My favorite video of a Journey of Gratitude session was the talk of Thomas S. Monson, "An Attitude of Gratitude." It was inspirational. The book of Luke is one of my favorites, and I remember chapter 17 when Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy; that is an excellent lesson of gratitude and kindness from our Lord Jesus Christ. It is essential to try a lot, make an effort to follow his steps, and become a better person. His example always lives in my heart. When President Monson said that like leprosy, today's plagues, they are found everywhere, and we know them as selfishness, greed, indulgence, cruelty, and crime, to identify but a few. Surfeited with their poison, we tend to criticize, complain, blame, and, slowly but surely, abandon the positives and adopt the negatives of life.   I feel so sad for everything that it is going on nowadays, there is so much evil everywhere, sometimes I forget the good things about life. My husband always watches the news; honestly, I wouldn

  This week's lesson was fascinating. And the book Field Guide for the Hero's Journey was useful, but my favorite one during this semester was Launching leaders. My favorite video was Hero's Journey, Corey Bell. His first job was with his grandfather, which was a brick mason when he was eight. He worked with Nabisco, Chrysler, Centurion Holding, and even Dell, but he wasn't happy. One day he got home and wrote his vision on life and wrote down the fifteen to a twenty-year plan of where he wanted his life to be. And he didn't know how to get there from there. Even if he worked as hard as he wanted to, he didn't even see that happening. So the only way he knew to change it was to break it and do something different because he wanted to have a way to touch people's lives. Being able to go in and see all of the people whose lives have changed, it's just been a remarkable thing to be able to see lives touched from an idea that we hatched around the dinner tab

 This week's lessons were inspirational. I also had the opportunity to interview my mentor and get deeper into her thoughts and personal life. That experience was so rewarding; it reminds me that successful people are ordinary people too, even though they have a lot of money, they are normal. One of my favorite lectures from this week is "Good to Great". Why Some Companies Make the Leap . . . and Others Don't by Jim Collins. This guide explored the defining management study of the nineties. It showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the very beginning. You can see a summary of the Good to Great process in the diagram below. If we had to describe the book's key concept in a single word, that word would be discipline. Discipline. Discipline. Discipline. • Disciplined people: means getting the right people and keeping them focused on excellence. • Disciplined thought

  The article about "7 habits" is an excellent guide to help people be highly effective, giving the ability to work the inside out to build the character of total integrity. The seven habits in this book will help you move from a state of dependence to independence, and finally to interdependence. While other books on the market point independence as the highest achievement, Covey argues that and explain that interdependence is the most exceptional result. The seven habits are breaking into three sections: 1. Dependence: Private Victory Habit 1 – Be proactive. I remember one of our lessons that I think we can include here: get up early and be proactive. Covey suggests taking a 30-day proactivity test where you make a series of small commitments and stick to them. We can influence our actions, but more than just taking the initiative, being proactive means taking responsibility for your life. The best way to show proactivity can be to stick to the commitments you make to y

  I absolutely love "A Hero's Journey" video! It was super inspirational; it reflects that we need to believe that we have an extraordinary mission on this earth. I was surprised when I learned that we mainly need perseverance and consistency rather than talent or skills. A "mission that will succeed beyond your wildest dreams, but only if you have the faith and courage to find that entrepreneurial calling.", this blows my mind. We forget that we have a purpose of accomplishing it. If I feel lost in the track, what it helps me is to read my patriarchal blessing. So, what does it mean to choose a hero's journey? It means to live every moment of your life like it matters because it does. That makes me feel so good. I like when he talks about to find great role models and ask them great questions. I compare this with my kids. They asked about everything because I am their role model and they hunger for knowledge. We need to be more like kids; we are so ashamed

  I liked this week's lessons from my Entrepreneur Class. I cannot stop thinking about one of the videos, "Do what you love." And I thought, "yes, that is what I want," but want I love? How difficult it is to know what you want to do with your life. Is normal for someone in their thirties something to be in that position? Maybe in a few years, I am going to able to respond to that question. I know I want to be my own boss, financial freedom, time to do what I like with my family. All this leads me to the conclusion that I need to have my own business. The video explains a theory about three circles, "The Hedgehog Concept" by Jim Collins. Is based on three questions: What are you deeply passionate about? What can you be the best in the world at? What drives your economic engine? Simple questions, complicated answers that make you think a lot! "A simple, crystalline concept that flows from deep understanding about the intersecti
