A road block, a cliff, a giant wall: any word can be used to describe this
You ask yourself, How am I supposed to succeed? I can't do better than my best, and clearly I'm not strong enough to break through this wall of steel.
Don't believe that.
Ever.
All you need is to change your perspective. Yes, grades are important, and at some point you might need to be accepted into the Nursing Program or the Physics Program or whatever major you want to pursue.
Just remember one thing. Well, remember lots of things (like that chocolate helps a lot, the cup really is half full, the Saviour loves you, you can do it, all trials will give you experience and be for your good, etc.)
But be sure to remember this.
(And this is what makes me ridiculously happy all the time.)
:)
Remember that someday, you will have a best friend.
An eternal best friend. And they will love you more than anyone else in this world.
And you will go shopping for cereal together. You will laugh together over forgetting to put sugar in the cake or burning the toast. You'll do dishes together and drink hot chocolate together. You'll go on walks and bike rides and play tennis together because there's no one in the whole world who you'd rather spend your time with more than that wonderful bestest friend.
And you will be happy. Oh, so happy.
That's one of the things I look forward to most in this life. It keeps me going sometimes, in all honesty. And maybe that sounds a little weird, but it's all part of having an eternal perspective. Look at the long run. Look at who you are going to be. Look at your potential. Forget about that test you failed, and just do your best on writing that thesis statement, and endure work for just a little longer. Hold on, don't let go, and keep trying. It will work out. Heavenly Father promised it would.
So it will.
And in the meantime, a little chocolate along the way never hurt anyone :)
