Do It

Our family motto this school year came from Spencer W. Kimball.

 

"Do it. Do it right. Do it right now."

 

We talked about how there will be things that we want to try. Like cheer leading competitively, dance, flag football, soccer, tumbling, highly qualified testing in school, etc.

 

We talked about how there will be promptings we feel to help us make a new friend, help out someone who is hurt, lonely, or scared, or acts of service we can do for others.

 

We talked about overcoming our fears and shyness. We talked about being brave.

 

We talked about setting goals that we want to achieve through hard work and determination.

 

We talked about how the Holy Ghost will speak to us, if we listen, and we should just, "Do it."

 

Don't let fear, anxiety, nerves, worry about what others will think stop us. Just do it.

 

We talked about how we may not always be successful. We may not make the team, make a friend, receive the expectation we hoped for, and that's OK.

 

But, we must do it anyway. Do it. Do it right. Do it right now.

 

Song for FHE: Nephi's Courage but I couldn't help but think of LL Cool J's jam "Doin It."

Treat: Mountain Dew right before bed - not a good idea and a new pair of running shoes for back to school
