Balance and money and happiness

     This weeks readings and videos were interesting to learn about. I enjoyed Team 8s presentation this week on money is not happiness, but it is helpful in this life and that it makes this life more comfortable. To be able to pay for food and clothes and bills and whatever you need in this life. But we need to make sure that we are not becoming money lovers and that we are willing to share our money with those who may need money.

     That is all about tithing, everything we have in this life is the Lord's. He has just blessed us with the things we have in our lives, the money we have. It is His in the first place, so we need to be willing to pay Him ten percent back of what we make because we love Him and appreciate Him. 

    Also, learning about balancing our lives with work. It is hard to get caught up in trying to make a lot of money, or just always working. But it is not healthy to do that. We all need to have balance in our lives. For me, I need to balance my schooling, my gym time, my phone time, and having a social life.

Parenting

 So, parenting can be a very hard job. You are literally raising children to be good people and to adults. What is the purpose of parenting? The purpose is to love your kids and teach them, to prepare them for life, to protect and prepare our children, to survive and thrive in the world in which they live in. Children need to learn respect, cooperation, and response-ability.      Who owns the problems? Parents need to do the poute request, then say the "I feel...", then they need to be firmer, then come up with a logical consequence... (If/ then, logical, firm/ friendly, try again). For teens/ children need natural consequences, except: too dangerous, too far in future, harm others. Both the parents and child need to discuss and talk the problem out and agree on what the consequences are going to be and make sure that they are reasonable and that they will learn something from their consequences.        Needs of child/ teens:   contact a...

Last Lecture

       I have enjoyed taking the Intro to Entrepreneurship class. I have come to enjoy thinking about ideas and seeing if I could make the idea happen, or not. Some ideas may seem impossible to do or just crazy, but if you are really devoted and build a team that can help you make your idea into an actual business or product then you got it. You can do anything you set your mind too, with help from the Lord. Remember Him in all that you do, He cares about your success and wants you to succeed.      There are things in this life we cannot control. When we focus on the things we can't do or control, we lose focus what was right in front of us, what we can do. If you focus on things, you can do and once thing you can't control then you will be able to make that one thing you couldn’t control or do into something you can. Never lose sight for growth. You want to become stronger and accomplish anything you set your mind to.       You alw...

Personal Transformation

       Setting and planning goals is super important to becoming a better version of yourself. We humans love to challenge ourselves and to set goals. But do we actually follow through?       For me, I have not been the best at setting goals or planning things out and following through with them. I usually start it them then I just stop when I'm mid-way through or when I just started. I realized for me that I need to be making SMART goals and realistic goals, and plan out it step-by-step. Also, I think having a purpose in mind of why you are doing it and being and staying motivated to accomplishing it is super important. So, this week I made a list of realistic things I want to do to make me a better person and that will help me in the future. I am striving to get them done.      Staying motivated and driven to doing anything is super hard but you have to remember your WHY. Why you decided to do it. Why you wanted to do it. Staying ...
