Goals for Individual Worth
 



1. You are a daughter of Heavenly Father, who knows you and loves you. Read Psalm 8:4-6, Jeremiah 1:5, John 13:34, D&C 18:10, and Abraham 3:22-23. Write in your journal how these scriptures teach you that Heavenly Father loves you and is mindful of you.


2. Learn the importance of planning and preparation. Read D&C 88:119. In your journal make a list of your hopes and dreams for your future home, family, and education and some important things you would like to accomplish in your life, including becoming a wife and mother. Then record a plan that will help you achieve your goals. Share this plan with a family member, leader, or friend.
 

3. Read D&C 18:10 and D&C 121:45. Do all you can to build others and make them feel of worth. Every day for two weeks notice the worthwhile qualities and attributes of others. Acknowledge them verbally or in writing. In your journal write what you have learned about the worth of individuals and how your own confidence grows when you build others.
 

4. Participate in a dance, speech, music, or drama performance at school, in your community, or at church. How did your participation in this activity strengthen your feelings of individual worth and self confidence? Record your thoughts in your journal.
 

5. Visit with your living relatives to learn as much information about your family history as possible. Then complete a pedigree chart of your family and list the temple ordinances that have been completed for each person.
 

6. Learn about the importance of Patriarchal blessings. Find out why they are given, who can give them, and how to prepare to receive one. Discuss with a parent or Church leader how a patriarchal blessing can guide your life. If you have not received your blessing, prepare to receive it.
 

7. Heavenly Father has given you special gifts. Read 1 Corinthians 12:4-12, 1 Corinthians 13, Moroni 7:12-13, Moroni 10:8-18, and D&C 46:11-26. Ask a family member, a Young Woman leader, and a friend to write down positive qualities the Lord has given you. List your gifts in your journal, and write how you can continue to develop these gifts and use them to serve your family and others.
