W04 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

 Date 08/19/2022

  • As we studied the overview of the 7 habits, there was one in particular that stood out to me the most and that was, "Begin with the end in mind." The reason that this one stood out to me so much is because I have always struggled with anxiety. A lot of my anxiety debilitates me from doing things, and causes me to put the future in a negative light. I always worry about money, my future home, providing for future children, the possible negative situations that could or could not happen, and all of the things that come with growing up. As I read the overview of this habit, and sat and thought about what I would want my "ending" to look like, it made me come to an important realization. When I am at the end of my life, I don't want to look back and think about all the things I missed out on, and all the time I sat contemplating about the future. I don't want to sit and think about what I missed out in the present because I was so worried about what could potentially be a problem in my future. I want to look back and see all of the amazing things I did even though I was scared, and all the experiences I had. These things include starting a business, going for jobs or pursing passions outside of my comfort zone, etc. I don't want to sit and think about all the regrets that I have. I am young and capable, and I want to use that to my advantage right now. I want to start doing instead of just sitting and thinking about it or making excuses as to why I shouldn't do it. Now is the time to start pursuing my dreams, and becoming my ideal self. I know it's not going to be easy, but it will be worth it. Who knows, maybe the things that I am scared about the most will change my life for every in the best ways. 
  • These 7 habits will help me fill my life with passion and purpose because I will not only be pursuing my own dreams and goals but I will be helping people along the way. For me, there is only one greater feeling than accomplishing something I worked hard for, and that is helping those around me. In my future career, I want to be the type of person that not only succeeds because of the time and energy I put into something, but is also someone who helps and mentors those around her. When I seek to find win/win situations, work well in a team, prioritize and find ways to be proactive, etc. I feel like I am on top of the world. I know that if I were to make each of these habits permanent in my life, there is  no doubt that I would be successful. I would find the dream job I have been searching for, I would make a lot of friends, I would build my confidence, and I would become an even better worker. I am excited to start putting these habits to the test as I continue on in this class, and continue excelling in my career and education. These habits were truly inspired. 
  • As I move forward in this class, I am excited to continue to learn how I can become a better person and chase all my dreams and aspirations. This class and the material we have studied has given me insight on where I am at with my personal growth and how I can improve. I feel like I am on a better track now more than ever because of the tools and knowledge I have gained in this class. I can't wait to add more tools to my toolbox, and prepare myself for my future career.

W03 Reflection

 Date: 08/10/2022 There were many takeaways that I got while watching, "A Hero's Journey", but the main ones that stood out to me were:  1. We need to learn how to listen and ask questions rather than focus on being the smartest person in the room 2.Reflect on the the things that you lose track of time doing, and find ways to pursue them. 3.Ask the people around you what you are good at  4.Find a way to satisfy a need in the world These things stood out to me the most because I have been struggling and trying to figure out my divine potential. I have so many passions, goals, and ambitions, but I often struggle to know what is best for me. I have been counseling with the Lord and my family for those answers, but I feel that this talk was part of my answer. I feel that once I heard these ideas, I had a better understanding of how I should move forward and now have a concrete plan to figure out what makes me the person I am and how I can use my talents and gifts to become wh...

W07 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journey

 Date: 09/05/2022 This week the things that stood out to me the most, were the ideas of having an attitude of gratitude and being a constant learner. The reason these things stood out most to me are because I feel like I lack a lot in both of these. I often find myself being very pessimistic and negative and letting the stress and possible negative outcomes rule how I think. I don't look at the hopeful things and a lot of that is because of the lack of gratitude that I often have. I felt very inspired as I studied this week, that I need to start looking for and focusing on all the amazing blessings that I have in my life especially when things don't seem to be going the best. I know that if I start doing this, I will become a happier, more uplifting person, and that I will find more success in my life. In regard to being a constant learner, I feel inspired that I need to find ways to continue to learn and grow after I graduate. I am a senior right now, and the fall semester wil...
