I have, many, many times! But do I give up? Never, I just keep trying, and once in a while I get a good Pinterest worthy thing to show off.
Today I was thinking that sometimes people get down on themselves because they expect their lives to be like a Pinterest board, perfect without any “nail it” s on it. I told my daughters today as we read the scriptures, “ don’t ever worry about what others think of you, just worry about what Heavenly think of you.” Your life is not a Pinterest board, you will have lots of “nail it” s in your life, but it is ok, keep trying, because among all those ‘“nail its” there is going to be many successes, many perfect pictures, many times when you will give yourself a pat in the back for a job well done. You are a daughter of Heavenly Father, you have His divinity in you, if that doesn’t make you see how much you are worth, then I don’t know what could. Just knowing that You are His daughter, His child, should make you be different, be happy, should give you the power to try and try and try again, should make you see others with more love, compassion and patience. Because He made you. Take your time to be what you are supposed to be, make mistakes, learn everything, or at least try it, take that dance lesson, bake that cake, make that hat, explore everything! And while you are at it think that it is ok if it doesn’t look like or is like a picture perfect , Pinterest worthy thing, but that next time you will do better. Beauty can’t be rush, or would you rush a rose to bloom faster? (One day at a time show) I hope we could remember this and give others the chance to bloom at their own pace, and stop the judging, the hate, the comparing one with another, but start loving more, and comparing ourselves with our yesterday self and stop thinking that we should be like a Pinterest board full of perfect accomplishments because we are not! But we can become perfect, eventually! https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2017/10/be-ye-therefore-perfect-eventually?lang=eng
