W08 Reflection

 This week’s study on overcoming challenges really hit home for me. It made me realize that struggles and setbacks are not just part of life, but actually an important part of learning and growth. I think a lot of times we focus so much on success that we forget how much we can gain from failure. After going through this week’s readings and videos, I can see more clearly that challenges are what shape our character and make us stronger. One of the things that stood out to me was how much attitude matters. When tough things happen, I can either let them drag me down or I can learn from them. I liked how the material talked about how every hero faces moments of doubt or fear, but what defines them is how they keep moving forward anyway. It reminded me that the times when I feel most uncomfortable or unsure are often when I’m growing the most.

I also really liked Elder Holland’s message about trusting in the Lord through our challenges. He said that good things take time, and that patience and faith are key to getting through hard moments. That really stuck with me because sometimes I expect results too quickly. Whether it’s in business, school, or personal goals, I need to remember to trust God’s timing and keep doing my part. What I’m looking forward to learning more about is how to stay consistent in my faith and attitude when things get hard. It’s easy to be positive when everything’s going right, but real growth happens when you stay strong through the challenges. This week helped me see that overcoming trials isn’t about avoiding failure it’s about learning, trusting, and becoming better because of it.

 This week really made me think about what actually matters in life. The readings and videos from “How Will You Measure Your Life” talked a lot about success and what it really means. It made me realize that being successful isn’t just about making money or having nice things it’s about living a life that feels meaningful and being proud of who you are. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was how small choices every day can shape who you become. It’s not just the big, life-changing moments that matter it’s the little stuff that adds up over time. That hit me because I know there are times I take the easy route or focus too much on short-term goals. I want to do better at making choices that match my values and who I want to be. Another thing that stood out was balance. It’s easy to get caught up in work or school and forget about the people and things that really matter like family, faith, and health. I want to make sure I’m keeping those things a priority no matter ho...

 Hunter Robison 10/03/25 This week’s lesson on honesty and business ethics really made me think about the kind of person I want to be, especially if I ever run my own business. One of the main things I learned is that honesty isn’t just about telling the truth it’s also about being consistent and doing the right thing even when nobody’s watching. That part hit me because it’s easy to talk about being honest, but actually living it out every day can be a lot harder, especially when things get stressful or money is involved. Something that really stood out to me was how important trust and reputation are in business. If people know they can rely on you, that’s worth more than money in the long run. Once you lose that trust, it’s really hard to get it back. I also realized that the right choice isn’t always the most convenient or the one that makes you the most profit, but it’s always the one that will make you feel good about yourself later. Writing out my “I will never” and “I wil...

 This week’s A Hero’s Journey video really got me thinking about what success actually means and how it’s not just about money or recognition, but about finding purpose and meaning in what we do. One of my biggest takeaways was that every person has the potential to live their own hero’s journey to face challenges, grow from them, and make a difference in the lives of others. I liked how the video compared life to a journey instead of a race. It reminded me that what really matters is who you become along the way, not just what you achieve. Something else that stood out to me was the message about calling. The video talked about finding work that matters and doing something that aligns with your values. That really hit home because I’ve been thinking a lot about what kind of work I want to do in the future. I don’t just want a job; I want to build something meaningful something that helps people or makes life better in some way. From the Mastery Skill, Character, or Luck lesson, ...
