Even the smallest act of discipleship or the tiniest ember of belief can become a blazing bonfire of a consecrated life.

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. Creation brings satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take organized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty.

It might sound contrary to the wisdom of the world to suggest that one who is burdened with sorrow should give thanks to God. But those who set aside the bottle of bitterness and lift instead the goblet of gratitude can find a purifying drink of healing, peace, and understanding.

We cannot go back in time and change the past, but we can repent. The Savior can wipe away our tears of regret and remove the burden of our sins. His Atonement allows us to leave the past behind and move forward with clean hands, a pure heart, and a determination to do better and especially to become better.

No matter how many times you have slipped or fallen, rise up... You are stronger than you realize.

Now is the best time to start becoming the person we eventually want to be—not only 20 years from now but also for all eternity.

The deepest regret of yesterday can be made right by following the Savior today.
