Never give up on anyone. And that includes not giving up on yourself.
If you recognize a need for change, make the change; don’t procrastinate. -Dieter Uchtdorf.

In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time.
Think of the purest, most all-consuming love you can imagine. Now multiply that love by an infinite amount-that is the measure of God’s love for you.
Don’t let fear of failure discourage you. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you – whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside.
You have agency, and you are free to choose. But there is actually no free agency. Agency has its price. You have to pay the consequences of your choices.
Heavenly Father is constantly raining blessings upon us, but it is our fear, doubt, and sin that, like an umbrella, block these blessings from reaching us.
It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your life’s story will develop.
