This post is based on a talk from Richard G. Scott on April 1990 General Conference and I hope you enjoy this post as much as I did. If you can't see the Image below it says "The way back is NOT AS HARD as it seems to you now. Satan wants you to think that it is IMPOSSIBLE. That is NOT TRUE. - Richard G. Scott."
I love what he mentions throughout the talk. My favourite part of the talk was when he asked questions. He mentions,"Do you find that when someone mentions the mistakes you’re making, you are prone to lie about them, to indicate that they are much less severe than they truly are? Do you admit only to what is publicly seen and try to hide from others how really bad conditions are? Worst of all, do you lie to yourself, pretending that things are all right when they are not? That attitude prevents you from getting the help you need. It provides an invitation to more serious problems.
When you are honest with yourself, you may feel afraid. To change will require you to take an unfamiliar path, and it is uphill and narrow. The other is so inviting, but it leads to heartache. None of your partners in error will help you onto the upward path. They think only of themselves. (See D&C 10:25.) You know the result of following their path—unhappiness, failure, disappointment, and greater fear. They don’t love you. They want to use you. Don’t listen to them.
Lucifer will do all in his power to keep you captive. You are familiar with his strategy. He whispers: “No one will ever know.” “Just one more time.” “You can’t change; you have tried before and failed.” “It’s too late; you have gone too far.” Don’t let him discourage you."
It relates to us, because we all need to be honest to ourselves even though we may feel afraid. We receive great blessings of doing the right decisions of telling the truth. Sometimes, we may feel discouraged and not tell the truth. I have noticed when I was younger that I had trouble of telling the truth. As I was growing up, I learnt more to tell the truth to everyone and I feel so much joy when people can trust me when I tell the truth.
In your own time, you could read the talk. Here's the link below;
