Self-Worth

1. Love engenders faith in Christ’s plan of happiness, provides courage to begin the process of repentance, strengthens the resolve to be obedient to His teachings, and opens the door of service, welcoming in the feelings of self-worth and of being loved and needed.
   -We Love You Please Come Back, Richard G. Scott (April 1986 General Conference)
   
   
2. Hard-earned achievement brings a sense of self-worth. 
   -Reflections on a Consecrated Life, D. Todd Christofferson (October 2010 General Conference)
   
   
3. Some might even think that their self-worth depends on the length of their to-do list. They flood the open spaces in their time with lists of meetings and minutia—even during times of stress and fatigue.
   -Of Things That Matter Most, Dieter F. Uchtdorf (October 2010 General Conference)

4. That simple, profound doctrine is worth knowing for another reason as well. It brings a feeling of self-worth, dignity, self-respect. Then self-pity and depression fade away. We then can yield to the discipline of a loving Father and accept even the very hard lessons of life.
   -The Pattern of Our Parentage , Boyd K. Packer (October 1984 General Conference)

5. Some of these people in this category dare not hope anymore for fear of being disappointed. May they and their families be helped with thoughts that will bring action, comfort, and a new sense of self-worth.
   -While They Are Waiting (Marvin J. Ashton (April 1988 General Conference)

6. May the Spirit bear witness of that love and somehow touch your heart that you may find the courage to take those steps that will bring you peace and tranquility, that will restore your feelings of self-worth and place you on the path to happiness.
   -We Love You Please Come Back, Richard G. Scott (April 1986 General Conference)
   
   
7. Another mother of four remarked: “My struggle is between self-esteem, confidence, and feelings of self-worth versus guilt, depression, and discouragement for not doing everything I am told we must do to attain the celestial kingdom.”
   -Keeping Life’s Demands in Balance , M. Russell Ballard (April 1987 General Conference)
   
   
8. The feeling of being accepted by someone we love is a basic human need. Being accepted by good people motivates us. It increases our sense of self-worth and self-confidence. Those who cannot find acceptance from desirable sources often seek it elsewhere.
   -Being Accepted of the Lord Erich W. Kopischke (April 2013 General Conference)
   
   
9. We cannot cope with the confusions and the challenges of this world unless we use a clear and consistent moral compass that will unerringly take us through our own personal trials and the tugs and pulls of our own temptations—a compass that will chart our way to peace of mind, self-worth, and joy.
   -Four Absolute Truths Provide an Unfailing Moral Compass Richard B. Wirthlin (October 1997 General Conference)
   
   
10. Yes, we can experience wisdom, peace of mind, self-worth, and joy not only in the life to follow but in the life each of us lives today by walking in the Savior’s footsteps, guided by an unfailing compass calibrated on these four eternal and absolute truths.
    -Four Absolute Truths Provide an Unfailing Moral Compass Richard B. Wirthlin (October 1997 General Conference)

       

Self-worth. This was the last one I chose to do for this practicum. The consent barrage of negativity that we are bombarded with in today’s world is immense. There is always some thing or someone better and we need to be them or buy what makes them better. To me the truth lies in finding the things that make us happy. Cutting the noise that comes through all the outside influences in our lives. Taking our own accountability as a strength not a burden helps us find that self-worth. We build our individual worth up and in turn we build up those around us. The cool thing about it is its a circular motion that keeps building a positive foundation of self-worth.
