Gratitude

One of the things I've reflected on this week is that everything in life is a process. You don't reach the summit of a mountain unless you've done the previous preparation to aid you in the journey. Though not every challenge should be viewed as an impossible task as well. Like the story of Mr Haykin, he looked at most things as learning opportunities and then used that learning over time to benefit himself for the future endeavors. Also, Pres Monson shared how we need to be grateful for the things we have been blessed with. If we see things as what we have instead of what we don't, then we will be better off. The attitude we exhibit will determine how we will perform. Nothing in life is given to us, and we must make the effort to reach the goals we desire.

I also liked the thought that was shared that when we reach the success we desire, one should make efforts to assist those who are in need. That would be a blessing, to be able to help those around yourself and maybe help others in whatever they need. It would be fulfilling to be able to do those things and know that you are simply a vessel to do good.
