"May I invite you to rise to the great potential within you. But don't reach beyond your capacity. Don't set goals beyond your capacity to achieve. Don't feel guilty or dwell on thoughts of failure. Don't compare yourself with others. Do the best you can, and the Lord will provide the rest." - Dieter F. Uchtdorf, The Influence of Righteous Women
Just do your best, dont get your hopes up too much.

While out of the other side of their mouth we hear that the Lord requires perfection and if we try really, really, really hard we can do all that the Lord (church) requires of us.
"For I the Lord give no commandment unto the children of men save I shall.....yadda yadda yadda...."

Actually, compared to what usually gets preached at women, this is refreshingly realistic. Usually the goal is nothing less than perfection, with total self sacrifice in the name of serving children, husband, church, and it is all your fault if you can't do it. I would much rather, "don't get your hopes up too much" than, "it is all your fault if you can't be the perfect wife, mother, church member by completely giving up everything yourself."
