Paisley: Hi everybody, Paisley imperfect. Here. Again, I want
to keep today's message short. There are three things that I
saw as I was scrolling Pinterest the other day that I wanted to
share. The first thing, it all has to do with our journey to
become better become a better version of ourselves, right?
The first thing is a quote from elder Holland. He said, I
vaguely remember this talk, it was an amazing talk. But he
said, if for a while, the harder you try, the harder it gets.
Take heart. So it has been with the best people who ever lived.
It might get harder before it gets easier. And that's fine. It
has been like that for everybody else you can get through it to.
To follow up with that is a quote from President Nelson.
Keep studying the scriptures. Keep doing things that builds
your faith in Jesus Christ. And then notice the wise choices
you're naturally drawn to make. So as we continue to study the
Scriptures, and as we continue to work on becoming our best
selves, excuse me, we will naturally be drawn to make wiser
choices.
And here's the last one. And this one is from someone named
Brianna West Wiest. And I really liked this one. If you think
about it, as we're trying to get better, we are in a sense,
leaving a version of ourselves behind. And she says your new
life is going to cost you your old one. It's going to cost you
your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It's going to cost
you relationships and friends, it's going to cost you being
liked and understood. But it doesn't matter. Because the
people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other
side. And you're going to build a new comfort zone around the
things that actually move you forward. And instead of liked,
you're going to be loved. Instead of understood, you're
going to be seen. All you're going to lose is what was built
for a person you no longer are, let it go. I love the end of
that all you're going to lose is what was built for a person you
no longer are. Let it go.
So as we continue to work harder to make ourselves better, and to
be better and more faithful contributors in these last days.
Know that it's okay. When some things get left behind. Know
that making yourself better is an okay thing. And also remember
that it might get harder, and that's okay. Take heart. So it
has been with the best people who ever lived. And I just want
to leave you with those three things. It's okay. It might get
harder, but it will be okay. Study your scriptures and watch
yourself make better choices. And know that what you're
leaving behind is something that was built for a person that you
Thank you for joining me. Thank you for letting me keep this one
short today. I really appreciate your time. I hope you're having
no longer will be. And all of that is okay.
a great week.
