My True Identity

I have always had a fire within me. A craving to do something BIG with my life. After a trip to NYC, I learned that what I WISH and what I HAVE are pretty dang similar. Joy comes not from doing more, but from BEING more.

As a society we have just accepted as fact that dating is hard and that it is not fun at all. Recently, I discovered that this thought is holding me back! I refuse to believe that. Once I'm married, I'll never be single again. What an incredible opportunity that a lot of people don't get! So, let's believe that dating is fun!

I've believed for a long time that certain decisions would disappoint my dad. I've learned that my beliefs have nothing to do with my dad's thoughts - they have everything to do with mine. Join me as I coach myself and learn some important truths.

Words have power. The thoughts we think have an effect on our minds and on our spirits. Research has even shown that words can change us on an atomic level. The Lord created the Universe with words. The Lord speaks to us with our thoughts and our feelings. Before you speak, T-H-I-N-K. Is it true? Helpful? Inspiring? Necessary? Kind? If not, think something different. It matters.

“All I've ever wanted, all I've ever dreamed of, everything I hoped and all the things I've prayed for, couldn't hold a candle to what I've been given. I've been given what I need.” Life is going to be hard, regardless of whether or not we rely on Jesus. The good news is: we can always choose Jesus.

Because you are the literal offspring of Heavenly Parents, this gives you capacity, power, and strength. That is ALWAYS available to you, even in your human frailty and weakness. Your body is evidence of this - even when it has limitations.

I was raised to save money for a rainy day. I made this mean that if I spent it on something “non-essential” that I was doing something wrong. I learned that money cannot provide all of the things I'm REALLY looking for.

I've been really burnt out lately. I had two friends suggest taking myself on a date. Not only was it THEE funnest date I've ever been on, but I learned so much about God and about myself in the process.

I have a lot of beliefs about myself and dating in general that are keeping me not only single, but very unhappy. Is it possible that it is these very beliefs that are holding me back from finding what it is I'm looking for?

As cliche as it sounds, it really is so important to believe in yourself. Any limitation or obstacle all begins in our head. Like Jo March, if you believe in your ability to be astonishing, your behavior will follow. That's what Christ has been teaching us all along!

I've been insecure about my personality my whole life. I'm loud, emotional, dramatic, and LOVE being the center of attention. I always thought this made me selfish and prideful, until I learned that it's actually my superpower.
