Week 05 Reflection Journal



I oftentimes find myself reflecting upon my life if I haven't found the gospel of Jesus Christ, where would I be? What would I be doing? The gospel does bring light and truth to my life.We are sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father, He loves us unconditionally and will always provides ways for us to overcome our challenges in this life. Since lately my faith have been tested in so many ways, but because of my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ I keep pressing on, feasting upon the words of God and continue in faith and prayer. In General Conference an important lesson was shared by Michelle D. Craig that we must see ourselves as God sees us. That really stood out to me because sometimes I feel like I'm not who God wants me to be.

This week I learn so many insights from the videos and readings, however, I will share from the lessons that resonate me from the Hero's Journey and perseverance by James E. Faust.

Lessons learn't from the Hero's Journey
  1. We should believe that we  have a very special mission on this earth. A mission that will succeed beyond our wildest dreams, but only if we have the faith and courage to find that entrepreneurial calling.
  2.  choosing a hero’s journey  means to live every moment of our lives like it matters, because it does. It means to live as if we have an important mission, because we do. It means seeing struggles as adventures, and setbacks as lessons. 
  3. if we choose the hero’s journey, we will give up measuring ourselves against others. If we are on a fool’s errand, there’s always someone who is smarter, or richer, or better looking. We will always be dissatisfied and unfulfilled in looking for another rat race to run.
Lessons learn't from President James E. Faust:

"Perseverance  is demonstrated by those who keep going when the going gets tough, who don't give up even when others say, it can't be done."
He also share some pointers that can bring us opportunities and blessings:
  • We must learn how to organize and use our time wisely
  • We must work (reap what we sow)
  • We must learn leadership skills
  • We must learn people skills
  • We must learn the value of studying the gospel
  • We must have respect for authority
  • We must learn the importance of prayer
  • We must learn humility and dependence on the Lord

  Article of faith 1:13 said, "We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul . We believe all things, hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." Sheri L. Dew suggest seven things that will help us become men and women of integrity that resonates me. Decide today, once and for all, that you will be worthy of trust Decide today, once and for all, that you will be worthy of trust Make covenants and keep them .   Stand up for what you believe Expect your integrity to be challenged Don’t give up Covenant–or perhaps I should say, renew your covenant–with our Father and His Son to do what you came here to do My individual learning from this course is that I must stand up for what I believe in and be true to myself and others no matter...

Week 13 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

    This week I want to reflect on Thomas S. Monson talk, "An Attitude of Gratitude" Accentuate the positive  Eliminate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with Mr. in between President Monson counsels us that, o n the Sabbath day our thoughts should turn to our Savior Jesus Christ who atoned for our sins, who showed us the way to live and how to pray, and who demonstrated by His own actions the blessings of service. Born in a stable, cradled in a manger, this Son of God, even Jesus Christ the Lord, yet beckons to each of us to follow Him. Ten lepers were healed by Christ, the expressed gratitude by one merited the Master’s blessing, the ingratitude is shown by the nine, makes Him disappointed. Like the leprosy of yesteryear are the plagues of today, they linger; they debilitate; they destroy.  Their pervasiveness knows no boundaries, we know them as selfishness, greed, indulgence, cruelty, and crime. Surfeited with their poison, we tend to criti...
