it takes time to develop confidence in ourselves

i am not really sure what to blog about right now, but i feel like blogging. i guess i will try and convey a message that might reflect what i feel at this moment.

change

i feel like i need to worry less and serve more. i need to smile, laugh, and have fun. i also need to complete my homework. i need to actually do my homework. i am not very good at doing my homework, so i think i might start doing it at the library more often. i feel like i am less distracted there, and i get more done in a shorter amount of time. i know i can do well in my classes, but i just need to be motivated. i feel as though i need to figure out my major. should i graduate in april with my associates and decide from there? i guess i will decide soon. i feel like i need to be a better friend. i feel like i should toughen up and be less sensitive to hurtful comments. i want to be more optimistic; look at the bright side. i need to be less discouraged and more hopeful.  

sometimes i think that we get so discouraged because we think, "oh, they're better than me" or  "i can't do that." but really, if we have faith in ourselves, put forth the effort and just try - we may actually be able to accomplish things. i know that it's not easy. i know that it takes time to develop confidence in ourselves. i still lack confidence. i still sometimes stand on the sidelines because i am too afraid. i should have more courage; confidence. 

none of us our perfect, we all have our weaknesses. may we strengthen our weaknesses through the help of our Savior Jesus Christ and not only have faith in Him - but also in ourselves.
