We all go through hard times and challenges. It's part of life. And sometimes we feel like we're not doing good enough or we aren't who we want to be. But just take a second a look at how far you have come finding yourself and becoming that person. Sometimes we slip and fall but we just have to get up and keep moving! Its not going to happen overnight and we are going to have to put in some effort, but it will be worth it.
There are a lot of things in my life and on my mind today. I want to be a better person and reach the goal I have for myself. And I just feel like I am not getting there fast enough! I fight myself and make excuses and try to justify that I should just give up and try again later. But that's not a fight I am willing to lose! Because I know better. When you are feeling weak and feel like you can't push on, find a support. A friend or family member. Someone you trust. Someone you can talk to and who can help you. And also be that person for someone else.
"Ha ya it's all good. Just been a downer day and I'm fighting with myself. I'm studying and trying to feel sorry and figure out how to get clean and I just don't feel like I'm getting anywhere. Haha sorry this is really random"
"No no you're good. I've been feeling the same way a lot lately too... I think just getting into the habit of doing things that invite the spirit in, rather than doing the easier things that drive the spirit away, is really hard... It takes so much effort.. and so much having to be conscious of it at all times... And its just going to be really hard at first... I know I've been struggling a ton with just making the decision every day not to go back to what I was doing, because I'm lonely, or I'm not feeling the spirit like I think I should be... Or whichever. But I do know, that what's helped me lately, is just trying... If I'm trying, and I'm thinking things through in a way that heavenly father would want me to be, then I at least feel better about the sacrifices I'm making... But I completely get that the things we are giving up are so so hard to let go of... I'm sorry you feel this way too... I hope it at least makes you feel a little better that someone can probably relate pretty closely to how you're feeling... Lol."
"Thank you!! :) you took the words right out of my mind :P and you are so right! Just making the effort every day to keep moving in the right direction has helped me so much. And I feel like I'm moving so slow and not where I want to be but that's ok. Because when I look back I really have come so far!! I have been taking small steps yes, but they have been getting stronger and more sturdy each and every day! We may not be there yet but we are on our way! to something so great and so worth it!! :D we just gotta keep pushing! Stay strong! Thank you that really helped!! :)"
"...Haha. You're seriously such a great guy... You've been really honest and open it seems about things you've gone through and where you've been in life, and you are one of the greatest examples I've ever had walk into my life. I really am glad you told me how you were feeling tonight. I've had a rough night too, and think I needed that :) lol"
You may never know how much of an impact you can be for someone unless you reach out and share. Be strong and be real. Don't hide your struggles or your strengths. Find people to share with and be a support. It may be difficult at first but it will be worth it! Don't be ashamed of your beliefs. Help others and let others help you. It's simple :)
