Creating; A lifelong dream...


"And it came to past that he began to speak to [the] people from [his blog]; and they could not all hear his words because of the greatness of the multitude; therefore he caused that the words which he spake should be written and sent forth among all those that were not under the sound of his voice, that they might also receive his words."
-Full Reference- 
I've always wanted to do... something.  Throughout all of my life, I have loved taking apart things, figuring out how they work, making new things out of the scraps.  

It's safe to say; Lego's were my favorite toy while growing up.  

To tell you the truth, sometimes in the past, I grew frustrated with myself;  "I want to have his/her talents!", "Why can't I do stuff like they can!?", "I wanna be creative too!"

Every single time, I eventually came to the same conclusion and sometimes, I didn't like it;

I am me.

I have my own talents, my own abilities, my own skills.  When I don't pay attention to them, I don't hurt others, I hurt myself.  If I want to build up other talents, I practice them, I try them out.  I go to God in prayer and ask him to help me.  Eventually, I become more than I was.  

When I use my talents, my gifts, I am being just as creative as those people of whom I was jealous.

This short clip helped inspire me to use my talents.  Yes, it's aimed at women but it applies to everybody!




This was made from excerpts of a speech given by Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Happiness, Your Heritage


How have you been able to realize and develop your talents?

Feel free to comment!  In fact, it's encouraged! :)

  1. When someone is sick, or has someone in their life die. I love to help and comfort them. When you love doing something and you do it for others. That's how I've noticed my talents to be more noticeable in my life. The more I act on my talents the more that they will develop and the more that Heavenly Father blesses me for using my talents that he has given me.
