Don’t let the low standards and expectations of the world and others cause you to aim beneath your nobility and ability—dream big!

Who am I? Why am I here? Does it matter? Yes, it does. We do matter. What we do matters. And that is both a challenge and a joy.
Madeleine L’Engle (Troubling A Star)
It’s a wonderful thing when someone you love believes in you.
Lucy Mack Smith (Emma Smith: My Story)
Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come.
The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty.
An old proverb says that ‘a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step,’ so watch your step.
Do not feel that because you are single God has forsaken you.
President Gordon B. Hinckey (1910-2008)
A testimony is a most precious possession because it is not acquired by logic or reason alone, it cannot be purchased with earthly possessions, and it cannot be given as a present or inherited from our ancestors. We cannot depend on the testimonies of other people. We need to know for ourselves.
