mind, body, and spirit

One thought. How do you want to be remembered at your funeral. Now, go and live that life today, tomorrow, next week, until the day you die. We only have one life to live, stop wasting your life trying to decide how to live it. We spend way to much time trying to compare our lives with others, instead we need to live the life that God intends for us to live, not what others should live. If we want to be remembered for our integrity, then live a life full of integrity. If we want to live a life with excitement and adventure, then go jump out of planes and surf the big waves and live a life of excitement and adventure. We truly are the only ones holding ourselves back from the life we want to live and be remembered by. If you want to begin the entrepreneur journey, then start today! Stop letting the fear of failure get in your way. Failure is part of the learning process of being an entrepreneur.

As I reflect on my reading this past week, one thought stand out above the rest. President Monson says, "This is a wonderful time to be living here on earth. Our opportunities are limitless. While there are some things wrong in the world today, there are many things right..." It seems as if I let me self dwell on the negative things that are going on around me, instead of being grateful for the wonderful things I have in my life. I often give way to the forces that would have us think that there is no good in this world and there is no use trying. President Monson goes on by saying, "We can lift ourselves, and others as well, when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude." I am truly uplifted when I am around people who are grateful for all that they have and also those who always express there gratitude for even the smallest blessings. I have come to realize how happy I am when my children expre...

Virtue and integrity are so vital to our economy because without it the game becomes so unreliable that nobody will want to play it. Markets will empty and share prices will collapse if people think the markets are rigged. If CEO's and CFO's conceal losses and make things look like they company is doing wonderful, and then later on it's found that the company is not actually on good footings, people will lose confidence and trust in investing in these companies. According to Charles Handy, the real justification for the existence of business is to make a profit so that the business can do something more or better.
