Love what you've you got

Today in young women's we talked about self worth and learning to love your self.
My absolute favorite lesson every time!
Everyone deserves to smile.
Your reflection does not define your worth.
We all need to recognize the talents and gifts that god has given us to work and bless with on this earth.
"For all have not every gift given unto them, for there are many gifts, and to every man is given a gift by the spirit of god. To some is given one, and to some is given another, that all may be profited thereby." Doctrine & Covenants 46:11-12
If we take full advantage of our gifts we will all be unstoppable.
I like looking at this topic as loving yourself rather than recognizing your talents. Both are important but I believe the foundation to happiness is recognizing your own self worth. Put your self in situations with people and things that make you happy. Don't waist your time on things that pull you down.
Everyone deserves to be happy no matter what the circumstance. You are worth more than you now. Your value is the product of your thoughts. Don't miscalculate your self worth by multiplying your insecurities. When comparing your weaknesses to someone else's strengths you will never win.
What does a self loving person look like?
-Smiling
-Out going
-Extremely kind
-Head held high (NOT COCKY)
-Serving
-Open to loving others
- Willing to compliment
We all could do better at each of these. Im not saying you have to be perfect at all of them or even any of them. I just have learned from past experience that these things when active in my life make me a happier person and my "light" shine that much brighter. I want you guys to get one thing out of this. SMILE. It pulls you up. Make yourself your own. And never forget that you mean the world to someone.
"Butterflies don't know the color of they're own wings, but human eyes know how beautiful they are. Likewise you don't know how good you are, but others can see how special you are"
                           Jesus said love everyone, that includes yourself

A smile is BEAUTIFUL.
