• The most important step of all is the first step.  Start something!  What if that idea you have in the back of your head is a really good one, one that might end up helping tens of thousands of people?  You owe it to the world ot act.  Or maybe it will help only a few people:  The same advice applies.  If you don't do it, you are missing out on something big, and so are the people who could have been helped.

• We don't always know the details of our future. We do not know what lies ahead. We live in a time of uncertainty. We are surrounded by challenges on all sides. Occasionally discouragement may sneak in to our day; frustration may invite itself into our thinking; doubt might enter about the value of our work. In these dark moments Satan whispers in our ears that we will never be able to succeed, that the price isn't work the effort, and that our small part will never make a difference. He, the father of all lies, will try to prevent us from seeing the end from the beginning.

  Dieter F. Uchtdorf
