Come As You Are

A lecture that I would share with people would be about dreaming big dreams. I loved that lecture because it really encouraged people to go for their "big dream". Not only to go for a big dream but also to dream big. We are the only ones holding us back so we shouldn't hold ourselves back, ever! I think this lesson really resonated with me because, I admit, that I'm afraid to dream big. I've gotten comfortable with a lot of things in my life and living comfortably make it hard to want to grow or change. That is something that I would like to change after taking this class.  A piece of advice (there's a few) I would give someone before they start their entrepreneurial journey would be to have a solid plan set into place before starting. To acquire mentors or associates in the business industry to give you tips, suggestions, advice, etc. as to how to start up a successful business. I'd also advice them to thing of what they want to achieve with their entrepr

 I loved the talk given by Thomas S. Monson about having an attitude of gratitude. This isn't a new talk that I just read this week but one that I have read often. I think it's important in our lives to be grateful for all that we have because we really have been given so much in this world. There is another talk that was given by Elder Eyring where he would keep a gratitude journal and write in it daily. The think that I loved about this idea was that the things he wrote down weren't always huge things. In fact, a lot of them were small things that a lot of the time, we don't notice or take for granted. Like birds singing in the morning. Or someone letting you through in traffic. Or someone giving you a compliment that day. How many time do we miss these small things everyday because we don't take the time to reflect and notice them?        Another reason why I love the idea of have a heart of gratitude is because it helps us to remember our Savior who created this

Do we help our fellow men? With or without money are we helping and serving others? What I loved about the thought provoking study material this week was that it said it was okay to make wealth and to want to make wealth. I think a lot of times, people who have a lot of wealth are seen as maybe selfish. We don't know what they did to earn that wealth. We don't know what they are currently doing to help other people with their wealth either.      Personally, I think it's a little easier to give to others when you have money but on the other hand, does it mean more if you give others some of your money if you have less of it? I don't think those are really answers anyone can answer except for ourselves in our own situations. We don't know other people's situations and so can never know how easy/hard, much/little they have done for others. It's not up to us anyway to look at others to determine if they've done too much or too little. We just need to focus o
