Lead

This week the reading, Leadership with a Small "L" by President Kim B. Clark was what stood out to me. I have a joke with my friends that lists make everything 85% more convincing. Because one, it gives people things to look at visually, two it gives them an order in which to accomplish things, and three you took the time to listen to me list off these three things and I seam suddenly more convincing.

This quote from Kim B. Clark's talk teaches us to be like Christ but I think we need to be like him by preaching his gospel. 


But in all seriousness, I really enjoyed the three principals of Lead by Example, Lead with Vision, and  Lead with Love. Leadership can be vital in the world today and as members of the church we are called to lead the world as examples. We are called to lead through His vision we must make it our own, we must understand that God has a plan for us, that doesn't mean we get it but we know it is there and we trust it. Then we are called to share the happiness we find with others around us and love them. I think that is what Kim B. Clark was saying. We are called and it is simple in the ways in which we can help lead the world into the next step, for we are in the last days and we must do all that we can to help lead those on the right path.

Do what makes you happy.

This week what I got out of the readings was to do what makes me happy. I was intrigued by the amount of people talking about doing what you love and not doing a job that will make you unhappy even if you think it will only be for a little while. I think I often in the past have done things just for the money. I know that even if you hate the job but love the people you work with that it helps a lot. But I also think you need to like the company you work for as well. Right now I work as a personal assistant for my aunt. She tends to have me do the work she doesn't like to do. But I enjoy working for her and I like the kids most days. But I think a parent feels that way too. I just get paid for it. I don't mind shipping packages which is also what I do. And normally I love cooking. This week specifically has been hard because we are moving and my aunt and her husband are at Disney World right now. She left me with the kids and lots of moving. But I have loved eating feelings w...

Dont give up

Something on my mind a lot this week was to not to give up. I thought a lot about how my interview went and how I am much like the person I interviewed, we both want to be inspirational soeakers and how when I told her that she kinda laughed sadly and said me too and I'm 53. It was sad that I  saw this woman as someone who was successful and yet she didnt feel like she was doing all she could. I want to be able to say whatever I do is me reaching my potential and that I am happy! These two quotes helped me as I thought about that this week.
