Day 59

The Atonement has taught me some hard lessons. Not necissarily about being forgiven, but just about how the plan works, and how it works for me. I used to think I needed to change other people in order for my life to be happy and work. I was wrong. I always ended up on the short end of the stick in that department because you can't change people. You can only change yourself. When I finally realized that, it helped me move on with my life in a better direction. Through the Atonement, I can heal and change for the better. I only have control over me. Everyone is responsible for themselves. When I finally realized that, it was such a relief. I didn't have to try and fix anyone else, all I had to do was fix me. Make me better. And I'm still working on that. Every day. But I can do it with the help from the Atonement.
