Right In Line With What I've Been Learning...

Still awake. Still on a sugar high, evidently. Anyway, I've been listening to this...

It's President Dieter Uchtdorf's talk from Women's Conference this past September. President Uchtdorf is a member of the First Presidency of the entire organization of the my Church - worldwide, and he is considered a Prophet in our faith. So, what he says for me and millions of others carries quite a bit of weight. His talk goes right along with what I've been learning lately about myself, and my worth, and my relationship with my God. I love his German accent. It brings me comfort for some strange reason. Haha. Thought I'd share it. Hope you enjoy it.

If you can't listen due to technical difficulties, you can read it here...

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveller, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair, and having perhaps the better claim, because it was grassy and wanted wear; though as for that the passing there had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black. Oh I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
