"If you want to give a light to others, you have to glow yourself"
Thomas S. Monson. General Conference, April 1999. "For I Was Blind, but Now I See."
"Of all the creations of The Almighty, there is none more beautiful, none more inspiring, than a lovely daughter of God. Who walks in virtue, with an understanding if why she should do so. Who nurtures her spirit with everlasting truth."
Gordon B. Hinkley. November 2003. "Words of the Prophet: Daughters of the Almighty"
"A woman needs to be told she is beautiful. She needs to be told she is valued. She needs to be told she is worthwhile."
Thomas S. Monson. October 2012 General Conference, Priesthood Session
"Another way Satan deceives is through discouragement. He attempts to focus our sight on our own insignificance until we begin to doubt that we have much worth. He tells us that we are too small for anyone to take notice, that we are forgotten—especially by God."
Dieter F. Uctdorf, October 2011 General Conference, "You Matter to Him"
"God knows that some of the greatest souls who have ever lived are those who will never appear in the chronicles of history. They are the blessed, humble souls who emulate the Savior’s example and spend the days of their lives doing good"
Dieter F. Uctdorf, October 2011 General Conference, "You Matter to Him"
"At times we may even feel insignificant, invisible, alone, or forgotten. But always remember—you matter to Him! "
Dieter F. Uctdorf, October 2011 General Conference, "You Matter to Him"
"Sisters, wherever you are, whatever your circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you with an infinite love."
Dieter F. Uctdorf, "Forget Me Not"
"Her self-esteem cannot be based on physical features, possession or lack of a particular talent, or comparative quantities of anything. Her self-esteem is earned by individual righteousness and a close relationship with God. Her outward glow is generated by goodness within. And her patience is much more apparent than any imperfection. "
Elder Russell M. Nelson, October 1989 General Conference, "Woman- of Infinite Worth"
"Feelings of worth come when a woman follows the example of the Master. Her sense of infinite worth comes from her own Christlike yearning to reach out with love, as He does."
Elder Russell M. Nelson, October 1989 General Conference, "Woman- of Infinite Worth"
"There will always be voices telling you that you are foolish to believe that you are swans, insisting you are but ugly ducklings and that you can’t expect to become anything else.
But you know better. Because of the revealed word of a merciful God, you have seen your true reflection in the water and you have felt the eternal glory of that divine spirit within you. You are no ordinary beings, my beloved young friends all around the world. You are glorious and eternal.
No matter your circumstances or trials in life, I urge you to remember who you are, where you came from, and where you are going—for the answers to those questions will truly provide confidence and direction for your life."

I chose the topic of self-worth, because I, at times, tend to have low self-esteem. Satan definitely uses my insecurities to discourage me, and feel like I have little to offer. I need to remember my worth in the sight of God. When I am feeling lonely or down on myself, I need to turn to the Savior to lift me up. I need to focus on being a woman of virtue. I love how President Hinckley talked about the need to nurture your spirit. If I am nurturing my spirit, my self- esteem cannot help but be strengthened as well.
