Week 7 Journal Entry

This week's topic was "moving forward with a driving passion". Some things I liked, some I didn't. I'm not a huge fan of the Guy Kawasaki videos. He seems a little arrogant to me, like while trying to explain how money is important, he tells us he's owned Porsche's, and not just any Porsche, top of the line ones. It's hard for me to get past that. President Hinckley's talk I loved. I love that it was directed at Young Women, first of all. I probably heard that talk growing up, and I love the optimism and enthusiasm I always feel from him. He touched on so many important things, but I loved that he talked about the importance of education, and also having integrity in all our choices. That's who he is to me: someone with extreme integrity in the way he lived his life. Finishing "Mastery" and writing the book report was also something I enjoyed. I always seem to want a quick fix for how to accomplish things, but it's the same in life as in the gospel: the same tried and true principles always apply, and it takes hard work and dedication to reach your goals. I'll get there someday, I hope, but that book gave me some really good insights to think about as I embark on the road of mastery.
