What a great message. Our Heavenly Father sent each of us, his children, down to earth to succeed in becoming like him. Let this be our excuse to avoid temptation, serve others, and keep his commandments, for this is our duty and identity as children of almighty God and I am grateful for this knowledge, which is provided by the standard works and modern prophets.
in my childhood I read the story many times, then forgot till today.. so powerful as a message! single father of only child who is now a young adult mild down syndrome girl... we know what rejection feels like and so the story struck a chord quite loudly and grabbed me...it really really makes me ask God to help us live more like normal families instead of resigning to only hope for good living in the next life (for us it's been like a carriage with a missing wheel)
Fantastic message. The world is full of jerks who would put us down. This type of inspiration can help us see ourselves not as the world sees us, but as God sees us.
We love president Uchtdorf messages. We have heard the story of ugly duckling since our childhood and in this message president Uchtdort tells us the story from a very interesting perspective. We would like to let president Uchdorf know that our family has received his prayer.
This message gives me faith, I have gone through 15 reconstructive surgeries, my face looked so bad, I found people who made me feel bad about my appearance, it hurt me so much that there were people who had no empathy for what I was going through. This message has saved my life several times when I think that my life is worthless. I am not pretty like others, and the people who hurt me have everything in their lives. I wish everyone could see something good in everyone, but it is not always like that. There are people who only see appearances. Thank you President Dieter F Uchtdorf for this beautiful message. God bless everyone with love, empathy, unity and consideration in this world. ❤
This is so inspirational, especially with the world today! I think it's important to remember that what the world wants, is if no consequential value to God.
This message is so powerful and important, not only for the youth, but for everyone who wants to to learn something about himself. Thank you, Elder Uchtorf, and thank you for posting this video.
I love this message because all LDS children are taught the song "I Am a Child of God" but we never really stop to think about what that really means and how that can impact us if we let it.
Truly touching After I had watched this video I looked into my mirror and felt truly beautiful and joyful! God is always there to help you and to keep you in the right path and I speak from expirience when I say that when God looks at us he sees not a average and normal person but a beautiful and humble child.
I love this video so much because it reminds me that i am a daughter of a heavenly Father that loves for who I am and that he made me the way I am for a reason.
I almost cried watching this video. I've always been hatin' myself because I look no beautiful. Many opportunities has passed and wasted because of the low self esteem that I have. Up until now, I keep on looking far beyond my worth.
I love this, it is so true. Only when we see ourselves and others as daughters and sons of God we experience for ourselves the pure, true Christ like love. I pray this for all!
You can't imagine how happy it makes me feel to trick or treat at his house and hear "Hallo... Haapy Haalowen in his German accent!! What a spiritual giant!!
When you really know who you are ... That knowledge changes everything! ... You will never be the same, because that knowledge, awakens the divine potential within you and lifts you up to fulfill the measure of your creation as a child of God.
I love the ugly duckling story. It denigrates an entire group through a contrived and unlikely scenario while teaching that self worth is entirely based on superficial appearance. What an amazing message.
But this works both ways! Once we understand who WE are, we have to recognize who others are as well. And need to do our best to be kind and patient... the way we want others to be to us! We're all children of the same Father, who loves all of us.
What I like to think is that we are like 20 dollar bills, no matter if we get crumpled up or if we are old we all are the same worth to our Heavenly Father, just like a 20 dollar bill we will get thrown around a get crumpled and stepped on but our Heavenly Father sees a perfect 20 dollar bill no matter what we do
@sweetestgurl4u2luv I love him too :D And his speech--"Your Happily Ever After"'s 1 of my fav too!! My fav quote from Your Happily Ever After is "You will learn for yourself what every heroine has learned: through overcoming challenges come growth and strength" =) We're going to be the princesses and going to have a HAPPILY EVER AFTER~~!!! That's so cool and awesome =) Cindy

Regardless of faith, this is something everyone should see!
How cool is it that the same God who created mountains, oceans, and galexies, and looked at you and said the world needed one of you too? :)

I could watch this over and over. Incredibly done!! We all are truly God's children trying to find our way.

Thank you Pte Uchtdorf. Every now an then I need to hear this.
All the people who pressed the thumbs down were crying so much that they pressed the wrong one.
No matter how many times I listen to this I cry
i love this talk SOOOO much. it is amazing! I love President Uchtdorf (and all the first presidency) he is so great :)
I love this Church. And I LOVE my Jesus. Utchdorf is so wonderful to be an instrument to share this important message.
I almost cried watching this video. I've always been hatin' myself because I look no beautiful. Many opportunities has passed and wasted because of the low self esteem that I have. Up until now, I keep on looking far beyond my worth.

I am so very Thankful for the wisdom that God has given to these great men. I hear the love and spirit every time. It has helped me dearly.
This is a very powerful message that my teen daughter really needed to hear and I feel all of us need to hear at one point or another.
I was meant to find this video right now. Amazing.
You can't imagine how happy it makes me feel to trick or treat at his house and hear "Hallo... Haapy Haalowen in his German accent!! What a spiritual giant!!
Such a great reminder. (I tend to forget this A LOT.) Love Pres Uchtdorf!
my favorite video .. i love president Dieter.. i know he is a special witness from God...
We have so much potential. It is through Jesus Christ that we can fulfill it.
When you really know who you are ... That knowledge changes everything! ... You will never be the same, because that knowledge, awakens the divine potential within you and lifts you up to fulfill the measure of your creation as a child of God.
Oh Ucthdorf, how you never cease to enlighten me with a smile, and the knowledge I have a God who loves me.
This is so tender to my heart.
I love this
I love the ugly duckling story. It denigrates an entire group through a contrived and unlikely scenario while teaching that self worth is entirely based on superficial appearance. What an amazing message.
This is my most favourite film of all time. :,)
AMEN!

I am proud to be a morman
But this works both ways! Once we understand who WE are, we have to recognize who others are as well. And need to do our best to be kind and patient... the way we want others to be to us! We're all children of the same Father, who loves all of us.
I love this man!

What I like to think is that we are like 20 dollar bills, no matter if we get crumpled up or if we are old we all are the same worth to our Heavenly Father, just like a 20 dollar bill we will get thrown around a get crumpled and stepped on but our Heavenly Father sees a perfect 20 dollar bill no matter what we do
