Week 1: Jan. 5 - 10
“Keeping a journal will
help you in at least two ways. First, it helps you record lessons and questions
in a way that lets you understand them more deeply and turn them into habits.
Second, the process of journaling will help you become more reflective and will
help shape the way you view your life and the world around you.” ~ Jeff
Sandefer
I had a friend when I was single once laugh really hard at something that happened. I thought she was joking when she said, "I'm so putting that in my journal tonight." She was not and has kept a journal every day. She looks back at some of her journal entries and they bring back joy, sorrow, insight, memories, and so much more. I should keep a journal too.
-"When young people
can acquire the skills, the techniques, and the knowledge of these times, and
along with it have a spiritual commitment and a solid faith and cleanliness of
life, there is nothing that you can't achieve; nothing in righteousness
or in reason." ~ Elder Evans
-“When
it comes to academics, do not choose the path of least resistance. Take the
path less traveled.” – Elder Bednar
I
love when they make reference to my favorite Robert Frost poem.
-When we think of
company's having a "brand," we envision various things from logos,
standards, customer service, reputation, etc. What is your brand?
