  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.

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.

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 ...
