Elder Holland is the man!

Wasn't Elder Holland's talk on depression this weekend amazing??? I love General Conference. I have been looking for a talk like Elder Holland's for a long time. And he just nailed everything on the head. His talk was much needed for a lot of people. If you didn't get a chance to watch it, here is the link to it (I had trouble trying to download it, so this is plan B).

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. OUr deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is out light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking to that others won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsiously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Marianne Williamson
"You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body." -C.S. Lewis
"Smile. It's the second best thing you can do with your lips." ;)
"Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." -GK Chesterton
"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." -Bob Marley
"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, and small minds discuss people." -Eleanor Roosevelt
