In this episode, I talk about my experiences while discovering my self-worth and self-esteem, growing up in Poland and later in life.  Have you ever wondered about your true self-worth and authenticity?The Lord said:"…For the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."I am a daughter of God, and that is more than Enough! I am who I am meant to be, with my body, gifts, talents, and uniqueness. I am capable and I am competent in achieving what I was called to do and what I desire. I find strength and joy in God, knowing that all is possible with Him. I express gratitude daily for learning opportunities; I strive to be mindful of others and remember we all have a place on this earth and are valuable. In the quote by Bonnie L. Oscarson, we learn:"The real source that we should turn to to find out our value is our Heavenly Father. … The thing that gives me the greatest comfort is knowing who I am. … If we really understood that we are literal sons and daughters of Heavenly Father, I don't think we would ever question our value." 7https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/new-era/2017/07/what-youre-worth-and-how-to-know-it?lang=engHave you ever felt under pressure because of the opinions of others? Brigham Young said, "Why should we worry about what others think of us? Do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?"― Brigham YoungIn conclusion, I share one of my songs, which I composed while a young teen, titled "Mały Grubasek."www.kasiasmusic.comwww.kasiasfaithjourney.comhttps://www.facebook.com/kasiasfaithjourney/

What emotions have you been holding onto that have prevented you from feeling true joy? In this meditation, we release the negative and welcome the joy that comes from the blessings of the temple.

REFERENCES “The perils which I am called to pass through” (D&C 127:2). “Seem but a small thing to [you]” (D&C 127:2). “Glad tidings of great joy” (D&C 128:19). “Begin where you are, love them as they are, and prepare for the family you want to have in the future” (Bonnie L.

Getting and Staying on the Covenant Path We'll start with a devotional address to Ensign College by Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson entitled, “Be a Covenant Keeper.” Then, we'll hear from Melissa Western with her BYU devotional address entitled, “Vaulting to Greater Heights: Replacing Fear with Lasting Peace.”

This is a moment to reflect on the service we give, as Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson teaches that even small acts of service make a big difference.

Do you have a social media account? How about friends? Family members? Neighbors? Do you have colleagues? Do you go to church events? Attend things for your kids? Grandkids? Do you have eyes? Ears? If you said yes to any of these questions, chances are you are keenly aware of the lives and paths others are on. You're also probably sizing yourself up. Which brings more questions-- is my life good enough? Am I good enough? Feeling Inadequate is something we have all felt. I seem to have lived most of my life in this space. I have seen a lot through the lens of "I'm not enough." and maybe you have too. So, this month we are discussing takeaways to help us remove the power and sting of inadequacy. MIND: Trust in who you are. Who am I? Have you had that existential crisis moment where you take off your many hats and strip away all the titles only to wonder who you are? " I am a beloved daughter of Heavenly Parents with a divine nature and eternal destiny." A truth that is spoken to us over and over again. Our divine nature gives us a straight and narrow line to our Heavenly Parents by nothing other than birthright. We can strengthen it, but it’s always there. When we doubt who we are, we have a tendency to look at others for validation, for a sense of where we should be, and a glimpse into what our path should look like. “For strait is the gate, and narrow the way that leadeth unto the exaltation and continuation of the lives, and few there be that find it.” (D&C 132:22.) Instead of a one-size -fits-all path, we each have our own straight and narrow path, connecting us with our Heavenly Parents. We each have the same destination- eternal life, and hold to the gospel, companionship, and example of Jesus Christ- but, our paths will be as different as we are. BODY: Choose unity over comparison “The fact of the matter is, we really and truly need each other. Women naturally seek friendship, support, and companionship. We have so much to learn from one another, and we often let self-imposed barriers keep us from enjoying associations which could be among the greatest blessings in our lives.” (Bonnie L. Oscarson) With people you can connect or compare, but you can't do both. PURPOSE: Experience every phase as sacred Sacred means to be connected to God or dedicated to a religious purpose and so deserving veneration (great respect or reverence). If we can view each phase of our lives as being sacred, and as an opportunity to further connect with our Heavenly Parents, it puts the phase we are experiencing right now in a new light. Instead of wanting to push the fast forward button on some of our painful moments and phases, can we can just allow what is? If we know that everything is for our good, can we trust in ourselves to have the capacity to weather the storm? And trust that our Heavenly Parents will help us? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/michelle48/message

Bonnie L. Oscarson teaches us how Joseph Smith's life teaches us about our potential, standing up to criticism, and repentance. A testimony of this prophet brings us closer to the Savior. Support the show.
