So I realized something...

So I was writing in my journal today and I realized something that I think is pretty important. I like who I am. That sounds so weird, I know. (I can't help but think of the line from Enchanted when Nathaniel asks prince Edward if he likes himself and then Prince Edward just smiles and says, "What's not like?") I realized that when I am truly being 100% Klaire, I am so happy. My whole outlook changes. Suddenly, I don't feel like I'm not enough or that so-and-so is so much better at this or that.

I'm not saying I'm perfect because we all know that's a joke but I"m trying to be the best I can. Improving is part of living the Gospel. If we aren't improving we are falling behind.

We are all special children of our Heavenly Father. We are all unique. We have talents and gifts and a destiny that is uniquely ours, made with our best interests in mind. I know that Heavenly Father loves me. He is guiding me and blessing my life in ways that would not happen if He were not in charge. Things happen for a reason. Every situation, good or bad, helps us become more like our Heavenly Father and more ready to live with Him for eternity. Frustration and discouragement are of the devil. Don't let Satan have that power over you. Stand tall, you are a child of God. Keep this in mind as you use your agency during the day...
