Strong & of a Good Courage

“The Lord does not expect that we do what we cannot achieve. The command to become perfect, as He is, encourages us to achieve the best of ourselves, to discover and develop the talents and attributes with which we are blessed by a loving Eternal Father, who invites us to realize our potential as children of God. He knows us; He knows of our capacities and our limitations. The invitation and challenge to become perfect, to achieve eternal life is for all mankind.”
~Jorge F. Zeballos

www.lds.org is my official favorite website! I love being able to browse talks given by our prophet. Lately, I've been reading talks on JOY. These talks are excellent for lifting the soul.

It's so easy to judge ~ but not so easy to be judged. Especially when you are the one judging yourself, and you realize you are judging by the same standard you've held everyone else to. Ooh, if that's not poetic justice, then I don't know what is.
Being a teenager is a lot harder than I realized. And teenage girls who cry all the time and freak out for no apparent reason are given a lot of crap. I'm here to tell you that sometimes all you need is a good cry, and sometimes no apparent reason is reason enough to freak out.

It's hard not to get lost. It's hard not to forget. But "...the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest...." All we have to do is remember that.

End of lecture.

I think we judge ourselves and feel like we fall short because we can see all of our flaws. Everyone else seems perfect because we only see them at their best. If we saw them at their worst all the time like we see ourselves, we'd be easier on ourselves. Miss you!

I've thought a lot about that same thing, actually. I read a book that showed that really well -- where from one character's point of view, he was an idiot and the other character was amazing, and from her point of view the opposite was true.
