REFLECTIONS

In reflecting upon the readings I read and the videos I watched, what I was able to deduce from them in a sentence is what James E. Faust thought about Perseverance. “Perseverance is demonstrated by those who keep going when the going gets tough, who don’t give up even when others say, “It can’t be done.”

Jeff said the hero’s journey is all about me but it is not about me at all that is the paradox, what is it to choose a hero’s journey? It means to live every moment of my life because it matters. Because I have an important mission, it means to go through struggle; it isn’t the price at the end but the hero at the end.

I must learn how to listen which is most important, learning to ask questions and learning to live a life of meaning. “Success is usually earned by persevering and not becoming discouraged when we encounter challenges. Each of us should serve faithfully and diligently in our priesthood callings until the end of our days. Some might wonder, “How long do I have to be a home teacher?” My answer is that home teaching is a priesthood calling. To serve in the calling of a home teacher is a privilege as long as our bishop and priesthood leaders feel we are able to do so.” James E. Faust
