"There will be times in your lives when you will not know the quick answers for your circumstances. Rely then on the word of God. Your Father in Heaven will always teach you to fear not, but to be of good cheer, to lighten your ship of clutter and focus on the spiritual matters, to commit yourselves to the covenants you made, and to put your sail of righteousness into the wind and head courageously toward the land of your eternal future.
The Wright brothers committed themselves to do what no one else had ever done before-something numerous highly recognized people had declared was impossible. The Wright brothers took time to do their homework. They were humble and smart enough to appreciate and learn about the work of others who went before. And they tackled the problem line upon line, precept upon precept. They realized that there were three main requirements for a practical flying machine:
First, the pilot had to be able to control the aircraft.
Second, the wings had to produce lift.
Third, it had to be powered by an engine to stay aloft.
They had their goals defined and worked diligently on them one day at a time. Leonardo da Vinci said, “He turns not back who is bound to a star.”
Similar principles and requirements apply to your own journey through life and toward the destination of eternal life. Divine principles have to be learned and lived as you prepare to rise up on the wings of eagles.
First: You Have to Learn to Control Yourself
Second: Your Attitude Will Determine Your Lift and Altitude
Third: You Need to Find and Trust the True Source of Divine Power
To stay one more time within the metaphor of flying an aircraft, many things are required to make an airplane fly and fly safely, but the most important thing, as I used to call it, is the “wind beneath your wings.” Without it, there is no lift, no climb, no flight into the wild blue yonder or to faraway, beautiful destinations.
The Holy Ghost will be the wind beneath your wings, placing in your hearts the firm conviction of the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ and His place in the eternal plan of God, your Eternal Father. Through the Holy Ghost you will know your place in this plan and your divine eternal destination. You will be converted to the Lord, His gospel, and His Church, and you will never fall away." - Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Dieter F. Uchtdorf was a member of the Presidency of the Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when this devotional address was given on 11 November 2003.

So many are into manifesting, but I believe the gospel and many of Dieters talks already pave the path to manifesting. So grateful for such inspiring men like him (much needed unashamedly n much needed directness n my favorite Henry B Eyring (his humility n love for our Heavenly Father is contagious)! We need to hone those spiritual skills more then ever before n he shows us how to do this so easily well they all do but HF knew what He was doing with these men of God who help us.

Carregar coragem com bom ânimo mais vez hoje , oh! eu estava a orar com Jesus e me imaginei cheia de alegria numa conversa muito bem humorada com Ele rindo enquanto eu fazia planos para o futuro e pensei sobre qual o tamanho que pode ser o futuro, realmente é impossível não ser engraçado. Mas eu sou humildemente grata pelos obstáculos , inclusive a internet fraca, mas todo os exemplos que aprendi e aprendo até hoje com Ele e com o Pai Celestial , eu os amo muito! Realmente estamos tão perto e podemos voar para cima. Eu estava conversando com uma filha sobre os últimos dias e, dei a ela como um exemplo simples para ilustrar e ela entender, ao contrario do que ela esperava que eu falasse, uma coisa mais elaborada talvez. Mas eu disse a ela, para se lembrar do filme da Disney. Aladdim . Ela disse que lembrava e foi falando das partes dos mundos. Eu disse não, mas, aquela parte que o vilão perde porque em sua ambição ele se tornou escravo e foi engolido pela lâmpada do gênio. Minha filha disse: - sim, lembro . Então eu fiz ela se lembrar que antes do vilão ser engolido pelo poder da lâmpada e ser aprisionado, o vilão agarrou e esbravejou ao seu papagaio de maldades: "Você vêm comigo! " E é simples assim. Eu disse a ela: antes de ir, o mal perdedor irá tentar levar quem estiver por perto dele, e, nós devemos ficar perto de quem amamos.

During this life you can not remain in neutral ground. Cultivate a relationship with God through sincere prayer. He is the source of wisdom and compassion. Opposion in all things. Agency,. Act for himself- choose liberty or cautivity. Agency is spiritual matter. Agency choose obedience or rebellion. You must choose to whom you should serve, you can not remain in neutral ground. Attitude- feasting, reading, praying, pondering, aplying in your life. Do not treat scriptures like fast food- but ponder them and how to applying in your life. When you are in the service of your fellowman you are only in the service of God. The gift of the Holy Ghost provide Strength, power, peace and comfort. Inspir virtue, kidness, develop beauty of person. Is ligth to the whole being. Discipline to yiel your feelings to the prompt of the spirit. Ask Heavenly father- when you learn to abode by the holy ghost all things follow in place. Many things are required but the most important is the wing beneth your wind. Find and trust the divine power. You will know your place in this world if you follow the Holy Ghost.
