I plead with you young women to please be more accepting of yourselves,
including your body shape and style, with a little less longing to look
like someone else. We are all different. Some are tall, and some are
short. Some are round, and some are thin. And almost everyone at some
time or other wants to be something they are not! But as one adviser to
teenage girls said: “You can’t live your life worrying that the world is
staring at you. When you let people’s opinions make you self-conscious
you give away your power. … The key to feeling [confident] is to always
listen to your inner self—[the real you.]”
And in the kingdom of God, the real you is “more precious than rubies.”
"To Young Women" Jeffrey R. Holland General Conference October 2005
