There is beauty in the thought that each of us is unique. We are all made up of different attributes, different backgrounds, and different physical appearances. I am the only one that can be me. Sometimes, being unique seems difficult. For each of us, there is always some group that we won't fit in with. There will be times when we feel alone. Times when we don't feel like we have someone that we can confide in. But there is always strength within. We are each children of a Heavenly Father, and He is always with us. He didn't put us on this earth as a unique individual so we could feel alone. He gave us the Holy Ghost, a Savior, and a core inner strength that is made of firm, eternal stuff. For me, it is always important to remember that. I need to remember that I am strong, and have the ability to do hard things. Even if I don't fit in, if I get frustrated with what I'm not, or if I feel a little overwhelmed with life. I can do it. I found a quote that I love in regards to this topic...
So here's to believing in myself. To knowing that I can manage, and I can do it on my own. I have inner strength and by exercising that strength, I can become stronger.
Wow. Powerful quote there. I think you're right. Oftentimes, we blame ourselves for too much. If we don't believe in ourselves, who will? Don't let our circumstances control our faith, let our faith improve our perception and reactions to our circumstances.
ReplyDeleteLexy, I really like the quote about a bird trusting in its own wings too. Everybody being different makes life so much more fun and interesting. We are lucky to all be a completely unique person. We all have strengths and weaknesses, and are entitled to God's help. Believing in ourselves, and not getting frustrated or overwhelmed is very important, especially at this time of the year with finals coming up. :) Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteLexy! I love the quote! It's a beautiful quote. Life is full of challenges and hardships. However, having a strong faith and a believing in ourselves will help us get through the ups and downs of life and do great things!
ReplyDeleteAwesome quote. I'll have to remember that during finals week. There have been times when I was stronger than I thought I was, but I resort back to thinking I'm not that strong and miss out on things that I could have done well at. Thanks for this post.
