This week was an
incredibly full week as I came off of a great spiritual weekend of instruction,
counsel, and guidance from prophets and apostles in our Semi-annual General
Conference. What an outpouring of wisdom from modern-day prophets and apostles
and the inspiration I so desire for my personal and professional life. As I
finished “The Ministry of Business” how correct principles magnify business
success by Steven A Hitz with James W. Ritchie, I was reflecting on how the
Lord truly is interested in all aspects of our lives. The scripture that recurs
many times in the Book of Mormon came to mind where the Lord promises, “For the
Lord God hath said that: Inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall
prosper in the land” (2 Nephi 4:4) and “men are, that they might have joy.” (2
Nephi 2:25) What a blessing it is to have inspired guidance, learning, and
knowledge imparted to us so freely.
As far as being a
difficult week, it was because I let an assignment in another class suck up my
time and distract me from my other classes. In that class, we had a business
management simulation where each hour represented a day in a factory and we had
to manage the orders coming in and purchase capacity on machines. I found
myself glued to my computer, waiting for the next day to see how our team’s
decisions and strategies were playing out. It was addicting. I found myself
putting off other important assignments until the last minute. Looking back, I
see how I managed my time poorly and allowed myself to become fixated on this
one thing. This was a good lesson for me to learn and look to avoid repeating
in the future with school or even in my career or business.
