So this week has been very interesting considering some events that have taken place. On top of that, I have been thinking a lot about what kind of person I want to be. I wanted to find the perfect balance of being a good friend, not being judgmental, and upholding my standards. I received this quote from my secret sister (Valentines thing for Relief Society) and it was exactly what I needed. This testified to me that the Lord knows us and knows what we need and when we need it. I know that He lives and loves us all.
Here is the quote:
"There is only one thing that absolutely everyone likes- water, because it has no taste.
BE LEMONADE.
Most of us are afraid to be too intensely who we are. We're like lemonade with too much water and too few lemons. We dilute our flavor so we won't offend anyone. And, in the process, we give away our power, the essence of who we are that makes us unique and unforgettable. The world belongs not to the one who fits in but the one who stands out. Embrace yourself. Walk into every room demonstrating your brilliant, gorgeous, unforgettable self. The world is longing for you to step forward in all your lemony goodness, not in a watered down version. And not all, but enough, people will welcome you with open arms. On the days you're feeling a little less than bold, less than brilliant, less than fabulous, add a lemon."

Moral: Don't be afraid to be yourself. When in doubt, add a lemon.
