Beatitudes As Spiritual Progression (Matt 5, 3 Nephi 12)

POOR IN SPIRIT - recognizing I'm not where I want to be
MOURN - processing the implications of the need to change
MEEK - realizing that I have the power to choose to change
HUNGER & THIRST - Choosing to change
MERCIFUL - not beating myself up for not having changed earlier
PURE IN HEART - single-mindedly focused on the work of becoming the new person I want to become
PEACEMAKERS - gently & diplomatically handling other people who resist my change
PERSECUTED - realize it's a reflection on the persecuters, not on me
REVILED - it doesn't even cause me to doubt or hesitate any more. I'm so focused on who I want to become that I don't think about the revilers.
