Countless YW and RS lessons focus on building confidence. Sometimes I wonder why I have so much. There R things that make me feel bad-I'm not happy with my weight-BUT-despite this I still think I'm gorgeous. It's not just that-I know, actually there's no doubt in my mind, I'm-intelligent, talented, spiritual, and fun.

I love this life. I am so blessed. I'm so grateful for the atonement of my Savior. Maybe that's the key to everything. I feel really good about the person I am. There are many things I need to improve but I really am taking part in eternal progression. I'm grateful my bishop challenged us to improve daily because there is actually so much I can do to improve each day. Each time I workout or eat well I improve my body. Each prayer I say and each scripture I read improves me spiritually and takes me closer to my Father in Heaven. Without making this paradigm shift I can become so self-centered and have a woe-is-me attitude that fails to notice the abundance I enjoy.

I don't trust people and I feel better keeping them at a distance. While I am fraught with imperfections my tolerance for this is practically nil with certain people. I expect so much so of course I ultimately am disappointed when people fall short of this yet I hope others will B patient and understanding with me.

I'm excited to B living in such a time as this and I know what opportunities and experiences await me. Looove the gospel of Jesus Christ, looove life, and love people. I need to work on my love for people. It needs to be more about them and less about me.
