President Uchtdorf is a swell man! I was hanging at my family's house the other day and happened upon this book. I tuned everyone else out for a little bit and snuggled on the couch. It didn't take long to soak it all in, it's quite small! It is actually the exact talk President Uchtdorf gave during a General Relief Society Conference just with pictures added. I think my favorite section was about creating. Here is a good quote!"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…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—and I am not talking about the process of cleaning the rooms of your teenage children...Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before—colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter. What you create doesn’t have to be perfect…Don’t let fear of failure discourage you. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you—whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside."
