"Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be."
Doctrine and Covenants 93:29
I think that knowing where we came from is possibly as important as knowing where we're going, because it informs our choices and gives us ourselves to compare against so that we can improve. ... And that is true beyond mortality as well.
Knowing that we lived before this life, and at least some of the choices that we made (we know which side we were on in the War in Heaven for instance) helps us to examine ourselves and know that there is light within, even when we feel dark.
Today, let's think about some of this... we're eternal beings. We were meant to be. And God is helping us to make more of our eternity. :) Let's move forward with that perspective rather than thinking of this limited mortal existence as our everything and being willing to sacrifice any part of eternity for something merely mortal. Let's live for the things that last, and improve our forever, not just our now.
