Be 100 Percent Responsible | Elder Lynn G. Robbins

[@rn6045]

I been less active for the 3 years since my mission (served a great mission but fell off when I came home) depression warped my sense of reality and satan got a hold of me for a while. Now I'm making my way back, I set up a meeting with bishop this week, being obedient to the commandments, been clean from drugs for the last 2 months, but my goodness, the natural man is so strong! I get so overwhelmed and very bad anxiety but I know I cant be sad about it, this pain from sin I feel is the consequence of forgetting Him. I felt close to the edge and was about to take my own life but Im not going down without a "wrestle". I own this pain, I own the loved ones I lost on the way, I own the bad reputation I've gained. I want this so bad and no matter what my friends, family and mission peers may say about me. I will not give up until I'm reunited with God in that Holy Temple again!! Pray for me brothers and sisters. If your struggling let me know and we'll do this together. God bless you all and dont be deceived by the devil. Theres a reason why he's called "cunning".

[@Joshuacowley]

Hope you're doing well brother, it can be very difficult, but rely on Christ and you can do this.

[@peggybogar3059]

I hope you seek the help you need to continue on the path of repentance which our prophet says we have need of doing daily, Hang in there.

[@trinamakaafi3092]

@@Forestgump12able I am going to remember that forest, a self reflection question I shall ask myself came to mind after reading your response to RN...here it goes...'Am I a satan enabler in the comments and actions I do? Did that conversation help do the bidding of the devil?' Thank you for assisting RN and me....New selfreflecting questions to add to my routine....

[@trinamakaafi3092]

RN...how are you doing now? I will say a prayer for you and me and all who need and seek the Lord's way...

[@yellowyosh470]

I will pray for you! Don't give up. I used to be addicted to something's that I never thought I could get off of. I testify to you of the power of the atonement of Jesus Christ. He can change your heart and heal you as you turn to him and pray. He is more powerful then Satan. Don't worry about what other people think you are worth or you are capable of. Remember who Jesus Christ and God KNOW who you are and what your capable of. Don't give up, don't stop trying! Accepting responsibility for where you are is important, and so is accepting and remembering in who you have trusted! Jesus Christ. I pray you will choose to turn to the Lord for help in overcoming your challenges. Give up all your son's to know him and I promise you your life can hold much Joy! ❤️ Take care brother!

[@TheMedcoder]

Absolutely life changing for me. Even after listening to this talk 3 times and taking notes, I feel I am only beginning to grasp the eternal ramifications to this message. Bless you, Br. Robbins!❤

[@zissler1]

definitely have to listen a few times to get it.

[@mikefowler480]

Same here. I’m on the 3rd time

[@hennore]

Elder Robbins is arguably my favorite speaker, and I selfishly want him called as an Apostle so he can speak every General Conference 🙏🏾

[@mindaerror2543]

I agree, his talks have probably been more impactful to me than any other general authority outside of the top 15. I would love for him to be called as an apostle so we could hear his wisdom all the time! 😇‼️

[@BerylWalubengoAnyitiNanyama]

I keep coming back to this sermon

[@TheLastDispensation]

me too 😅

[@OtherMike5000]

This is a flawless roadmap for forgiveness and healing. Thank you so much for posting this!

[@BerylWalubengoAnyitiNanyama]

Probably one of the best sermon I have heard. So good. So good.

[@AnthonyWariner]

A very profound yet clear talk. It speaks to me direclty.

[@LuLuLyman]

This should be a TED talk, it deserves that kind of recognition. Just Briiliant.

[@AlejandroMadrid-tn1gp]

I keep listening to this talk over and over. And I am grateful for that.

[@danielledavis6204]

Thank you for this incredible talk!

[@denisesorenson4000]

This is amazing!! He was so straight and to the point!! I needed this "I have been living that list" !!

[@JustTrying87]

Me too!

[@corinnebeenfield8227]

I heard this about a year ago, and I am so grateful for how it has shaped how I am teaching my teenagers! This is massive for us, because I’m divorced from their dad and he is an example of a victim mindset. I don’t want that for my kids. Teaching them 100% responsibility gives me hope that they won’t pick up that victim-mindset crutch. Love love love this lesson!!

[@justinvharper1320]

I absolutely love this talk and I’m so happy that it popped up on my feed. It is wonderful. I’ve listened to it a ton because it’s just that good.

[@EMonzon]

This man is peculiarly brilliant

[@EnoughAndToSpare]

Brilliant!!!! Imagine if our public leaders (servants) took 100% responsibility. So much brokenness in society would be mitigated.

[@asmith7094]

This principle of responsibility is what is missing from society (among other things)

[@notablepianolessons2322]

I love this talk-Guidance that I have been praying for.

[@reaganorton1710]

I absolutely love this seminar! It has had me take a look at my life and my actions and I am definitely sharing. Thanks for showing me this James!

[@stylerpeete4193]

I feel like I’m in kindergarten again after hearing this amazing talk! The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my very favorite movies and he used the story absolutely perfect. It gave me a whole new perspective on everything! This talk was 99% perfect, I kept hoping that at the end of his talk he would mention that the Count and his family let all their hard feelings go and decided to follow Christ.

[@samuelufamily5900]

🤣🤣🤣

[@primalj_2a433]

Yeah him not finishing the story makes it sound like the rest of his life was miserable.

[@lindahenry9052]

I don’t see it that way. He left us the opportunity (intentionally, I believe) to take responsibility for ourselves and our desire for a full understanding and go to read and study for ourselves. To read more deeply, research more fully, and ponder more thoroughly the story of the Count, the stories of Laman, Lemuel, Nephi, Korihor, Nahor, and the gospel plan of our Redeemer, “to receive more light”. This is our call, and we are so blessed through this and the referenced talks and resources. I am excited about these opportunities for me and for y’all too. Let’s stand together as “champions” and brothers and sisters, and go get that “more light” that he promised us in the opening.

[@julietchristensen3957]

I don't think the book ended that way, did it? I did have to read an abridged version of it in high school, but I don't remember the ending being that way.

[@柏心妮]

His talk was about the original source. The book did have a sad ending; the film was all Hollywood.

[@vanessabarthelmes2249]

Gold nugget after gold nugget. Thank you so much for writing this!!

[@deanngoodwin7053]

This talk is truly beneficial in identifying the adversary’s subtle influences. Perhaps another thing to think about is how we inadvertently practice depending on other people through perpetually trying to win their affection or even trying to gain supposed “needed” recognition to bolster our own self esteem. When we realize, that before birth, we lived with the greatest love from heavenly parents it seems only natural we crave the same here on earth. If we remember the Savior seeks to succor us with outstretched arms; little by little we come to know of His great power to heal us from the enticements of worldly pursuits. If ever we taste, in the flesh, this great love spoken of by Lehi in his vision of the tree of life, we’ll come to not only savor it but diligently seek it above all other pursuits.

[@sophieclinnick95]

Beautiful

[@JustTrying87]

I am ashamed that i have been doing nearly everything on that list. I am glad that i came across this excellent talk by Elder Robbins. I need to do a lot of repenting.

[@mikenorton7262]

Great talk that makes me think more profoundly. One thing I would state differently: 12:41 "...why do so many [OF US] frequently turn to it." We ALL use these 'tools of escape'. No one is immune, and THAT is taking responsibility. Now, we should take responsibility for what we can do to change our experience. Our failures are ours, and so are our successes! Just think how many of us (me included!) dismiss their actions that bring happiness as well as cause unhappiness. Both must be true if we are 100% responsible. If using "the list' robs our free agency and gives it to Satan (for failures AND successes), when we accept our involvement, we have gratitude to God's, and retain our agency. Also, I'm not sure that Anger is a 'negative' emotion. It IS an emotion, and when we use it to excuse negative behaviors, it has a negative impact, but it is not always negative in and of itself (even Christ was angry at times).

[@primalj_2a433]

I have had so many problems with people saying don't get angry being angry is wrong. It just seems like you're not allowed to be angry or sad or have any kind of emotion. If that makes sense

[@CameronVanTassell]

Most people lose control when angry. Perhaps there are some that can be in perfect control in such a situation. I haven't met them. Christ in his perfect state could avoid such an outcome. So in theory I can agree with you. In practice, not so much.

[@flordeundia808]

I love it, that is the way we grow, taking responsability,and applying the scriptures in daily life not just learning it and let it in our brain like just knowledge .

[@oldpowerlifter]

I have a list of talks that have changed my perspective, or bring into focus important principles. This is on that list.....brilliant!

[@pavanikotala9243]

May I know the list?

[@asmith7094]

Care to share the list?

[@Boundless500]

Oooo! I've got a list too. But my ultimate TOP one is Loren Daltons "You are receiving revelation" Ensign college 2018...covers EVERYTHING we need to know/do in this life.

[@lauralio2055]

Thank you for this talk. I really needed to hear this.

[@edenshum6426]

@Jeffhennore... I have said the EXACT SAME THING! I wish he was called as an apostle because his sermons are amazing and make so much sense!!

[@stylerpeete4193]

He is awesome! There is no doubt. He will be called to apostleship if God sees that it is to be so.

[@dorothyhagberg7934]

This is very inspiring and amazing. I could watch this over and over very life changing. God bless

[@googlefan11]

Alot of good information here. I haven't studied the Book of Mormon but may want to have a look now.

[@noahclark7603]

11:00 anti-responsibility list

[@carmentorres8058]

💞Amazing awakening of how I must be more responsible and more understanding of my character...to be more honest and true to myself, my covenants and to follow properly Heavenly Father's commandments, laws and rules...total obedience which will allow us to be more like Him.💞

[@AnaliliB]

Thank you, Elder Robbins! 🙏💖

[@leonoraortegacuento4617]

I was totally relieved to this talk

[@birdstrum1555]

I love the reference to the Counte of Monte Cristo! Especially since Dantes ended up causing hurt to innocent people in his quest for revenge and those innocents forgave him.

[@maxnutty9733]

I just found this and really needed this today. Great message to all!

[@byuspeeches]

We are glad it impacted you, Max!

[@samuelufamily5900]

Love this talk 🙏🙏🙏

[@judicaelmantsoumou-ld3ml]

these little words got tapped gladly,so let him our heanly father bless us all saints.

[@Akerelephebe]

Wow I love this .. I'm inspired the word give me confident and hope God bless you

[@asmith7094]

Wonderful ideas

[@ruthchukwu9083]

WOW,Glory to God

[@lizknight128]

Wow. Amazing insights!! Thank you.

[@emilybailey4283]

One of the ways Satan decieves is to get others so caught up in what they think someone else is guilty of that they err and excuse themselves of breaking commandments, they turn self righteous and become liars and decievers in order to try to claim they caught others in lies and deceit. I've seen it. I'm still seeing it. The challenge is to be aware of my own sins and leave others be. Hope that the Lord in all His mercy will make known to others their self deception, and correct them in His way, and take care of my own failings and short comings. Pray for them that despite fully use you and persecute you. Love your enemies. Pray always that you may come off conqueror. We must be aware of our own unworthiness before the Lord. Do not let Satan distract you.

[@AlejandroMadrid-tn1gp]

I love this.

[@jessandjessica452]

Thank you! ❤

[@luisahumada6081]

25:00 remarkable story, but what happens when just one of the spouses does this every time? or if the other just receive the apology and put him/her in the victims' role? A person could do these things one or a hundred times maybe, but sooner or later a "material's fatigue" with affect the weakest link of the relation...

[@matheusndeutapo483]

All I needed to heed to

[@MehdiManavi]

How do you defend yourself from harm from people who have wicked intentions?

[@matthewzundel7634]

Yeah, I think you have to be careful here. There is a difference between taking responsibility for your actions, and thinking you're responsible for others actions. Especially those that impact you. Elder Holland once advised that you don't spend one second in a relationship with someone who belittles or demeans your self worth.

[@davidswanson5669]

How timely.
