AM I SPECIAL?
(Thanks to the last 3 minutes of YW that I managed to catch, this post has come to pass)
"One of the greatest weaknesses in most of us is our lack of faith in ourselves. One of our common failings is to depreciate our tremendous self worth."
- Elder L. Tom Perry
What's worst than thinking you're just another human being on earth is to put down who you are. I guess it's a stage that everyone has to go through. Comparison and bench marking is totally fine. But when it evolves into unrealistically high self expectations coupled with negative self talk, it's simply no-go. When we do so, we put down our individual worth and tend to forget that we do have our own strengths and talents. Like how the primary song goes "everyone is needed for just what he can do. You're the only person who ever can be you".
I've learnt to be more thankful for what I have been blessed with, as well as taking difficulties as they come and making the best of it. If something doesn't doesn't build yourself or build others, it's not worth the time.
Which reminds me.. YW in Excellence this friday! All i need is to get my personal progress book signed (:
