Week 12 Journal

The weeks topics studied suggest self-reliance “which is the ability, commitment, and effort to provide the spiritual and temporal necessities of life for self and family”

To Professor Yunus credit plays an important role in the lives of poor people and therefore he suggest that credit should be accepted as a human right. Credit opens up the locked in potential of human beings. The purpose of this week readings are to help us become better able to serve the Lord and care for others. Opportunity is what we all needed.

In sharing a response to a specific reading, video, or activity in this week’s content, what did spark my interest is some of Yunus statements that all human beings are creative beings each human being has great potential buried in him or her. We all have not paid attention to this creative aspect of human beings. All human beings are endowed with unlimited potential, because of barriers created by our societies, individual people never get the full opportunity to bring out their potential. An individual’s social consciousness and the urge to do good things for people on this planet can be as burning and even a more burning desire than personal gain.

In reflecting on my own personal development as regards to self-reliance, everything is being done possible with the help of my Father in Heaven to be self-reliant. The first is seeking education as I am doing, and doing my possible best to expand my business which I have started and be obedient to the Lords commandments.
