the Subway, to the lady who gave me some of her loose change to take the cross town bus, I was humbled by how people there look after each other. It's hard to notice when the people are tough on the surface. But deep down they care for each other. | ||
|
||
I've been to LA, and lived near SF, and DC and nothing compares to "city". | ||
