Remembering God daily

This week’s lesson was a great reminder to always have faith in the Savior. Studying Sister Sheri L. Dew’s talk reminds me of how nothing is impossible to the Lord. If I can keep this in mind when I face challenges, “have faith that the Lord can and will help you, and then diligently seek His help.” It is not enough for me to just have faith in Him, I must pray and ask then go and do the work. As I struggle everyday with my studies, if I put my trust in Him it would do me a lot of good. This part of the reading was an eye opener, “The more the Lord trusts you, the more knowledge and power He will give you.” This is a journey and I must treat it as such. It is not a one time thing, to pray only in my time of need, or in the beginning of the semester and explain all the things I need help with and then pray again at the end of the semester for help with my exam. I have to prove myself worthy of these blessings daily by doing things e.g. put Him first, keep His commandments, be prayerful etc that qualify me for His help and trust.

I was also reminded to don’t give up by the quote by Heber J. Grant, “There is no easy formula for success. Persist, persist, persist; work, work, work is what counts in the battle of life.” This line confirms that life is not easy, this journey for me is not going to be easy, but if I persist with the guidance from above I will be successful.

On the other side, it is important to have a business partner and workers that have work ethics that are aligned with yours. It means they will be willing to take risks with you. More importantly is to make my life plan goals aligns with God’s plan for me.

  I think the one thing I learn from this course that stood out to me is to always prepare. Whatever you plan to do in this entrepreneurial journey or working towards fulfilling your goals and dreams in this life you must do preparation and be ready to face not only failures and difficulties but also when experiencing success. Here are some examples of the kind of preparations you need to succeed or to get up and keep going when the going gets tough. 1.        Have a vision and action plan. As President Thomas S. Monson simply puts it, “Vision without effort is daydreaming…” Up until now I thought having so many great visions and dreams mean I already am going to be great in life, to end up the best in my career and on the top of the world. It turns out that not only I have to dream but follow through with some actions. Put effort into your goals and dreams. Start now and do not put it off to wait for perfect weather because someone else may beat y...

  Create a Life of Meaning Journal o      §   Why do you think Randy Pausch was able to achieve so many of his childhood dreams? I think Randy Pausch was able to achieve his childhood dreams because his parents encouraged his creative mind. It was also because he never gave up. He saw failure the way people did not see it as he received the rejection letter. It was an opportunity to reflect and see how badly he wanted that chance to work at Disneyland engineering department. That is why he ended up working there at the end. §   Do you feel that dreaming is important? Why or why not? I feel dreaming is important. It tells you how bad you want to achieve something, and this shows how ambitious you are. This usually tells you what you are good at and what your talents and gifts are. Having this knowledge will lead you to work hard to achieve your dream and not give up easily. §   ...

  Which of the 7 habits has the most meaning for you? Habit number four, Win/Win has the most meaning to me because as Jim Ritchie puts it, “In order to win truly and build characters you must also include a path for our friends and partners and even our competitors to also win.” This line made the Habit #4 felt not only as a habit to master in order to benefit you in this life journey but also to look at it with a spiritual perspective. We are to help others in life progress, help them become better human beings than you first met them. As we are taught in the church to love others as you love yourself, help build up the Lord’s kingdom by sharing, loving and caring for our neighbors. I reflected on this line from the video, and asked myself, what good is it if I am successful in life, build a life of comfort for myself and my family and not help a single person or someone become better like myself also. What is more eye opening is that it mentions “even our competitors to also...
