Week 10

            This week, reading the talk “Formula for Success” by President Monson, I learned that the formula to be happy and successful is to fill my mind with truth, my life with service, and my heart with love.

Watching the video “Balancing Your Life and Your Career Successfully”, I learned that I never must to put myself in a situation where I can’t say no. I have seen in my life that when there are situations when I can’t say no, I work doing things for others, things that I don’t like and that I don’t need to do. So, this was a great insight for me.

Watching the video “Is Work/Life Balance Possible”, I pondered about the insight of balancing time between job and family, and I pondered about the choice to leave each morning and work because this is worthy to provide for my family. Also, I pondered about my responsibility to provide for my wife and my daughter, because I try to spend the most time possible with them.

There are some activities from this week that made me to ponder about the promises that I make about spending time with my family, because I pondered that they are my priority, they are the reason why I work and I do anything. To live forever with my family is my dream.

After that, I pondered about my attitude toward money, because the money is important to run a business or to provide for my family.

Lastly, I learned about the way to be happy. I learned that discovering my calling in the life brings happiness, instead of just seeking a job or a career. Also, I learned that adversity makes my character, facing and solving each thing in a positive way. And, I pondered that I want to have a life of meaning, be loved by my family, and act as if the future of the universe depends of me.
