An Attitude of gratitude was the talk I read for this week's homework. It was given by President Monson many years ago. The first time I remember listening and learning about gratitude was in a Young Women camp. We were learning about the six B's. Since then, I have made a special effort to be grateful not only with God but with the people around me.
Another thing that we learned this week was about recognizing opportunities. I don't know if it's just me, or it's the fact that I lived in a big city for 19 years but I'm always up and down, I have to be doing something, I can't just sit down and do nothing. I remember when I first came to the US and I had a little girl, I was just married and I had this same attitude of "I need to be doing more" so without knowing a lot of English I started to look for a job that I could do from home with my little girl. So, I found one, and I've been with the same company for 12 years now. Although I like many things about my job, I still look for more opportunities to grow and learn more.
I think life will pass us by really fast if we don't take advantage of the many opportunities we have to grow. Not only in the work scope, but also in the family life, church life, everything!!.
When we realize that all things are blessings to us and opportunities God gives to perfect ourselves, I think our view changes and even our priorities may change too.
I think we all have the opportunity to be an entrepreneur. I think we all have it in us.
