How to deal with feelings
of inadequacy or feeling like I'm not good enough. In this world,
we've been counseled by the Twelve Apostles
and the Prophet to be careful about the social
media, the internet, the news, all of these perceptions
that we have of the world. And part of that is
because of the damage it can do to ourselves. When I'm on social
media, I'm not looking at people's worst,
I'm looking at people's best. I'm not seeing what's
behind the camera, so it's really easy for me
to compare my weaknesses to these strengths
that I see or what I think are these strengths. And it's really
easy for me to say, "You know what, today I didn't
make a meal out of scratch." I may have gone out to
eat today, but that's OK. My best every day is
going to be different, and our--everyone's best
is going to be different. And that's OK. It's OK to be different. It's OK to not need
the world's approval. It's because
ultimately what matters is that our Heavenly Father
really is the only one that needs to approve of us. And it's not even
that He's going to stand there and
disapprove of us, but He's going to push us
in the right direction. And so if we worry or
if we concentrate more on pleasing the Lord and being
someone that He can be proud of and that He knows
that we can be, then those feelings
of inadequacy will eventually
melt away, and we will become stronger and
more comfortable in who we are as people. [MUSIC PLAYING]
