First and foremost, I would like to ask you a question and I would like you to think about, ask yourself and answer the following question in your own time.
The question is, "What is your definition on finding the way back?"
This post is based on a April 1990 General Conference talk and it is called, "Finding the Way Back" by Richard G. Scott. I absolutely loved everything that he mentioned throughout the talk. I would love to share with you the highlights that I love while reading the talk and I hope you will learn something new as you are reading this post.
He mentions, "Do you find that when someone mentions the mistakes you’re making, you are prone to lie about them, to indicate that they are much less severe than they truly are?
Do you admit only to what is publicly seen and try to hide from others how really bad conditions are? Worst of all, do you lie to yourself, pretending that things are all right when they are not?
That attitude prevents you from getting the help you need. It provides an invitation to more serious problems.When you are honest with yourself, you may feel afraid. To change will require you to take an unfamiliar path, and it is uphill and narrow.
The other is so inviting, but it leads to heartache. None of your partners in error will help you onto the upward path. They think only of themselves. You know the result of following their path unhappiness, failure, disappointment, and greater fear. They don’t love you. They want to use you. Don’t listen to them.
Lucifer will do all in his power to keep you captive. You are familiar with his strategy. He whispers: “No one will ever know.” “Just one more time.” “You can’t change; you have tried before and failed.” “It’s too late; you have gone too far.” Don’t let him discourage you."
It relates to us because we all need to be honest to ourselves especially when we feel afraid to tell the truth. We receive great blessings for telling the truth.
I would like to encourage you to read the talk in your own time and here is the link below.

That is all from me for now, and I should be posting some time tomorrow at Pacific Daylight time zone.
