Everyone has different lives therefore they must endure different trials that are unique to them. Satan would have us think that we cannot endure all things, he wants us to feel like failures, be discouraged, etc. However, you must press onward and wait for Satan's depressing spirit to leave you. Remember your past triumphs over the adversary and you will get past your trial. You must have faith that the Lord can get you through anything. If we cannot humble ourselves and ask the Lord for help, He cannot and will not help us!
Adversary=adverse; something is fighting strongly for you to do something. The Lord will comfort your and help you get past your fears. The gospel will give us patience to endure our trials. Don't be discouraged and exercise your faith. Our trials are only temporary. To know true joy and happiness, we must know what misery and unhappiness are. There must be opposition in all things.
Fireside:
Mentors are exemplary people, they are involved in peoples lives.
Do not settle for mediocrity, strive for excellence. Every person is worthy of having the best, of doing the best, we need to only work for it!
By being with people, they begin to follow your example and you being to follow them. When I lived in Wasilla, AK, my family and I were inactive in the church. Any of the friends that I had were not members of the church; some of them were good friends, however many of them were not good examples for me. By the time I was in sixth grade, I had a mouth like a sailor. My family never knew this, but when I was at school, every sentence had some form of cuss word in it. Looking back on it, I feel like an idiot, I had thought that saying those kind of things sounded cool and made me more popular. I moved to North Pole, in between sixth and seventh grade and thank goodness I did. My family started to become more active in the church and I was able to quickly make friends with a lot of the LDS kids that were my age or a little older. I can honestly say that if it was not for my friends, specifically Panika, I know I would not be where I am in the church today. Even though I experienced trials that I never thought I would while living in North Pole, I am so grateful for it and the friends that I made. I know that it made me into the person that I am today.
Being around great people does not make you less, but it in fact makes you more.
You cannot heal or help others if you cannot heal or help yourself.
Mentors do not have to say things that rub off on you.
You have to remember that you are in charge of your life. You have to be willing to make the choice.
People can tell you how to live your life, however you are the one who is making the ultimate decision.
If you had ten years to live, what would you want to fix/change? Who would you go to for help?
Remember, your attitude is everything, you can turn any bad situation or trial into something good by being happy and positive.
