The lesson in Relief Society today was by far my favorite. We discussed
how we all feel awkward and down on ourselves when we’re meeting people
and in groups. How we always second guess ourselves because we put the
rest of the world on a pedestal. Why do we do that? We found that every
single one of us thinks that. But why?? We didn’t necessarily dwell on
the why but we moved on to the ‘how can we overcome this’? Part of it is
the fake-it-till-you-make-it philosophy. You put yourself out there and
just try. Eventually it doesn’t become so scary. Another part is
realizing who you are. Not your name and major kind of whatever but
really who you are as a spirit child of our Heavenly Father. We ALL have
the most amazing divine potential and yet we hide in the dark because
we’re afraid to let that light show. So you know what? Turn on that
light bulb! Light that candle! Whatever lighting fixture you’ve got
going on inside you, turn that sucker on and show the world just how
dang amazing you are!
Of course we weren’t told those exact words…but you get the gist. it’s
ridiculous how the world has become a place where we’re always told that
we aren’t enough so now no one believes in themselves. Absolute
poppycock! This needs to change. So be happy with who you are and turn
on that light!
