It's good to reevaluate goals the goals I put in my last journal entry, because I need to recommit to them both! I have been observing more, but I haven't been writing down ideas. I asked one of my friends about how I have changed since my mission, but I didn't ask about my strengths.. This week I am resetting the goals and writing them down so I don't forget to work on them. But I can't believe how much I'm learning. My mindset is beginning to change toward what a Entrepreneur really is. I used to think that you just have to out-smart the competition, but according to the intro and first chapter of "The Ministry of Business," that is not the case. A lot of it has to do with what opportunities present themselves and how we act on those opportunities. Business tied in with gospel principles is so powerful. My Mission President once said that while a lot of businessman rely on the arm of the flesh, a disciple relies on God's mercy and grace, and that's what "The Ministry of Business" explains: shifting the praise of success from yourself to God, explaining that God puts the circumstances in our paths to give us success. The trick is finding God's will, receiving revelation, and acting upon it. When I first started these readings they would pump me up to act. I wanted to start my own business on the spot just to experiment! But after analyzing my situation as a poor college freshman, I figured that unless a giant opportunity comes up, it would be best to focus on school so Heavenly Father can continue to teach me more about my calling through school. Sprinting mindlessly with no ideas nor time to commit to a business sounds like a formula for failure.
