Comparison. The death of things I want to accomplish

The death of joy in failure and learning.

The death of believing we can do hard things.

Sometimes we count ourselves out. We forget about the AMAZING things we can accomplish.

Why is it so easy to convince ourselves that because someone else did better than we can do, that we might as well not even try? Why is it that because we don’t think we’re the best for the job, we rid ourselves of the opportunity to to learn?

Why do we so easily forget our divine inheritance?

I want to be a missionary. However, sometimes I feel like I’m not cut out for the job. It’s funny though, because I talk to strangers every day. Just today, I met a man named Justin on the streets downtown. He told my friend and I about where he lived before and his family. We prayed for Justin to have a good Christmas. How come I don’t think I’ll be able to do that on the mission?

A dear friend of mine has told me several times that I’m “a light.” It’s one of my treasured compliments that I hold onto because it shows me that even when I don’t think I’m making a difference, I am.

Everyone on this earth is a light whether they believe it or not. I think we forget what the world would be like without us in it. The answer is, not as happy.

Sometimes when we want to accomplish things we get stopped in our tracks. It’s hard and we aren’t sure we’re even worthy to be the ones doing it, but I promise you are. You are worthy of being happy, of following your dreams, of finding your person, of all blessings in store for you. We just need to do our part to get there.

Luckily for us, we have an inherited worthiness as children of God. Anything we righteously wish to accomplish can be made possible by our Father in Heaven.

“Have faith to see miracles.”

They happen around us everyday. And a lot of the time they happen to show us just how much we can do and that we are worthy.

Remember whose you are and that you are worthy. Always.

P.S.

Often before I post these, I want them perfect and I’ve always been that way. I want things to be the best they can be. I know that’s not a bad thing necessarily, but sometimes I have to remind myself that it’s never gonna be perfect and that that’s okay. I have to remember to just share it before I give up on it and leave it in the dust. The people who read these won’t care about my grammar or if I could have used a better word. The point is to be genuine and share light and as long as I do that in some way hopefully it makes someone ponder or smile 🙂 So, next time you think that someone else’s is better or could do better, say “screw it” and just share your gifts because you may not know it, but the world needs whatever you have to give. ❤
