This is part of the great lesson that I heard today in Young Womens.
It really hit me hard because yes,
Like a lot of other girls,
I have self esteem issue.
Honestly, who doesn't at some point in their life?
A comment that my leader said,
"Don't apologize for being who you are."
I think we should all do this.
Every morning say to yourself
"I believe in myself."
Another quote from the lesson was,
“Comparing yourself to others can … result in either feelings of inferiority or superiority. … Accept yourself as the unique person that you are without comparing yourself to others. Doing this will help you love yourself properly without conceit” (Clark Swain, “Q & A,” New Era, Mar. 1979, p. 38).
Sister Sorenson has no Idea how much I really needed this lesson.
Thank you so much.
I hope I enlightened you a little:)
