We are not perfect

God is fully aware that you and I are not perfect.  Let me add: God is also fully aware that the people you think are perfect are not.  And yet we spend so much time and energy comparing ourselves to others--usually comparing our weaknesses to their strengths.  This drives us to create expectations for ourselves that are impossible to meet.  As a result, we never celebrate our good efforts because they seem to be less than what someone else does.  (President Dieter F Uchtodorf, General Relief Society Meeting, Sept 2011)
