00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:09.750
Paisley: Hi everybody, Paisley
imperfect. Here. Again, I want

00:00:09.750 --> 00:00:12.240
to keep today's message short.
There are three things that I

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.540
saw as I was scrolling Pinterest
the other day that I wanted to

00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:21.090
share. The first thing, it all
has to do with our journey to

00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:23.700
become better become a better
version of ourselves, right?

00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.620
The first thing is a quote from
elder Holland. He said, I

00:00:28.650 --> 00:00:32.130
vaguely remember this talk, it
was an amazing talk. But he

00:00:32.130 --> 00:00:35.670
said, if for a while, the harder
you try, the harder it gets.

00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:40.620
Take heart. So it has been with
the best people who ever lived.

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:45.210
It might get harder before it
gets easier. And that's fine. It

00:00:45.210 --> 00:00:48.000
has been like that for everybody
else you can get through it to.

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:53.100
To follow up with that is a
quote from President Nelson.

00:00:53.910 --> 00:00:57.240
Keep studying the scriptures.
Keep doing things that builds

00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:01.230
your faith in Jesus Christ. And
then notice the wise choices

00:01:01.230 --> 00:01:06.150
you're naturally drawn to make.
So as we continue to study the

00:01:06.150 --> 00:01:09.060
Scriptures, and as we continue
to work on becoming our best

00:01:09.090 --> 00:01:15.060
selves, excuse me, we will
naturally be drawn to make wiser

00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:15.780
choices.

00:01:16.860 --> 00:01:19.830
And here's the last one. And
this one is from someone named

00:01:19.830 --> 00:01:26.130
Brianna West Wiest. And I really
liked this one. If you think

00:01:26.130 --> 00:01:30.300
about it, as we're trying to get
better, we are in a sense,

00:01:30.300 --> 00:01:34.890
leaving a version of ourselves
behind. And she says your new

00:01:34.890 --> 00:01:38.850
life is going to cost you your
old one. It's going to cost you

00:01:38.850 --> 00:01:42.960
your comfort zone and your sense
of direction. It's going to cost

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:46.470
you relationships and friends,
it's going to cost you being

00:01:46.470 --> 00:01:51.270
liked and understood. But it
doesn't matter. Because the

00:01:51.270 --> 00:01:54.780
people who are meant for you are
going to meet you on the other

00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:59.520
side. And you're going to build
a new comfort zone around the

00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:04.320
things that actually move you
forward. And instead of liked,

00:02:04.350 --> 00:02:09.030
you're going to be loved.
Instead of understood, you're

00:02:09.030 --> 00:02:13.380
going to be seen. All you're
going to lose is what was built

00:02:13.380 --> 00:02:19.170
for a person you no longer are,
let it go. I love the end of

00:02:19.170 --> 00:02:22.650
that all you're going to lose is
what was built for a person you

00:02:22.650 --> 00:02:24.840
no longer are. Let it go.

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:33.070
So as we continue to work harder
to make ourselves better, and to

00:02:33.172 --> 00:02:39.329
be better and more faithful
contributors in these last days.

00:02:39.432 --> 00:02:45.486
Know that it's okay. When some
things get left behind. Know

00:02:45.589 --> 00:02:52.054
that making yourself better is
an okay thing. And also remember

00:02:52.156 --> 00:02:58.313
that it might get harder, and
that's okay. Take heart. So it

00:02:58.416 --> 00:03:04.676
has been with the best people
who ever lived. And I just want

00:03:04.778 --> 00:03:11.038
to leave you with those three
things. It's okay. It might get

00:03:11.141 --> 00:03:17.298
harder, but it will be okay.
Study your scriptures and watch

00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:23.044
yourself make better choices.
And know that what you're

00:03:23.147 --> 00:03:29.714
leaving behind is something that
was built for a person that you

00:03:26.069 --> 00:03:29.721
Thank you for joining me. Thank
you for letting me keep this one

00:03:29.778 --> 00:03:33.431
short today. I really appreciate
your time. I hope you're having

00:03:29.817 --> 00:03:34.230
no longer will be. And all of
that is okay.

00:03:33.488 --> 00:03:34.230
a great week.
