We all have a destiny, we just have to find it

There is often something that especially young adults struggle with. We get so caught up with a fear of commitment. Perhaps going on a trip to Europe would be fun, but you might be missing something at home because you were away. You might want to serve a mission but might miss several events during those two years you serve. There are endless examples I can give that show what we often struggle with committing to. As a young adult, I am one of many who struggle with it myself. I attended an amazing Devotional from Elder D Todd Christofferson where he spoke of commitments. If you haven't watched, please do. Here is the link for it: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/live-broadcasts?lang=eng In this conference, he quotes from his wife: "You can't have everything, where would you put it?" Marriages, colleges, even just simple choices to go somewhere has become suddenly avoided, that intense fear of committing to something. Elder Christofferson explained that if we avoid choices because of the fear of missing other opportunities, we will suddenly realize that we are missing all of the opportunities. The choices you make will bring you further joy and happiness, but like Sister Christofferson said, "you can't have everything". Yes, every choice we make will put an impact on our future lives, but Elder Christofferson explained that "Unless you make a choice, your life will be erratic". Life doesn't just give you everything exactly like you expected. Get married, find what you love, put your foot into doors and move on with life. Don't wait for the perfect moment or the perfect spouse. You would have to be perfect yourself if you are to find the perfect spouse. And that follows along with the next fear that he mentioned. The fear of the sacrifice entailed. You will need to make sacrifices, but man, if you are making sacrifices for good things, that will lead you to a life filled with joy that you can't even imagine. I was going to sacrifice eighteen months to serve a proselyting mission, but when I was honorarily released, I felt all of those sacrifices were in vain. But they weren't because I was still able to do what I desired. And that was to serve the Lord.
