Being Accepted

https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/unity-in-diversity?cid=HP_FR-14-9-2018_dPAD_fMLIBxLIDyL1-B_&lang=eng
I just watched this video and was impressed that it dealt with some difficult topics. As a person who dances (I don't march) to the beat of a different drummer, I know that it is important to keep firmly in my mind who I really am -- a daughter of God.  If everyone else in the world does not accept, or approve of, who I am and how I do things, it doesn't matter. I am still a daughter of God. I have been given amazing gifts by my Heavenly Father. I have unbounded potential and tremendous worth.

Some people struggle with accepting people who are different from themselves. Though it is challenging to not feel rejected, we must see the situation for what it really is. It is not our difference that is the problem, but their lack of acceptance.

A Woman's Lifeline

A friend sent me this and I identified with every age (except the last!). I was prettier when I was younger, but I enjoy life so much more now!

A Woman's Lifeline 

Age 3: She looks at herself and sees a queen.

Age 8: She looks at herself and sees Cinderella.

Age 15: She looks at herself and sees an ugly duckling (Mom I can't go to school looking like this today!)

Age 20: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" but decides she's going out anyway.
