Today I feel so nostalgic. I feel a great desire to return to the MTC and I really know that my mission was a special part of my life. Right now I KNOW that if I could conjure a Patronus it would work, from the power of these feelings. I remember the excitement, the love, and the bright times that I experienced! I feel not quite, but a little close to the way Alma felt when he declared "Oh that I were an angel". Oh that I were a missionary again! Oh that I worked at the MTC! I still could!
Today I want to challenge you to think of some time in your life when you had a powerful emotion that changed you for the better! Goodness--there isn't anything that I can't do! There is so much light!! There is so much to be done in the world!!!
To quote HeMan- "I HAVE THE POWER!!!"
Or rather, WE HAVE THE POWER!!!
We have time! We have minds! We have resources! We have so much!
What is stopping me today from being so amazing that I change the world?
What is stopping me from helping someone?
What is stopping me from making something beautiful?
What is stopping me from smiling?
What stops me from doing more?
The answer to all these questions is exactly the same: Nothing.
Nothing is stopping me from shining and soaring and making the world better than it is! How can I sit around and waste my time when I have so much to do?!?!?!
Let's go and just DO IT! Take chances! Make mistakes! Get messy!
CHANGE THE WORLD!
You can do it! We can all do it! We are the future! Let us all go forth and be awesome!!!!
The hard things are only the hard things until they are easy, done, and we realize just how much more we can do than we think we can do!
Don't you get it?
God MADE YOU.
He doesn't make failures. He makes successes. He makes geniuses. He makes the movers and shakers. He makes us all to succeed!
Never, EVER give up. Don't you dare. Don't you even look back or be afraid. Don't you EVER listen to those voices in your head that lie to you.!!!!!
You are amazing!!!!!!!
You have infinite potential!!!!!
Keep your head up!!!!!!!
Don't forget--God loves you! Christ loves you! I love you!
You--yes, you. Go out and do it!
Sincerely,
Doug Knuth
