Week 4 Reflection

 As I think back to what I've learned this week, I will say that I have found that there are many different types of things that I've learned that have stood out to me.  One of them is the video " Do what you Love". I found this to be interesting because it discusses the importance of passion and why pursuing our passions helps us become our best selves. Before I found my passion for landscaping, I had quite a few other hobbies or interests, such as acting and martial arts. However, none of them quite stood out to me, or looked like something that I wanted to do until I served on my mission and discovered my love for it.

    Another one that I felt really connected with was the talk " Little Things are Important" by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin. What really struck me was how it taught me how to develop a deeper connection, not just with myself, but with Heavenly Father and those around me. To be able to strengthen that connection, I need to look at all the little things in my life, such as the time that I spend reading or even exercising. Those little things in my life can make a big difference and can change the way that I see things. Not only that, but if I can manage my time better, I will be able to accomplish so much more, and my life won't be a big bundle of chaos.

    The last thing that I feel connected to was the video " Take Control of Your Life". On this one, one of it's important aspects was on The Productivity Pyramid. This I found really helped me, because I like to look at it similarly to the Core Value Statements. By setting our beliefs and placing goals and tasks beside them, they can help you to get your life on track.

Week 1: Reflection

  Many different types of materials stood out to me this week. As I read through David A. Bednar’s message on Your Whole Souls as an Offering Unto Him, I began to have a change of heart in some aspects of my life, especially my career. He spoke on how, as we strive throughout our education and our lives, we must be willing to do all we can to achieve success the best way we can, and not going down the path of least resistance. I believe this means that we must not take the easy road.  Throughout my life, I have always chosen the easiest path. From the moment I graduated high school to the day I returned home from my mission, I have been worried/ afraid of failing, and the road ahead. Not only that, but I’ve just wanted to get done with college as quickly as I can, without any regard for the knowledge and experience I'm getting. I remember a few times in my life when my parents told me that if we always chose the easy road, then life would be harder, but if we chose the difficu...

Week 3 Reflection

      I will say that this week has been one that has had a lot of interesting things that I've both learned and applied to my life. The first comes from reading the book The Formula and the Happiness, as well as the video. It talks about how if we apply the steps of this formula to our lives, it will make it so much better and easier.  I've struggled quite a bit with some of these steps even before I learned about them, and I will say that I'm happy I did. I've been able to get up early on most mornings and begin to work on my tasks for the day. Rising up early, finding my drive, and especially giving back to people have helped me become more connected to the Savior than ever.     Another one comes from Sister Sheri L. Dew's talk True Blue, Through and Through. I found myself deeply connected to her topic about the virtue of integrity and how it helps us become closer to the Savior. She talks not just about being honest with our fellow men, but being ...
