President Eyring's Talk About Being Too Hard on Oneself


Recommended Posts

Can't find it. 

It was a few years ago. Maybe 5. He talks about not forgiving yourself, being too hard on yourself, etc.

Hopefully, some liked it as much as I did and the brains to save the titles somewhere...

(the irony of being too hard of myself about forgetting where to find this video...LOL)

It was apparently both Pres Eyring and Elder Holland who addressed that issue to youth, who are often discouraged because they make so many mistakes:

“President Henry B. Eyring invites youth to ‘Come to know for yourself’,” excerpts online at https://www.thechurchnews.com/archives/2017-03-04/president-henry-b-eyring-invites-youth-to-come-to-know-for-yourself-20743 , while the video is available at https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/broadcasts/face-to-face/eyring-holland?lang=eng ,

When feeling down or like a person is “not enough,” the leaders reminded listeners that everyone worries that they are not as good as he or she ought to be.

“Nobody in the world has ever been perfect, except for Jesus,” Elder Holland said. “Don’t beat yourself up for not being perfect.”

While it is important to not “be too hard on yourself,” Elder Holland reminded listeners that it is essential to do their best. President Eyring added that it is critical to have confidence in oneself and not play into Satan’s greatest trick telling people they are “just not good enough.”

“In addition to thinking of what you have done wrong, try to remember what you have done right,” said President Eyring.

He encouraged youth to be modest in their expectations in prayer, and to not become casual in their interactions with Heavenly Father.

@thatjimguy did you see this?

This reminds me of the little book  "How Good is Good Enough?"
