Don't Look Around, Look Up

*preface: I started writing this blog earlier this month
----------
What a crazy, humbling week it has been.
I've learned so much more about myself this week.
This week I have been looking forward to the #LDSgenconf
I've needed this refresher because of some personal things that I
have gone through recently.
----------
This past #generalconference I have been drawn to a talk
by an Area Seventy named Elder Yoon Hwan Choi.
I'm not exactly sure of the name of his talk but
the quote that he quoted in it "Don't Look Around, Look Up" 
really struck a spiritual cord with me.

I will be the first to admit that I'm not always
the best person to look up.
I'm constantly worrying about my image
and what people are thinking about me.
I know that I shouldn't and there are more days now,
where I don't think about it but some days just creep in where
I do worry.
It's important to realize we should never worry about how the world
see's us.

I don't want to seem all selfish but I believe that Elder Choi's talk
was especially for me.

It's important to realize that the only person we should
be worrying about judging you is our loving Heavenly Father.
He is there to support us and love us.
He wants us to do well in this life so that we can return
and live with him in our next life.
I know that if you trust in Him and live as He says we should
live we can return to Him.

Life isn't always going to be roses
but if we remember to Look Up then
we have to start believing that things
will get better.
