The Truth About Self Doubt

 

The Truth About Self Doubt

what one LDS woman believes 





I am a perfectionist, it is a blessing and a curse. With this trait there comes motivation, but also the never-

ending longing to be perfect, and no matter how hard I try, I am never satisficed. We all struggle with self

 worth to a degree, some more then others, but we as people have one thing in common, fear. 


For a great period of my life, I questioned, what might cause us to fall into these pits of self doubt, and

 how come sometimes they are so deceitful. One simple answer has always waved through my brain, it

 might be simple on the surface, but within, it is much deeper. Fear, that is the broad answer, our terror of

 failure is rooted far more then we ever realized.  This is when one must remember that faith and fear

 cannot exist together. If I was perfect, I would not need the help of God, it is okay to make mistakes,

 without them, we could not grow. 


Satin knows this, he despises it. He hates that we have agency, and a body, that will one day be made

 immortal; Because he does not have a body, of flesh and bone, he has made it his goal to make us detest

 ours. He tries to take away our freedom by crippling us with fear, that we are not good enough, and our

 bodies as well as our spirits are worthless. 



These anxiety's make us think that we do not deserve to be in the presence of God, or even pray to him.

 Never, has this been true, countless times Christ has said to find the lost sheep, those that have strayed

 away from the flock, weather that be mentality, or physically. He rejoices in the return of one of his

 lost children. 


Amidst a trial, within the storm of doubt, turn to him, Christ will help you see yourself as you truly are

, he will not tell you lies as Satin does, he knows your worth; it is only a matter of time, that you will

 know it too.

This Will Bring you True Satisfaction.

Fear, the force that constantly dictates our decisions. This power magnifies insecurity, and causes us to compare ourselves to others. There is also something else that panic leads to, something that one person triumphs at. I allowed terror to run my life, for years I would hide myself, blending in until I no longer knew who I was, letting every insecurity carve its bloody handprint into my brain until I believed every word.  We often wish for what we don't have, assuming that if we were prettier, thinner, more wealthy, or in a relationship, that then we would feel satisfied. Fear entangles our brain in a web of lies, saying that we are not enough, and if we can just achieve something else then we will be happy. This belief is deceitful, dangerous, and addicting.  I constantly battle with the false notion that because of my visual impairment, I have to make up for the difference, that I am less then others because I cannot see as they do. I tell myself that I  am only worth it that

Women of God

Women of God  What makes a woman powerful? Many have asked this question, and there have been a  spectrum of answers. One might say her beauty, or determination. Another might respond  that it is her confidence. These are all great attributes, however, they are all fleeting if the  woman does not have this one single characteristic. This quality is not obtained through her  looks, or the people she comes into contact with. It is something few women have, but  something that everyone can feel, it shines like a light in the darkness. It can lift up these  qualities, and make them eternal.  This power is her identity, the sureness of herself, not through her achievements, but through  a person who knows of her true value, a person that suffered every pain just for this single  woman. This person is Christ. Christ gives us true confidence, love and virtue, because he sees  us as we truly are. He removes all the doubts in our minds, the sufferings of the soul that  plague us to our core, he
