Good Things to Come

“Don’t give up, boy. Don’t you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead—a lot of it—30 years of it now, and still counting. You keep your chin up. It will be all right in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come.”

 '' Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come."

 These are two of my favorite quotes from this Mormon Message that we watched this week for our class. I hadn't thought about this video in a long time, and I was shocked to see it on our agenda of preparation for the week. I absolutely love the message of this video and I think it applies to everyone, especially right now as a college student. There are constantly decisions having to be made and sometimes "random" challenges that are presented before us.

 Although life gets tough, we are tougher. This week, I learned the importance of pushing through and moving forward. You never know what's around the bend. Peace will come. Joy will come. Love is present, if you only search for it. Don't ever give up. There is better coming. Everything will be okay in the end.

Attitude on Money

This week, we focused a lot on our priorities in life, such as God, Family, Education, Relationships, Money, etc. We read a couple mini cases that helped open our minds to the possible situations we could face in the future as business people and parents. It was really interesting to read the stories and try to put myself in their shoes. I was actually kind of thrown off at first because I read the story and immediately had no idea what I would do. I talked with my roommate and she asked me a question to get my mind focused and thinking: "Would you choose work or family?". Immediately, I knew that I would choose family, I had no doubts. However, in the moment I was flustered. I'm glad that I was presented with that question, because now I have written down my priorities and I know where I stand and what I want. We also read another article this week called, "Attitude on Money". First of all, my attitude towards money is this: I know that money is important ...

Success

“The  first  and  best  victory  is  to  conquer  self;  to  be  conquered  by a elf  is,  of  all  things,  the  most  shameful  and  vile.” -Plato “You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself... the height of a man’s success is gauged by his self-mastery; the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment. … And this law is the expression of eternal justice. He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.” -Da Vinci Basically, what I learned this week is that ANYONE can be successful. It just takes a matter of time and effort. Do you think you have what it takes? Then DO IT. Don't overthink it. Don't stress about things that don't matter. Sit down. Pray. And make a plan. If you're feeling stressed, call mom. Or get some ice cream. Or go for a run. Or get on Pinterest for 10 minutes. But only 10 minutes because y...

How Will You Measure Your Life?

This week was a huge learning experience for me. I don't know if you have read A Ministry of Business , but if you haven't and you plan on being a successful human being, I suggest you read it. I'm not saying that you won't be successful if you don't read the book. I'm just saying that if you read the book, you might have more success in your life. Okay, besides that, I wanted to touch on a few life questions that our professor asked us to ponder this week. They are as follows: 1. Will I be happy in my career? 2. What about my relationships? 3. How do I stay out of jail? Before this week, I can honestly say that I have never asked myself the third question. It has never crossed my mind. But, this class has been teaching me and pushing me to do things I've never done before, which I love. I pondered these a lot throughout the week and I think I will continue for awhile.  One of my favorite quotes is by C.S. Lewis and it goes, "Integrity is doi...
