Right now, someone in your life feels alone. Maybe it’s a friend struggling with their faith. Maybe it’s someone who doesn’t feel included. Maybe it’s you.

Being your best self isn’t about being better than someone else—it’s about choosing joy, focusing on the positive, and blocking out negativity.

Ever feel like it’s hard to fit in? Brooke Stone shares a powerful lesson she learned in high school—popularity and kindness are NOT the same thing. A study showed that the most popular kids and the most liked kids were completely different people. When Brooke decided to “kill people with kindness”, she left high school with more friends than she could count. So forget about being “cool”—focus on being kind. It’s the real key to building friendships that actually matter.
Have you ever watched a big race? The driver stands on the podium, but behind them is an entire team—the pit crew—who made the victory possible. That’s what it means to be part of Christ’s church.

Self-doubt is one of Satan’s biggest lies. But here’s the truth—Heavenly Father sent you here to succeed. Carmen Herbert reminds us that you already have what it takes.

So today, take that step—He’s got you.
Too often, we think we have to be perfect before we can lead, contribute, or be taken seriously. But Abby Stearns reminds us of an empowering truth—perfection is not a prerequisite.

Whether in school, at work, or in your personal life—what you bring to the table matters. So step forward today, knowing that your voice, your presence, and your influence are needed.
Have you ever felt like you weren’t worthy enough to ask for God’s help? Elder Christofferson reminds us that we don’t need to reach some minimum level of goodness before divine aid is available. If you’re seeking God, He’s already helping you. Mark shares a powerful truth—God is aware of you, He wants you to be happy, and He will always be there. So keep reaching for Him. No matter where you are today, His love and guidance are still yours.
Some days, it’s hard to feel the Savior’s presence. Fear, doubt, and stress can make us feel distant from Him. But Charlotte Varble shares two powerful ways to invite His light instantly: singing His praises and choosing repentance—not just for sins, but for any thought or feeling that separates us from God. Repentance is the door that lets Christ’s healing power into our lives. If you’re struggling today, take a moment to turn toward Him. His light is always there, waiting for you to let Him in.
